Ritual/site searching questions

[JaydedOne]

1) How does one set a monthly ritual? The manual, as fantastic as it is, doesn't seem to address this. It IS possible to have a ritual set to auto-cast each month right?

2) How do you use the simpler magic site searching function? I didn't see it immediately in the manual. I tried having two mages cast Dark Knowledge in the same turn and the game suggested the same site for both. Is there something I have to enable or press to have it suggest sites?

1) Shift-M key. I thought I put that in. Guess not.

2) I do not believe there is. You can set a mage to site search monthly using the monthly ritual feature. That's it as far as I know.

Edit: Shift. I meant that.

Jayded, I would add #2 to the bug thread in case it's a bug.

re. #2 - IIRC it will suggest the lowest numbered unsearched province. Obviously if another mage is given the order to search the same province it is still as yet unsearched, so it won't see a problem.

I'm not sure how this plays out when it comes to subsequent turns though...

Hrrmm. Sounds like a bug, as they really shouldn't be stacking redundant searches. Seems it'd be best to have the game assign target provinces only when the turn is submitted, but before it starts computing the results.

Known bug ...

I hope it gets fixed ASAP.

So that means you can't have more than one mage per path auto-searching?
That needs to be fixed. It would make the auto-search almost useless.

Yep, and it will be fixed in the first patch, Im pretty sure.

It's still very nice when I'm "blitzing" vs the AI; you can just forget about site-searching for a while. The other issue with this is how it likes to search your home province
