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.

Re: Ritual/site searching questions
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  |

Re: Ritual/site searching questions
I take it there is no "auto forge" option in the same vein? It'd be nice to set up little owl quill factories and such without having to micromanage each turn.

That would be good, yes.

Re: Ritual/site searching questions
You know, that shouldn't be hard to code in... Given that you can shift-m for rituals... But then, Johan O. might have my head on a spit for incorrectly stating that. ;-)

Re: Ritual/site searching questions
Reading the pre-release threads, I found myself understanding that the likelihood of finding that type of site in that type of terrain would be taken into consideration as well. For example, with certain sites settings, it might be more likely to find an Astral site in plains than in Mountains, and thus the auto-search would suggest a plains for Arcane Probing. Is this not the case?

Re: Ritual/site searching questions
Doesn't seem to take province type into consideration.
What it seems to do:
When the order is given, choose the lowest numbered unsearched province.
When the spell is cast, again set the caster to cast the spell on the lowest numbered unsearched province, if the gems are available.
Two annoyances with this are, since spells are cast before battles, it will not target provinces taken that turn. Also, new gems haven't been acquired yet, so you have to have enough gems left at the end of the turn for next turn's searches.
I'm not sure what happens if a targetted province is taken. Probably the order is cancelled.

Really? What settings and why?
Could you point me to some of the threads that you've mentioned by any chance? |
