The most recent update to CoE5 added in a trade town for guildmaster if they don't start on the water, it is unaffected by this mod.
Lettin you know, seems an easy fix.

Yes it will grow naturally but it is a low chance per year based on various settlement sizes a human player needs to own.

does population grow slowly/randomly over time or do I need to kill something somewhere else on the map to trigger immigration?

@GG Heavy Infantry and Footman (From Baron)

Just found out that crossbowmen can also be turned into ebonsteel versions, not just heavy infantry. Are there any other troops that can be equipped with ebonsteel?

@GG I changed up to allow the grand wizard to also become an archmage (they have same ritual power level now); but the Grand wizard is much more expensive (being a thematically younger version of the grand wizard). Hopefully that works for now. The previous ritual to link the grand and old wizard was removed and I forgot to fix something so this is a patch.

How do I promote an old wizard to archmage? I had a grand wizard grow into an old wizard but he didn't gain any new rituals.

@GreenGhost The player is converting time to summons with no resource cost so the chances are much lower. You should have a 6% chance to summon a normal elemental, then if that fails a 50% chance to summon 1-2 lesser version depending on elemental type. Otherwise it fails.

Is it on purpose that the fabricate elemental rituals fail most of the time?

Really like this mod, cant play without it anymore :). I like the look of the new amazons. Also, thanks for the speedy updates

@ GreenGhost Fixed.

Are the new bards meant to be stupid? Seems weird considering they're ritual casters, not moving and drains money without an obsious way to get rid of them.

Thanks for the update!

It just felt weird due to how the various tooltips make it clear that we should be able to build a thieves guild on pirate bays, as there is some synergy between the different guilds.

@Gopher Any trade 1 will allow Thieves guild. But I fixed this adding 1 trade to pirate ports since that seems fair.

Weird... how do Guildmasters build Thieves Guilds on them, then? lol

Pretty sure that's vanilla

Question: Does this mod remove trade value from Pirate Ports or is that a vanilla thing?

Updated for new version.

Love the mod! The economy feels so bland without it! lol

Thanks I noticed the Grand Wizards are supposed to automatically become an Old Wizard after about 4 years. The code for that was missing and now is fixed.

How do you upgrade grand wizards into old wizards? Also are inn-recruited grand wizards meant to only have 3 random warlock rituals?

@Gopher Thanks. Forgot to update something when new classes were added. Hotfixed. Raksharaja is on my list but just too busy.

So, I have found an odd situation: Adventuring Party's text information is superimposing into the Raksharaja class selection on class select while Adventuring Party's selection itself is empty. After some sleuthing, I determined it is because Adventuring Party is using Raksharaja's in-game class number of 29, and upon looking, I realized: I can't find anything in the populum.c5m regarding Raksharaja! I notice Monkey Maharaja have likewise not recieved any love, but they at least get to keep their info screen! lol

@Vanilla I can put it on the list though my time is very limited. If someone wants to take a shot at adding to and continued development of the mod I'd be happy to oblige.

@Xelos I mean if the AI will have smarter actions

is there any way for an unexpected hero that turns into a barbarian to get expendable units if your original race doesn't have access to any? (trying to figure out how to access the mod mechanics on races that don't originally start with access)

@hahahacker: I think "Goblin" was added as a new resource that my mod hasn't reworked. What class were you playing / what was the exact name of the ritual?

@Icarus: To recruit an elder cyclops you need a rock troll first to get a normal Cyclops. Then you should get an offer for an Elder Cyclops but you need to have the Cyclops present at the recruit location. There is also a gem cost associated.

@Vanilla: Do you want more NPC classes to fight?

How many gobins are you supposed to need to start a coal mine, because I had like 20 vs the 10 it said and it still said not enough.

How can I recruit elder cyclopses, whenever i try it gives me a message saying "no cyclops can be converted here"

I wonder if there will be an addition to the AI

Thanks found a bug in Toad warriors and will be updated in next patch. Updated polymorph to get rituals. May have some problems given rituals have a limit on the number of commands.

What did you mean by: "when a cat familiar gains spells it loses acute senses"? Cat familiar isn't supposed to get spells.

Please report in Bug reports thread in the future, I'm going to turn off comments here soon.

Is a beholder vessel supposed to have no spells initially?

when a cat familiar gains spells it loses acute senses

The spear version of the toad warrior has a obsidian clubsword instead of a spear

6 range is correct. The only javelins that should have very high range are the units with flying attribute who are technically flying and throwing a javelin.

Princep guards only have range 6 on their javelins

Fixed in recent update.

Are the spider tribe archer's only supposed to have 4 range with their small poison bows? It seems weird since serpent tribe warriors have 15 range on their javelins and you'd think bows would have better range than a thrown javelin, heck even slings have 10 range.

@Templar There was an issue with the ritual "Royal Sacred Appointment" to upgrade the monk being too high a level and not showing up. Should be fixed now. Thanks for the heads up.

how do you get the Abbot unit? i have a monk on a temple and it says im on the wrong tile

I can't remember how long it takes but it does eventually die after a certain point. (the unit slowly takes damage each turn)

Ok thanks I wasn't sure since the prisoner still cost gold I'll test it out by leaving them for a while.

If I remember correctly after a while the prisoner either transforms into another unit which eventually goes away or prisoners themselves eventually go away and vanish. At the end of this process you no longer have a useless parasite draining your economy.

Just curious what does making unruly people prisoners actually do for the Baron?

Thank you very much!

That is very unusual to have a Republic starting tile on non-Elysium plane. I can see if there's a way to prevent that.

Yes, the tribune is the normal start commander for Republic.

Also, is the senator supposed to start off as a tribune?
