Heart of Corruption

~~ Since there is another area of the map with an extensive section of 0 food, I believe the developers used a game mechanic to prevent players from settling in areas that they wished to put some of the major factions.

Fungus and mold - not plants, different biologcal kingdom. Might be spot on with rest though...

It looks like a vine, acts like a vine, it's not spreading out looking for food, it's just growing.  It survives because it doesn't need the food as we know it in the game; it's photosynthesis.    It's getting plenty of water in the rainforest plus sun to convert to food.   It's growing because it's thriving in that climate.      We can't change the climate in the game, we can't burn it and can't starve it.    Troops won't work but I wonder if magic will; the problem is getting close enough and finding the right blight to cast on it?

Has anyone sent a sacrificial caravan to harvest the resources?   I'm going to try to see how close we can get to the ends of the vine.     At least we'll know our limitations on how close we can get.

Good point!  Has anyone scouted the edges of the vine?    I'm so far out it would take days for an army but I could sacrifice one if no one else is willing.

Edit:  I have a caravan harvesting resources on the square next to the edge of the vine, let's see if it grows to that square or my caravans survive.    Scouts out on the adjacent square to see if we can scout the edge of that thing.

hope it...new UI ftw and factions are too important to delay any further
