OK just checked in my alt account and got this message:
So it looked like nothing had changed However.........I also got this
Obviously cav don't do well on that terrain ..... but it still resulted in DEAD MAGES ! ![]() ###### EDIT ####### OK my mistake ... got all excited for a moment! I sent a 2nd army to a vacant spot nr The Tower and a faction army occupied it before I got there .... so it was ME who attacked them! *must read the report properly next time* ![]() Edited by Endrok - 08 Aug 2015 at 10:56 |

Thanks - nice to know. I've scouted faction hubs before and got nothing ...... time to send out the scouts again.

I'm not sure if the factions allready attacked, but one thing that did change was scouting trade hubs. I did it before but there never were any troops at the hubs. Yesterday, I found 63 lost dwarves in the empty halls, which apparently were not that empty.

In the case of the Tower, they hate everyone equally so they could still be smart and kill the easier targets first. I don't agree that hate would mean they act entirely without thought.
Also: In future, when they seek to destroy cities will they use their forces on camps as well, or save every man to storm nearby towns? Edited by Corwin - 07 Aug 2015 at 12:18 |

Good point on the camp size, I guess that's something we'll find out in due course. However if it is the case that they avoid large camps then that takes much of the sting out of 'Destroy at any cost'. All the factions currently have a list of 'known Units' ..... we don't know if there are any unknown unit types yet to be deployed. Would make things far more interesting if this was the case! |

Hate implies that they won't be able to think rationally and attack regardless of their survival chance and army size.
To my knowledge there are no specific spells used by NPCs. This at least was the case when undead attacked with magic during one of the tournaments. Attacked troops should benefit from magic resistance so commnaders with maxed Force Of Will is a good idea.

I wonder how intellegent factions really are. Will they attack every camp, or will they skip if the number of troops in an encampment is too large? I mean, I don't attack legions with an army of 100 units, why would they? Do factions have their own diplo range? And at what rate do they rebuild lost troops? And in the case of the Tower, what spells do those mages cast?

Yes, apart from the mines close to The Tower there are 3 player camps (one belonging to my alt) Well we're a few hours in and no attacks that I know of, at least not on my camp nr The Tower. http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/World/Map/542/-2934 I did see some faction troops leaving The Tower this morning, heading S.E. They ignored 2 camps, 2 towns on their way to occupy an 'Ancient Graveyard'/Clay spot 28sq S.E. from their hub Still waiting for that first hit! Wondering if the initial actions will only be triggered by new camps that landed after the change in faction behaviour. So I've sent another army to occupy this spot just to see: Endrok / Erik Redbeard |

I saw that someone, or someones, set up some encampments around one of the hatred faction hubs. I guess they want to see what it is like to get hit? Is this happening with the Tower/Omen?
