For the record...   somewhere in the hour 17:10-18:10, third tentacles appeared for those who did not already have the first two tentacles completely surrounded by armies.

It still seems to be one a day in the evening. and tentacles can go farther and farther from your city (i.e. 3 or farther blocks away)

For those who surrounded tentacles with camped armies early, they still have the 1 or 2 they had when they finished surrounding them.

Also... cities which had tentacles surrounded but not their cities surrounded, did not get a third tentacle.

Also also, tentacles do not seem to appear on impassable terrain.

Has anyone tried to occupy a corrupted square with an elemental? Audrey does seem to hate elementals.

That was indeed the case on one of Audreys corrupted squares. It seems like these mini-Audreys behave quite differently, though. Almost the opposite - you can suppress growth by sending an army(edit: by sending several armies to surround it), while anything sent to Audrey herself increases the rate of growth...

ooh.. I notice some of the other players at this stage surrounded tentacle one in with armies in time and they don't have tentacle two at all. That gives good evidence that surrounding them is the thing to do.

You can't be completely surrounded by impassable squares. That would be the ultimate troll city. Nobody could ever siege you.

One of my two tentacles is not adjacent to my town so it is not just the 8 adjacent spots. I suppose 20 tentacles got loose though so it is possible they are trying to go around the city two-thick.

On that note I also wonder what would happen if a town was surrounded by canyons or water since the second tentacle seems to have avoided the canyon next to my town. Maybe if you are surrounded by all bad spots you win automatically xD

I was thinking that maybe it would keep building up to 8 squares, until the next new moon.

Well... only 2 so far and it is over a day since it started xD So...1 a day. I am not sure the exact amount of time between the two though since I was at work. Today is the last day of the illy full moon.. I don't know if that will change anything.

Although things are faster than they have been for 2 months we aren't exactly up to 'swift' yet.
