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...

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

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.

Anyone want to volunteer a city and let the tentacles grow unchecked and find out what would happen?

I have an elemental reinforcing someone else on a tentacle. I am pretty sure I also made an attack with an elemental that didn't see anything to attack, either.

4 sets of 5 tentacles escaped. Corrupted squares around cities are appearing 1 a day... so perhaps the next thing to happen (maybe an actual attack) will be on the 4th or 20th day.

Or perhaps if we trap the current tentacles from growing for some number of days, something will happen.

update:

It seems some people now have a 4th tentacle! it is currently 4:27 and I have no idea when in the last 10 hours it appeared because I was not watching...


In other news, it looks like normal (fishable) lakes may also block tentacles.

Note: I am just summarising what I see happen to other people's towns (sorry if this is impolite... I just wanted to make sure anything about the mystery I could see by looking around the map was recorded for posterity). My two tentacles are still currently surrounded and not expanding.

I have 4 tentacles now, its impossible to block them all in, since most my armies were at Karak Drak waiting for the attack that the FT has been warning about for months...and that town is mostly isolated from my other 16 cities.

This will really be dumb, and a huge waste of time and resources, if the whole part of the quest is to block the tentacles from getting to a certain number.

My guess is that the strength of the attack on the city will depend on the number tentacles spawned.
