I don't understand this. I started a new game, but my Sovereign doesn't seem to be able to learn any magic spells. I tried researching them, but I get a message saying that it will take forever to learn. The last game I played I didn't run into this issue. Can anyone help ?
Are you producing any arcane knowledge? You should see a number in the middle-lower left of the screen where the arcane research bar is indicating how much arcane knowledge you are producing. If the number is 0 then you will never 'get there'.
Yup, you can't learn spells until you build your first improvement that produces arcane knowledge or you recruit a champion that produces arcane knowledge
That was my problem, thanks. I guess in my other game I didn't realize I actually built in my town the building to research arcane knowledge. Thanks again !
I played a game yesterday, and had plenty of arcane knowledge points, but the oly spells I was given to choose from were strategic spells, no tactical spells were ever presented... Was there something I did incorrectly or missed?
hit the little arrow at the corner of the righthand page...
There
There were no additional pages (or if there were, the were inaccessible since there was no little arrow in the corner, as I have seen previously. There were no tactical spells presented at all. And I even leveled up magic to level four (it was the only option I chose in the spellbook since there were no tactical spells presented).
are you using a custom sovereign? if so, did you select any of the books of magic? (fire, ice, air, earth)
if not then you have access to the kingdom/empire spells only. that is the only other cause I can think of.
Did you have a sovereign with any elemental spell books? Unless you pick an elemental spell book, I don't believe life/death or enchantment have any tactical spells.
i just said that.
Ahhh, that must be it, I think I forgot to choose one while creating my soverign... Which brings up another question, I looked and didn;t find any way to edit a sovereign once it's been created and saved. Is this true?
How are you with xml?
As a software developer, it's one of those skills I have in abundance. As long as the XML in question is properly documented. I find it kinda odd there's no way in-game to edit a created sovereign... I suppose I'll need to read through some modding discussions to find where the XMLs are at, what's in them, etc... Thanx.
Custom Sovereigns, with a default installation, are in "My Games/Elemental/Units" I believe. (Game not in front of me right now)
When I posted, yours hadn't shown up yet. *shrugs*
If your Sovereign starts out with enchanting ,you may also almost immediately (1-2 turns in) start learning the enchantment spells available.
