So I've been having a blast with this game but have a few questions I haven't figured out on my own or found searching the forums. So if someone with this knowledge would enlighten me I would be most appreciative
General:
1. If I do not settle directly next to a river/woods I cannot build piers/logging camps even if I expand to them later. Is this working as intended or a bug that will (hopefully) get fixed?
2. Is there a setting to extend the turn limit? I like palying on Epic speed with rlane's huge maps...I may or may not run out of time (or even get bored with the game and start a new one...) but I would like to up the turn count just in case. I've checked all the .ini files I can find but haven't found the setting.
3. Another "working as intended?" question. I noticed Tireless March stacks (i.e. +1 move for each unit with the enchantment in the army). Is this right or something a bug to be fixed?
4. Sometimes I am unable to build world enchantments even with the prerequisites. I am assuming that this means an a.i. somewhere is in the middle of constructing one. Am I correct?
5. How do you raze cities? I generally turtle up so for the most part I don't want to keep cities I capture. I saw somewhere that you either need a tech advance or simply press 'x' over the city. However I can't find the tech and sometimes pressing x works and sometime it doesn't...
Map Making:
6. The map editor does not seem to work for me. I try to change things and nothing seems to happen. I am on an older system (2~3 years old) and, again, running huge maps. Am I just taxing the processing power and slowing it down? Smaller maps don't generaly seem to work any better for me...
7. Is there a way to modify Grain/Materials/Essence? I can't find any tool to edit them beyond what is normally generated.
8. Is using custom maps broken? I try to make one and load it but it just generates a random one instead of the one I made.
Modding:
7. I haven't checked too closely but is there any way to keep the a.i. from using quests/notable locations? I realize this is borderline/blatent cheating but I like to adventure and discover these myself...as long as there isn't mutliplayer I don't think this is a huge deal...
8. Is there any way to increase the quality of loot? It doesn't seem to be level dependant. Am I wrong? I'm just tired of clearing out monsters just to find *another* leather curiass...
Apologies if these have been asked be for or been posted elsewhere. I did search and came up empty on these subjects as well as check the sticked FAQ's...though I may still have missed some of these...
