Primal Forest

[HotNifeThruButr]

I've just taken over a province with 50+ enemies. One of them was a Great Mother, like the Pretender, another was the Lord of Fertility. I think it's a bug, but the Lord of Fertility was naked, I mean butt naked, without even a fig leaf to cover himself (vile little man) and there was a site called Primal Forest in said province. Supposedly, you could enter it with a nature mage and summon Hama Dryads, but when I tried to with a Pan, it didn't give me the enter site option. Okay, maybe I need a lab, since enter site is a magicky dealy, so I build one... and still no hama dryads.

So, could anyone explain the nudity and lack of hama dryads? (at least I got a nifty Summer Sword and Ivy Crown)

There is a nude Version of that god in the monster file. There are quite a few monsters in the file which are not seen in the game much or not at all. What map was this? Sounds like one of mine. I sprinkle random monsters all over the maps and things can show up that you would never see otherwise.

Not sure about the hama Dryad thing.

It was Aran, not a mod map.

The site: "The Primal Forest" is bugged. It does not allow nature mages to enter (furthermore, it does not allow any mages to enter; just checked to see if it had a wrong flag set)

There are a few sets of special independant armies that might occupy a province in stead of the normal ones. The great mother and friends is one of those, others are the hero Solaris, a cyclops with a unique forge-bonus hammer, some special sorceress I think.

Most of these have some unique item that is otherwise only accessible by wishing. They can be a fun challenge to beat.

Yes, I've seen them appear several times, but very rarely. It really adds fun factor to the game.
