Default Two quick questions. (And a bonus niefel jarl!)

Two brief newbie questions, if you all don't mind.

First, is there a way to search for a specific commander outside of F1 and scrolling through the province list? I'm playing a Niefelheim game, and have something like 50 Niefel Jarls (vs. AI, I decided to expand slowly but rather easily with a triple blessed 10 W/E/N and abysmal scales. Lots of fun, though).

Second, is there a way to transfer more than one gem/blood slave at the same time? I have 5 provinces set up for blood hunting at the moment, and my clicking finger is getting tired. Something like the shift-click on recruiting would be fantastic.

As a bonus, here's a screenshot of my prophet. Bwahaha! (I forgot to finish kitting him out since I got Const 6 and gem income; I prophetised him earlier on and he didn't need much equip. Next turn he'll be even more awesome) Worth noting that he's in a cold 3, dom 9 province, so he has a +129 dominion bonus to his HP, and probably a large hp/stat bonus from cold power (how does that work exactly? Can I find the stats for cold power somewhere?). Plus the rime hauberk in cold 3... Still, he's Prot 33, Def 42, with 5 reinvig and 77 regen.

I'm going to throw him messenger boots and a ring of regen, MR ammy, and lucky shield. Horror helm, as I can't think of something I'd rather have. He's going to be semi-unkillable. Maybe Starshine skullcap would be better than the horror helm...his stats include a +4 dom bonus to his MR, and +1 from drain.

No way to find a specific commander. I use 'n' to cycle through those without orders, but if you're looking for that one mage with a particular random combination F1 (with renaming to mark the interesting ones) is probably the best way.

If you've got a lab in the hunting province, you can use Ctrl-Z. If you're using scouts to ferry slaves to labs, you're out of luck.

You dont need to rename, F1 shows the paths of each commander on the right hand side.

TheJeff, WingedDog; thanks! I have that in one of my provinces. It'll be really helpful.

ssj; . I know. Still, vs. AI it's easy to do fun things like that. *shrug* I have lots of fun overrunning poor MA Ulm with the giants, though. *STOMP* Next up; Kailasa. It'll be interesting to see 6 Niefel Jarls vs. a 350 monkey army. I'm predicting lots of dead monkeys. Even if they have monkey PD.

I'm also amused; resurrecting dead heroes from the HoF is awesome when they have unequaled obesity. Normally a rough booby trap of a trait, if you are a 0=enc undead...less of a problem. I'm still not sure what to do with mummies, though.

A skullface would be better than horror helm so he can cast soul vortex.

You don't need a skullface for that, just give him a death gem. Although I admit a skullface is logically simpler, at one death gem per combat it takes a lot of combats to make the skullface cheaper.

Incidentally, does Soul Vortex work on undead? I've never tried.
