I also don't know why it says I have no world listed, I selected Noarsil the last time I posted but it never shows up. (Sorry for the weird formatting but I don't know how to do paragraph breaks.) This is the first time since the tutorial that I've come across a quest with no peaceful alternative, so I'm stuck.

I do wish for every storyline quest that involves fighting, there would be a peaceful alternative presented as well. And my fighting skills would STILL suck-no guarantee I'd win.Īm I forced then to just let this quest sit and never get finished? Does it disappear eventually, or will I HAVE to finish it at some point? If the latter.how?įYI, I'm in the High Middle Ages the giver of the quest is Hasdrubaal Barkas and the sectors I have to choose from are Canturia, Veletrites, Frathia, or Tarmelmann (though I think Barkas intends for me to conquer Tarmelmann). (My automated city defense is better at fighting than I am.) I stopped fighting for sectors as soon as I was able to start producing goods for trade (around the time the tutorial ended) I've traded for each sector ever since, even if it takes a long while to acquire the necessary goods.Īnd temporarily building new military barracks and recruiting more, updated fighters would be a huge waste of my limited resources I'd need to increase my population, and probably build more cultural buildings to boot, just to do that. I have a handful of unattached units I've won in other quests, but none of my units are capable of going up against the sectors I have to choose from (they're all from former ages, or don't have bonuses the enemy has), and even if they were, my fighting skills are horrible. And seeing as I devote most of my (pretty limited) resources to trade and not fighting, I can afford only the minimum when it comes to troops, in my case a single berserker barracks. I'm being asked to either acquire a sector by force, or to plunder one of my neighbors. I've finally come upon a storyline quest that I can neither abort nor accomplish.
