Question about Lemuria freespawn

[Buddahxx]

Does fort size matter? I can't really seem to see a difference between what my palisades are making and what my castles are making.

Loggy did a freespawn analysis and here are the stats for Lemuria:

[/quote]Getting this was difficult because the compiler tied this in knots. There might be mistakes somewhere along the lines…

Requires friendly dom
Requires something else to do with province ownership
Something = (closed d2 - 1 + candles)/2 rounded down
If you have a temple, something = (closed d4 - 1 + candles) / 4 rounded down
If there is a fort, add a closed d4 to the something
The something is the number of spawn attempts, if 0 or negative then don't do anything.
For each spawn attempt:
If there is a temple
85% chance if this is your cap: index = closed d3 + 19
Otherwise, 85% chance or guaranteed if there is no fort: closed d6 - 1
All other cases: closed d3 + 19
5% chance to use index 40 regardless of the above
If there is no temple, always use index 0
If index = 0: Turns up to 1 corpse into a dispossessed spirit. Has a 25% chance to use armed corpses in preference to unarmed
If index is 1 or 2: On land, spawns a Shadow Soldier. Underwater, gives a Shadow Triton or an atlantean Shadow Soldier at equal chances
If index is 3: 60% Shade, 40% Shade Beast
If index is 4: Ghost
If index is 5: If 0 population, nothing happens. Otherwise, make 1 apparition, and kill 100 population
If index is 20 or 21:
There is a (fort's commander point bonus * 2 + 8)% chance:
There is a (2 * (number of candles - 5))% chance that you get 2d3 Spectral Lictors
Otherwise, you get a Spectral Standard and…
A 20% chance for openended d5 + (commander point bonus - 1) Spectral Principe
Otherwise, a 15% chance for openended d5 + (commander point bonus - 1) Spectral Triarius
Otherwise, a 10% chance for openended d5 + (commander point bonus - 1) Praetorian Spectre
Otherwise, openended d5 + (commander point bonus - 1) Spectral Principe
Otherwise: openended d5 + (commander point bonus - 1) Spectral Hastatus
If index is 22, openended d6 Spectral Velites
If index is 40, 50% chance if there is a lab for a Lemur Acolyte, otherwise a Shadow Tribune
If index is any other value (which in theory is impossible), the spawn attempt fails[/quote]

It's from Dominion 5, but is probably still accurate.
Here is the original:

Might be easier to read it there as Steam often screws with formatting.

Answer: Fort level seems to only have one effect, and that is the amount of Spectral Lictors you get scales with fort commander point bonus. All the other spawns seems to be unaffected.

Thanks, guess that makes sense.

Doesn't that link say that all the spectral roman troops benefit from a commander point bonus if it is more than 1? Not sure if that means only citadels, with a commander point bonus of 2, help or if he meant the total commander points need to be above 1. But I am guessing bonus means bonus, not total.

Edit: Oh, the chance of both lictors and roman troops seems to be affected by the commander point bonus as well. Looks like any commander point bonus at all helps here, so forts and castles are better than palisades for this and citadels are better still.
If I am reading it correctly.

Ah, you are probably right. I somehow missed that.

Also, I think I have read the sequencing wrong and the "(fort's commander point bonus * 2 + 8)% chance" applies to all your Spectral Legion units that are not Spectral Hastatus.
