Question about the city Hope and its plotline (spoilers)

[IllCaesar]

I can't find the lab for some reason. I have every square except what the Chosen Ones have, and there haven't been any storyline prompts for months. Am I supposed to be knocking over the Chosen Ones in a conventional manner to find it? Or is it just another bug with the storylines not proceeding as they're supposed to?

No bugs, I found it on my second try.It can be frustrating at first.

HINT: Scout the Chosen Ones base

Yeah I'm not liking how you can completely miss a plotline because you're either too efficient or you just have a different priority. I scouted out their base and found nothing. Nada. Guess I'll restart.

Make sure you are scouting with the correct person. Your normal scouts will not find it, but the guy (is it always a guy?) you find running around will.

Yeah I probably wasn't scouting with the right person. Still, it would make logical sense that once you reclaimed the tile the lab is on that you discover the lab, no?

Anyways, I had to restart Hope anyways. Made an alliance with Rotten and Chosen Ones, no option to advance to the next city. Then I defeated both factions, still no option to proceed. The failsafes for proceeding aren't even working, so thats definitely gotta get fixed before the game launches.

Did you beat Hope? If not read below:

There is a guy who should of escaped the lab and tried to come to your fort. Use that guy to scout various places in the Chosen Ones base. There are hints given by the escaped lab subject, remember them because they will tell you where to scout in the Chosen Ones base. Then you will have to figure how you will get into the lab. You can work with the Rotten to take the Chosen Ones down, attack the base by yourself, or turn a significant amount of your population to cultists(Sorry I forget the exact number)

50% of your people have to be cultists in answering to the above poster.
Secondly, it may not even be a lab. I had the guy scout out a graveyard which was the Chosen Ones Headquarters, and he found an adjacent building to be the secret lab. It was a mega mall, but that can probably change. Hope this helps in finding it ;)

Yeah I scouted without using that guy, and even if you have the tile that contains the lab as part of your fort, he won't spot the laboratory. Seems stupid and honestly kind of punitive, as you should be trying to get as much territory as possible as quickly as possible, especially so in this instance as presumably you want the laboratory before the Chosen Ones can claim it for themselves (if they haven't claimed it already).

[Gentlemensgentleman]

A quick FYI, it will only be in the Chosen Ones' Fort(unless you attacked them and took their territory)

I hope this helps.
