Can't activate "great illuminati pyramid"

[qhenubaal]

Doing one of the missions I had to "reach" one of the great pyramids. *check*.
Then my mission changed to "activate the shield". Which i can't. I can only clean up the tiles with the pyramid and don't have any other function.
Might be a noob prob. If so, sorry.

Hi qhenubaal, I just tried to activate a great pyramide in free play and that worked. You have to load the pyramide with 8 gaian energy ( blue fires on the top of the building ). You can do so by settling down believers around the construct ( building districts next to it ) or by sacrificing stuff at the pyramide ( icon with the firebowl ). Let me know if it works in the mission and if you played through the whole campaign without noticing the gaian constructs and how they work. because then might need to be explained better...

Thank you very much,
That solved my problem. I think the descriptions are fine, it might just have been my fault.
I'm really enjoying the game btw.
Kind regards

I cant reach either of the pyramids, because they are in someone else's territory. Ive bombarded one of the players, but the pyramid caught fire, it might not survive.

I replayed the last mission and had a similar experience as the first playthrough. But after a few moments I realised I had been trying to activate a "ruined" great illuminati pyramid. Found no way to rebuild it, so bought another landing permit from the tech dealer put up a new colony next to the other great pyramid and forced the second pyramid into my territory with a couple of frontier towers that stole the surrinding area from my ally who had occupied it before. It felt somewhat wrong to steal friendly territory just to reach the great pyramid, but alas it was for the greater good :D.

Yeah that's a bug due to changes we made to gaia constructs in general, neither should it be burnable, nor should it be restricted by your allies. Will be fixed soon...

So, the big Illuminati pyramid is no longer destroyable, so this should not happen again.

It would be interesting to see which of the other companies expanded and took over the pyramid. Do you have a savegame of this that you can send to [e-mail]?
