Hero dig for treasure not working?

[Ronin75]

When my lord digs for treasure I get a message if nothing was found. When trying the same with a hero, I do not get any message. So far I have never found anything with a hero, only lords. Is the option dig for treasure actually woring correctly on heros. It worries me that I do not get any messsage and I simply dig for nothing all the time/

Wait are you actually digging for treasure in the right place? Unless you're digging where the clue shows you, you don't get treasures you only have a chance to find a new map that will show you where a treasure is.

Don't you get a message if you dig at the wrong place? With my lord I get a pop up messages along the line we digged all day but found nothing. If I do this with my hero I do not get any message pop up. Or do heros only dig for new maps? I am confused now.

[Kinja]

No, why would you? You're just told there's nothing there. You can dig anywhere, with Lords/heroes for either the treasure, if it's in the right location, or a chance at getting a map. That's how i think it works anyway after a couple hours of playing. The lack of a pop-up for a hero might be a bug tho, i haven't tried digging with one yet.

Do you just have to be in the right province, or is it specific to a particular pin point within a region? I can't seem to get it to work, and I am pretty sure I'm in the right region.

And since you can stay in the stance, should I just set my lord or army to dig indefinitely until they find it?

My heroes get a pop up that they dug the right place, but I dont get any freaking reward, its so damn irretating, I hope they fix this... Glad I'm not the only one with the issue...

I left my hero digging in Pox Marsh for a number of turns with no results. Then I moved him just just the West of the settlement and started digging again. I immediately got the popup saying he found the treasure. I'm not totally sure but from this it would appear that you do need to pinpoint the exact location and dig there. If you don't get the popup right away, you might as well move him and try elsewhere.

There are specific locations on the map you need to be as close as possible too. The clue will focus on the right region if you click the magnifying glass in the map log, but you need to figure out the spot by yourself from the clue. For example there is one about dangerous fauna, and in that region there was a little feral dinosaur. Got close to him, dug, and it gave me the reward.

Check the quest log if you want an idea of the value of the reward, e.g. miserly is barely worth it, and dump it if it isn't worth the effort since you can only have 6 maps at a time.
