Goblin Tavern?

[BONG JAGUAR SHART COMMANDER]

So there's supposed to be a goblin recruitment event when you hit 50 loyalty with the Spirit Talkers, but I've never had it appear. I also reach a point where I cant get any more quests from the goblins no matter how long I wait very quickly. Anyone know why that is?

thanks for letting me know, I found the issue and did a fix on it that should make it available now. there should be a hotfix coming soon that will implement it. What happened now is that a there was a recruitment tag attached to the whole tavern as well as to the recruitment path, and so every time you entered the tavern the recruitment got blocked.

As for faction quests, there is a limit to how many you get in each village, so it is likely you hit the max quests for that one.

I see. Well, the thing was I capped out on quests around 43 standing and at that point you can no longer do the spirit challenge to increase Spirit Talker loyalty. Also, giving resources to the goblins netted me no loyalty gain in addition to being insanely expensive (all items are valued at 1). Considering how donating resources works for other factions, I suspect its not working as intended.

Thank you for the response!

you gain 3 loyalty every time you give resources to the spirit talkers (i've lowered the price slightly as per your feedback), you also get loyalty from other quests on that biome, like ruins and cemeteries. You can get loyalty from roaming units and also if you have a second spirit talker town, you can get more quests from them too.

We will also look into the balance on gaining loyalty, so there may be some changes to come as well.

Wait, you can have a second Spirit Talker town spawn? Is this on large maps only? Is it something that happens over time, or only randomly generated at the start of the game?

I am afraid it is rng for the second town and it is generated at start, so you should be able to get it on an island, but not guaranteed. I am actually investigating this as I don't think I got a second faction town yet, but then I saw folk talk about them on discord, so it is likely my luck.

Even in alpha with the display of gain/loss of loyalty there is no display that i gained loyalty when giving stone or metal to the goblin (i don't remember getting it for other factions either).
The code of the event seems right (unless i looked at the wrong town), so it's probably just the display that is wrong?

I never got another town for a faction, and i'm not sure i even got a medium goblin town. Maybe the chances are too low ?

I have an issue with goblins as well, my reputation path ends with the night elves group that you need to deal with every time, & once i finish that quest ( I tried force & magic option) i cannot get any more quest & can no longer try to get reputation point by talking with the roaming group factions ( i can only fight or intimidate them, no more magic option). I'm pretty sure something fishy is going on there ! It happened to me on multiple games always at the same dark elves quest.

it turns out only a small goblin town was spawning, and small towns indeed give less loyalty. the proper town will come with the next patch.

Oh ok, good to know. Thanks for the quick response & I hope that your work on the next patch is going well, can't wait to try it.
