How to Purge Gnomes

If you want to use gnomes early but get rid of them later this is how you can do it.

How to PURGE

1. Become infested by gnome scum
2. Satisfy conditions for other races
3. Gather the goons (Get rogues)
4. Remove autorepair for the hovels
5. Flag the hovels ONE AT A TIME with an attack flag (If you have a lot of royal gardens or statues this will eventually not work) 100g is fine
6. Remove the flags at around 15-20 health left on the hovel
7. Once 2/3 hovels have been downed to 15-20 health let the third one finish being destroyed. As this is happening flag the first 2 again
8. Once the hovels are destroyed build an elven bungalow or a dwarven settlement and no more hovels will spawn

If you still want to keep a few indentured servants then you can get rid of your weaker gnomes and keep a few in an outpost.

If only genocide was just a built in feature.

These kind of back-stabbing rulers will lead to the eventual gnome uprising!
And after they build larger and more populous communities faster than your kingdoms could possibly build, they will soon begin building armies of champion gnomes armed with powerfully engineered, mobile crew served weapons! Your city will burn! Your "heroes" will die!

[Mosley was right]

The Gnome will tell you he has been attacked, but never why. XD

A few thunderbolts to each hovel takes them out pretty quick. I do like to keep some in an embassy or outpost.

With unlimited gnomes I hate them a bit less. With the swarm mod I use the hovels as valuable buffer space between me and the next horde. Works fantastic.

Another and probably easier but more slightly more expensive way to get rid of Gnomes and their hovels quickly is to get a level 2 Wizards Guild. Then make sure all the Gnome structures are in range of it's spell casting either from the main Guild hall or through the Wizard hands that extend the range of your spell casting. Once they are use the Wizard Spell "Lighting Strike" to damage and destroy all of the Gnome hovels before they can be repaired. If you do it correctly and get all of them first time around it should cost around 3-4k in money to make sure all of them are destroyed. Been using this strategy for years because Gnomes are practically mandatory early on for most of the harder missions due to their high repair abilities and keeping your buildings alive.
