Couple beginner questions

[unmerged(363342)]

Hi,

Sorry if these have been asked before, but I didn't find them.

Somebody cast the spell that drains money on me. How do I get rid of it?

How do I know how close I am to winning? I haven't found any charts with victory conditions or any other high level information.

I like the game and it was well worth money, but it seems slightly unfinished. Few hot keys, no charts, things that should be in a game of this type.

Anyway, back to conquering.

Thanks,
Bill

As for the spell: There are several counter- and dispel-spells available in the game, at least one of them should handle your "problem". But as the research system is kinda random you'll have to wait until you get the desired spell.

About the victory conditions:
If you go for the "holy ground" victory, there should be a popup message when someone reaches 25%. Also i think there's another warning shortly before you hit the 50% and win, but i don't know for sure.

The "avatar" victory is easy to check in the "gods wheel" as you have to spoil your relations with a god to -100 (or -99?) and then he'll appear and you must defeat him.

Same for "domination", just check how many other great mages are alive in diplomacy screen and finish them off.

For the "unity spell" victory you have to wait until you've researched all other spells and then unity becomes available to research, but there's nowhere to see how many spells are left to research. Did i forget anything?

Thanks for the reply.

Okay, I have a dispel spell, but where do I cast it? I looked at all my cities and I don't see anything indicating they have something cast on them, other than the spells I cast, and if I cast the spell and go to the diplomatic screen there doesn't seem to be a way to cast?

Thanks again.

If you need/want to cast a spell on city, select the spell and move the cursor over the city/castle on the actual game map. Then click the button. Is this what youre asking for?

There are several different sorts of dispel depending on the type of target. They are listed in the wiki Here at the bottom of the page. Separate dispel spells target units, cities and other GMs and your own GM (on diplomacy screen). It seems the spell you are dealing with is Lunar Thief and that targets your GM, so you need the Global Dispel, which "Dispels one random bane from the Great Mage".

Thanks, I think that answers it.
