I remember reading about hiring emm. when influence is 8 stating that you can hire emm. if U got the gold. Anyone able to find that thread?

Unfortunately, that does not work. I found out the hard way. You will receive an error that states:

ORDER # 510 WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH INFLUENCE TO EXECUTE THIS ORDER.

Well, I programmed the order checker program for order 510 to only check for the gold cost if the new hire causes your influence to drop below the minimum for your kingdom (i.e. 11 for DE and 8 for everyone else). So if your influence was at 8.2 and hired a governor (normally a 0.3 influence drop), your influence would stay at 8.2 without any losses from the order.

If this has changed then I'll have to make a fix but here's the original thread from Cipher: http://kingdomsofarcania.net/forum/showt...9#pid14919

Thanks for the heads up. I can confirm that there is perhaps a bug for that function (in the game not the program) given that the original thread stated it was changed Sep 13 2013, and it failed for me on May 16 2014 (GI t21 g128).

BTW: The online submission tool is great! Love it!
