Another quest

After spreading it to 8 cities

10 gold? I realize thats per turn, but that didn't really off-set the cost of 8 new cities with the corporation.

And here it is, the Stable Quest rewards. It was a really easy quest as I had 9 or 10 of the 11 required Stables/Gers already build.

For some strange reason, I didn't take a snap of the last option, but I can tell you was "All stables +1 food"

I took the 11 units...

[quote][b]Konrad von Richtmark (2/24/2008)[/b][hr]There is one which requires you to build a certain number of stables. If you finish it, all your stables start generating +1 food! As far as I remember there were some other reward options, probably bonus XP to mounted units.[/quote]

Hi guys,

Just got the Stables Quest that Konrad mentioned. I am Genghis Khan, have horses and already build a few Gers (Mongolian Special Building, which replaces stables).

I'll let you know about the rewards......hopefully-

:-)

Hi guys,

Just wanted to add my bit to the quest thread.

This is from the naval quest which I (obviously) got late in the game. Had to build 5 carriers and 5 destroyer (I think), but the reward was really nice. I unfortunately only took this one screenshot, but you can see the reward option I chose.

Been trying to play a game with the Next War Mod on marathon all the way through in epic.

Finally figured out that Large Terra, with two fewer AI was the trick (seems the AI-human balance is a bit different in the Next War mod).

Anyway I'm playing as Portugese and doing well at about 1100 Pretty soon I'll finish the "Horse Whisperer Quest" which is to build 9 stables.

sorry i meant fighter planes (see above)

RE: The Quest Thread

Timeless Watch — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 09:35:44 GMT

I dont have the screen shots, but there are two quests that i always seem to stumble on

- build an formidable airforce (striker planes), success means either making them stronger or getting attitude bonus from other leads or getting bonus

- build a formidable force of musketeers/granadeers and the same applies - strength or commerce

Ill post screen shots if i get a quest next time i play

Got this one in my GOTM with Brazil.

RE: The Quest Thread

-M- — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 23:29:30 GMT

This is the Classical Literature Quest. It is one of my favorites because it can be given early, quite easy to comeplete & if you controll the Great Library :)

RE: The Quest Thread

-M- — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 05:10:13 GMT

These are also from the same game.

All you need for this event to trigger is to have a library in the city. Nice if it happens early in the game, but later on... blah.

This is one of the annoying ones. They always happen at the worst times.

RE: The Quest Thread

-M- — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 04:58:37 GMT

This is the Castles quest. You have to build X number of castles to complete it before researching Gunpowder or Printing Press I think. I forgot to take the initia screen when the quest is quested bcz I was at war. There was no time to think when you are slugging it out with a human, but for whatever its worth here's when I completed it.

This option is worthless against human opponents.

This is what I chose. Very nice & could be a breaker when pushing into enemy territory.

This one is nice too, but I didnt have the Wall to attach those spy points on :(

This is the effect on one of my Macemen.

RE: The Quest Thread

-M- — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 03:59:43 GMT

These are in the category of miscelanious. They arent that particular great to do game breaking, but still worth a mention.

As it states, you gotta build wall in all your cities for this event to trigger.

This one happens on plains tiles, as far as I have seen. You gotta have a few forrests around the tile too. I do not know if it has to be several forrests, or just 1 adjacent will do enough. River is unnecessary. Yes and you can see Ima winning the war with my longbowmen from hell :P

Nuclearcow — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 02:26:56 GMT

I hadn't seen that before. Cool. I would have taken the general as well. :P

RE: The Quest Thread

-M- — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 14:11:04 GMT

This is a nice one. Have to have monarchy as your governement civic. I was at war for some time at this point, so do not know if that has anything to do with it. I chose the free military instructor option.

RE: The Quest Thread

Nuclearcow — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:14:25 GMT

Random event rather than a quest, but probably appropriate for this thread.

RE: The Quest Thread

-M- — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:35:37 GMT

Build a sizable force of chariots

Requirements:

Must build 7 chariots

Must be completed before Classical Age

Must have a nearby source of horses

Additional reward option is available if you civilization has a state religion if/when you complete the quest.

Rewards:

1. All chariot units recieve Combat I promotion (this includes the ones that you build even long after the quest has been completed)

2. Spread your state religion to 5 cities under your control

This quest is easy to complete. Just slave rush the chariots & you will have it done in a matter of 3-4 turns. I always choose the #1 option. That combat I promotion is useful if you are an early warmonger. You can quickly fold up a civ or 2 with your chariots getting an automatic Combat I & 3xp points from a barracks right out of the gates. Option 2 seems like cool too but I never have more than 2-3 cities or a state religion when I complete this quest.

Leo — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 13:47:36 GMT

The stables quest...one of the other rewards for it is X number of the most advanced cavalry type you can make with X being the number of stables you had to build. I believe Konrad is right, the third reward is bonus xp for stables.

RE: The Quest Thread

GKhan — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 14:03:01 GMT

There are 2 automatic quests that I know of, that have no requirments, you just get the bonus

Compasate Bows - Archer Units start with combat 1

Tower Sheilds - All mele units start with cover(25% vs archers)

The holy mountain seems like a lot of work, for little pay off, I find most of the quests requirements are higher then the rewards

For example if your military says we need this source of copper or iron that is in enemy territory, gives you 4 axemen or swordmen(with no upgrades) Lame reward IMO.

The ones when you have to build 6 units or improvments by a time/date are the better rewards, ussually with a Golden Age as the best reward.

This isn't a quest, but I thought it was amusing.

RE: The Quest Thread

Leo — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 14:09:37 GMT

Good idea!

Don't have a screenshot of it but I had the Crusade one.

Our war against (nation) continues...yadda yadda...our holy leaders have declared this to be a Crusade and wish you to take the Holy City of...wherever it is...

If you take the city before the war ends, they give you a choice of the Holy Building for that religion, a number of defensive units of the highest kind you can make in that city, or a number of cities having that religion spread to it.

RE: The Quest Thread

Scipio Africanus — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 08:45:59 GMT

Great idea for a thread. I had that Holy Mountain one in a previous life. Seems like I finished it and all religious structures gave +1 commerce.

mongoose201 — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 19:50:24 GMT

I thought I would post a thread for any interesting quests that pop up during the game. If you come across one, take a screen shot and let us know what the bonus is if you complete the quest. If your quest ends up being a failure, post it here and perhaps someone will know what the bonus is from one of their previous games...

---

I was test playing the upcoming March GOTM when this quest pops up:

Sounds interesting, especially on a large map... Unfortunately, about 40 turns later, I was advised that I had failed the quest, so the peak must have been right next to a rival..

Has anyone completed this one, and if so, what's the bonus you get for completing it?
