The artefact completes the "channeling" part of a ritual, which for most rituals is the full preparation process of the ritual, in the case of the Summon Vampire ritual, it only completes the first 50% which is usually channeled by cultists so you will still require the 3 sacrifices are normal.

Put simply, with this particular ritual (since it differs from the others), the artefact will get you from 0-50% instantly ready for the sacrifices to be made.

This is because they are considered super units, so for balance reasons you're limited to 1 of each.

This is why I (continue to) say they should have a giant flag (rally flag) poking out of them!

Are the achievements showing as unlocked on steam itself?

The title is there, it just uses a font colour which is almost identical to the background so is hard to see.

Don't seem to be able to see your attached file though.

• Open Steam and go to the Library Tab.
• Right Click "War For the Overworld" and click Properties on the popup window.
• Open the "Updates" tab and you should see the Steam Cloud section at the bottom.

Hopefully that should help you find it.

I could be wrong, but I think the issue here is that by default the game looks on the steam cloud for save games, rather than local ones. So you can try disabling the steam cloud for WFTO (temporarily) and see if the game starts to check local files instead and finds them.

Otherwise, the fact that that the steam cloud was deleted (due to resetting progress) might mean that when you're loading the game and it's syncing with the cloud, steam itself is telling the game that those save files shouldn't be there (and so is deleting or invalidating them some how)

I'd try temporarily disabling the cloud saves via the game properties window on steam.

Hi BT, if you're struggling to find out your second graphics card you could run DxDiag.exe which tells you (and also generates an log you can save too)

To run a DxDiag report follow the steps below:

1. If you are running Windows 7 or higher, go to your TaskBar.
2. Click on, "Start Button".
3. Click on, "Run".
4. In the pop-up window enter DxDiag and hit ok.
5. The DirectX Diagnostic Tool pop-up window should appear.
6. Click on, "Save all information".
7. "Save As" window should be present.
8. Click on, "Save" (The file should be saved to your desktop as DxDiag.txt)
9. Exit the DirectX Diagnostic Tool.

Hope that helps.

(@Cian, don't worry i'm butting out again)

Stefan means: Is it possible that an AI player was activated for your team and was re-tagging the tiles after you deselected them?

@Stefan It looks more like a UI lag issue to me, clicks not registering properly (either getting missed entirely or counting as double clicks and re-selecting areas which have been deselected) but i'm not sure how you'd test for that.

@Mandragon There is a "Previous Build" beta that you can find listed as previousbuild (build number) on the Betas tab of the game settings.
