Weber) writes: For example, I found that even when you can only build on towns, you can still build when only a knight is on-screen. The computer seems to do this a lot. Also, once the computer flooded, and my leader was left to drown with no settlements nearby. However, even though I could only build on towns, I was able to rescue my leader! Apparently in desparate circumstances the rules are relaxed. So, not only the computer can do these things. More exactly, you always can built one level of land, if at least one of your guys is around. For instance, if you want to send your leader to the com- puter's towns across the water, go ahead. You just have to place the magnet in his land, and keep on building land in front of your leader's feet. But I found out something, the computer can do, and I can't. He seems to be able to remove rocks from volcanos without creating a spot of water. Has anybody found out under wich circumstances one can do that?
