Got to the second phase of the Cultist quest "This is the End" where you have to locate and destroy an enemy unit. The issue is: the unit does not exist! Unlike the other issue with this quest that I found earlier (that the marked unit stays embarked and therefore cannot be killed), in this instance I won the game through other means and then proceeded to blanket the entire map with units so that it was revealed everywhere (converting lots of minor villages and selling the units makes you enough income to do this with only one city). No units, not even in the water!



Anyone else have this issue? Could one of the AI empires have killed that unit (they were still around when I started the quest)?

I had the same issue which I posted about yesterday. I spent 200 turns looking for the independent unit which was supposed to be killed in the Quest "The End of the Beginning". After converting every village, having vision and map exchanges and sending about about 20 search parties I finally got fed up and decided to start a new game thinking that maybe the game just didn't generate the unit. My second game with the cultists; after waiting just a few turns, the roving army actually came to me and I was able to kill it immediately. Still don't know what happened the first time around.

Hello,

This is really weird. I just tried to reproduce the issue and got the army right away, attacking me...

To be precise, this army should spawn in an adjacent region of the one you just conquered, it will have an offensive behavior towards your empire (attack on sight) and it can be killed by anyone in order for you to complete the objective.

In other words, the situation you encounter is clearly a bug.

By any chance, do you have a save of the stuck situation? When you are making the 4th chapter of the Cultists, before or after the second step. It will help us a lot.

Thank you in advance!

Cheers,

Hello,



Luckily I had created a "coward save" before I declared war to initiate that quest =), so I was able to re-load to just before completing the first part. I've created a save that is right before converting the last of the Sisters of Mercy villages in the region (top-right of the map, using the army with the hero attached), after destroying the empire's city in the area. Converting that village and ending the turn should activate the 2nd portion of the quest.



Here is the save file.
