-With the inferno update, i'm playing a bit with a friend again. However, we do encounter a desync quite regulary. Does anyone know what causes it, or how to prevent it from happen?

-Does difficlty also affects the terrain/resources availibility? Ive put it up one step higher than before, and i really struggle to find enough decent regions. There is a distinct lack of anomalies, and some regions don't even have a single resource in them, even no t3 ones.

I know you can change the frequency, but I would like to keep it on normal

-Im having trouble with the geomancy achievement. Does it needs to be on the same unit? Because I buff a sentinel, make him move to another type of terrain (volcanic-forest-other), but the original buff remains, and buffing him again doesn't increase the timer where it wears off

thanks

- Desync can be Internet speed, I guess... See if changing the player who is hosting the game makes a different experience. If your friend has a better internet connection then it might become more stable.

- Terrain is influenced by the World Generating options (under Advanced options on the New Game panel). You can choose to have abundant anomalies and resources (or scarcity). World size also has an effect on the range of luxury resources available: the bigger the map, the more varied are the resources available.

- The different buffs happens not because the sentinel (the buffered unit) is in different terrain but when the geomancer (the unit that buffs) is in different terrain. So my advice is... Get an army of at least three geomancers and one sentinel. Search for a minor faction situated near volcanic/forest/other terrain and attack it. Make each geomancer go to a different terrain and press Ctrl+Click on the sentinel so that the unit will first move and then buff the sentinel on the right terrain. Make the sentinel stay on hold if you want more control because sometimes he can move to attack and the geomancers will lack the range to buff him.

We play a fair amount of games online together (I also play R6 siege, so I would notice lag). It just seem to happen alot with EL. First 50 turns went fine, but now it looks lite it is every 8 turns or so we have a desync

Its just i see a lot of almost empty provinces with barely any anomalies or even resources. Wasnt like that in my last games before Inferno (a year ago or maybe more)
