* | * There is a turn limit in the Astral. It's 50-90 turns, depending on the difficulty level. Not Shard turns, mind you - you can take your time with those and the conquest of an entire shard still takes just 1 Astral turn. But run out of Astral turns and it's an instant Bad End. | ||
* Karma (alignment) is quite important in this game and affects stuff like master reactions, race relations, and unit choice (if you're a do-gooder you'll have huge morale problems when using evil warlocks and vice versa). It's also affected by lots of things - e.g. making a Healer building (Good-aligned unit) gives a karma bonus, casting a Raise Skeleton spell in battle or making a deal with a brigand province guard gives a karma penalty, even stuff like attitude of your dialogue responses to random events can affect your karma despite having no other mechanical effects. Higher karma isn't automatically better, but it's useful to pick either good or evil and stick to it. | * Karma (alignment) is quite important in this game and affects stuff like master reactions, race relations, and unit choice (if you're a do-gooder you'll have huge morale problems when using evil warlocks and vice versa).

* When conquering shards, keep an eye out for random events that tell you something about the shard populace finding an artifact and (this is the important part) sending it to the Astral. When you get one, ask Zarr (and/or other masters) about it. | * When conquering shards, keep an eye out for random events that tell you something about the shard populace finding an artifact and (this is the important part) sending it to the Astral.
