How are you charging your handle bars on the Zwift ride package? I still haven't finished setting mine up, and I've read how they didn't give you a power block for various reasons, but the length of the cord seems problematic. I can only imagine having an extension cord by the center of my bike because the cord doesn't reach to the back. I worry that's going to be a sweat issue on the electrical. Do people buy some kind of female to male USB extension cord so you can run the cord behind the bike out of the way? Or is there something I'm missing?

Do you really need a city to bind the landmarks or can you use a combination of outposts? I got lucky and was able to bind the first with one city, but I screwed up and didn't save a city slot for the second. So now I'm about to try using two outposts but I think that won't work and instead I need to pay the imperium and try to fast track a 4th city in under 10 turns.

I'm tempted to just say screw it and go after Symon to end it.

The Question

In the Azh'Ruun Pit story realm I was given a quest to meet Liztia. I'm not sure if this is the same for everyone, but I was on the left lower side of the map and Liztia is on the right side of the chains. I started underground but after maybe 80+ turns I cannot see a path to meet Liztia. The chain rulers block the underground. Lava dominates the upper area.

Is there a trick to meet her? Is this not something you're supposed to try to do ASAP?

Rant

If I'm not supposed to try and accomplish an objective in a story realm at the start, why would you even display it at the start?

If you want me to reach a section of the map because of my actions, why would you make it seem impossible to do so with terrain and enemies that seemingly need to be eliminated first, but also seem to be related the mission timeline you're trying to guide me to?

Has anyone else noticed lag issues when loading options in the forge or scrolling through the list? The game performs pretty good on my PC but I couldn't help but notice this issue. I can't figure out why loading a list of text messages would be an issue. Perhaps there's a bug in the code or maybe it's just me.

I need advice on how to defeat an AI that is thrashing me. I'm playing a nomad nature build has Gaia's Chosen so it is heavy on plant and animals. Ydgaard Worldbender is the AI and his Pyre Templars are thrashing me with the fire damage and Cleansing Flames, and the Golden Golems are hitting Golden Curse almost all the time. Here are some of the tome ideas I have available. Looking for advice on how to finally turn the tide going up against stacks of tier 4s and 5s. I'm hoping to finish this long battle and play the new DLC.

Tome of Cleansing Flame - This feels like "if you can't beat them, join them". From what I read, the Pyreshire would give all my existing units Faithful [Edit - now I read it does NOT so this isn't such a great idea] and nullify Cleansing Flames. The Pyre Templars might help my roster too. Pureflame Staves and Flame Blessed Champions should also help.

Tome of Severing - I never played this tome but the Severing Golem might help with status protection and the Disrupting Blades might help disable the effects on the enemy.

Tome of Prosperity - Fits theme and Blessed Armors, Staves of Grace, and the Prosperity Dragon might help combat the negative status effects. But I don't think it could keep up with Cleansing Flames.

Tome of Cycles - Fits theme, and Blooming Imbuement sounds useful with Life Seed. Blades of Decay might help. The Druid of the Cycle never impressed me but maybe it would help.

Tome of Nature's Wrath - Fits the theme but I can only see Frenzying Imbuement and Destructive Regrowth being somewhat useful.

Tome of Geomancy - Getting rid of bleeding would help, and Resonant Weapons sounds interesting, but not sure this will help much.

Tome of Chaos Channeling - I don't have the affinity to pick up the fire immunity.

Tome of the Archon - Not enough affinity to pick up.

[Edit] Tome of Stormborne - Lightning Storm and Stormbringer might help with several construct type units the AI is throwing at me since they have -2 lightning, but I don't see anything else useful. The AI is underground so Downpour isn't viable and I already have a major transformation.

[Edit] Tome of Zeal - Should fix the Cleansing Flame issue for many of my units but offers little else. But that would open Tome of Sanctuary later.

[Edit] Tome of Sanctuary - Would help but I only have 2 order affinity.

Let me know if I should provide more background info.

Was there any mention of Reaver was spoil changes that I missed? Seems like one of the big drawbacks was not having any options for passive generation of war spoils and I didn't find that the next release will change that.
