How's your singing voice Kilo?
I think I might have to raid a human school and send a party of choristers to 'investigate' the HoC.

My scouts have returned from the Altars of High sacrifice surrounding the heart..they have discovered nothing except the numbers of resource or monsters lurking in their depths. I have sent spies to investigate these same Altars. Perhaps this will produce different results. I have also sent spies into the heart itself. Only volunteers were accepted for this mission as it is believed they will never return.
Our hopes go with them.

i i am curious trough ...
will this new trend, the "hey lets find out some more stuff about the HOC!" aka feeding the abomination, have any results?
the thing i look forward the most is how much will it grow this time before people stop feeding it??

what I'm curious to know is exactly WHY Kilo doesn't want us snooping around the HoC...
What are you hiding Kilo???!

I was wondering how long it would be before someone else went down the same thought path on it as I had as opposed to 'Lets keep sending stuff at it and see how large it gets.'

It's obviously something to do with elementals, so I might try Tord's idea

I don't think it's to do with elementals for a couple of reasons.
1. elementals were released quite a while after HoC.
2. 99%+ of people don't have access to elementals... I'm pretty sure SC/TC wouldn't write code that is available to less than 1% of their community.

As I understand it Creat, you can still obtain elementals by positioning armies at the tournament squares and have them smashed to bits by others - I think it was mentioned somewhere in the aftermath of the tournament, but I cant be bothered to look for it right now.
Incidentially, the HoC was indeed released earlier than elementals, but the herald article about a lost expedition in Kumala was added a short while after the tourney so maybe it has just taken a long time to go live. When you do send an elemental to the HoC, you will get a "unique" message about the elementals being resistant to the corruption, hence the troop survives to make it back, but so far no one has been able to utilise that in a meaningful way.

I have never heard/read anything about this further ability to gain elementals - and I do tend to try and read all the announcements and everything SC/TC post.
Does anyone have a specific example of an elemental they have gained since the tournament ended?
edit: has anyone with all 4 types of elemental [I assme there are less than 5 of you in the entire population?] tried to send all 4 elementals to the HoC in one army to investigate? Just out of interest...
edit: perhaps LOLLOLLOL knows something... he holds 6 tourny squares at the moment...
edit: I still believe elementals are NOT the key to the HoC mystery though... I'm persuing some different lines of inquirey myself at the moment - and await the results of others' investigations with interest aswell.
