Ambassador quests question

Playing as Egy, I am not sure if the Ambassador quests are working right. In the last version of the beta, playing as Greek, just after completing the initial quest I was given a set of several quests as a lower level player- these all had in common that they were repeatable, they had no loot chests, some had a mish-mash of Greek and Egy units, and there were different levels of basically the same quests. After you got to a certain level, it did not repeat as the same quest but as a more difficult version with a slightly different name.

Now I am level 15 as Egy and the only Ambassador quest (after completing the 'talk to the Ambassador stuff')I have seen is the repeatableone where you defend your neighbors city and have to defeat the waves of enemy before they raze the palace, with various different units each time. Am I missing something or is this the only one now? Or are there more at higher levels now?

|||You're right. It's the only ambassador quest available to me also. It looks like they took out the other ambassador quests. I'm close to level 40 and this is still the only ambassador quest available, so it shouldn't be a capital city level issue.
|||dejavunl88 - are you Egy also? Is it different for the Greeks?|||I'm close to 40 with my Greek civ. The ambassador quests are the same for both civs.

Is the ambassador quest repeatable? I've only seen it once and when I've gone back to visit a city, I don't see any quests available (I'm level 17 Greek).

Is it only available in cities from your friends' list or any city that you visit? perhaps I only went to visit non-friends city's after the fact.

I'll have to check again.

It's only available in cities from your friends list.

i figured it out this ambassador quest is working:

it looks like its only possible trhat you visit a eggy city and make the quest if you re greek. but if you are eggy you have to visit a greek city,

You can't use the /visit command. You have to use the GUI. It works for both Greeks and Egyptians. You can do it once as Greeks and once as Egyptians each day (twice a day). It is the same quest each time, just with different starting units. You dont have to be egyptian and visit a greek and vice versa.

What I found odd is that as a Greek Civ, I tried to visit another Greek civ (from my friend's list) to view the quest, but I could not see an ambassador. I then went to another friend who had an Eggy Civ and saw the ambassador. I've noticed this twice now. I don't know if its a bug or not, but I've definitely experienced it.

I use the visit command all the time and find the ambassador quest. I was not aware of the Egy/Greek difference - will check for it.

|||Mine must be bugged. Whenever I use the /visit the ambassador doesn't appear. If I /visit and actually visit, then use the GUI when Im already there it appears.

RE: How many quests should there be on the Ambassador in a friend's city?

Right now, there is only the one quest, "Neighborly Defense." Which if you have not noticed yet, should be very different each time you play (we assemble a unique starting force for the player, and sometimes even throw in a few extra challenges for you to "siege away"). We had more Ambassador quests in the beta, some of which are still banked for future use, some which were incorporated into the High level content that is now Cyprus.

RE: is the /visit command working as intended?

Not sure, I'll pass that along to the test team.

Oh and feel free to post suggestions for future friends quests The requirements for friends quests are: must be playable, fun, and fair for all civs and all player levels. They need to thematically involve something you could do to assist your friend. And, typically they should also be under 10 minutes to complete. (They pose a pretty fun design challenge!)
