Re: I have never won a sp game...
 

Oh but I disagree, horror marking your god or prophet can be fun, and gives you something to do once you've stomped the AI and are experimenting. I'm trying to capture Ashen Angels and horrors. Problem is my arch angel and his guards kill them too quickly to to capture. I horror marked my PG (all 12+, natural, no wishes) because my cyclops looked so cool in the robe of the magi. I'm trying to find the right spell setup to capture the buggers. Wow, to have an army of AAs and Horrors! Unfortunately I've reduced my remaining AI opponent to the stoneage so I'll have to build him up so I can have fun with him again.

Re: I have never won a sp game...
 

you can't capture them

I've tried, they disappear after combat, even if you hellbind heart them. Might work with enslave mind, (be sure to have lots of penetration gear)

You can wish for them, however. even wished for horrors have something like a 10% chance of dissapearing after combat, from my experience.

Re: I have never won a sp game...
 

wishing for a doom horror is fun (or king of the world if you dont like bad events) as is wishing for combat pretenders.

Re: I have never won a sp game...
 

Fallen Angels are somewhat similar to the Ashen ones... and there's always R'lyeh and the Void Gate. Vastness is another nastty bugger.

EDIT: Replaced Voidness with Vastness. Thanks for pointing it out, shovah!

Re: I have never won a sp game...
 

by voidness do you mean vastness? if so yes he rocks (especially with gift of reason cause then he has 2 misc slots)

Re: I have never won a sp game...
 

a vastness is quite nearly a doom horror, but without the barbarian invasions

Re: I have never won a sp game...
 

Bad Events?

Re: I have never won a sp game...
 

Doom Horrors live up to their name... Whereever one is, bad events can occur. They do it on their own, regardless of your fortune/misfortune setting.

Re: I have never won a sp game...
 

just dont summon them near a big cursable army

Re: I have never won a sp game...
 

A big army is fine, since it only curses a few of your troops. A small army would be more problematic, but if you can manufacture doom horrors, then you can also get fairy queens or the chalice, and your SCs will end up cursed anyways.
