Re: Silent Seas AAR
 

Turn 43
Another quiet month. The only news is that my researchers, working round the clock, made another breakthrough in summoning spells. Now I can call for the assistance of a Siddha, who apparently is a powerful priest as well as mage. I am hoping that Siddhas are powerful enough to mass bless troops. I will be summoning one to find out.

I did a census of all troops and found that I have 82 armoured Bandar, 223 Yavanas, 26 Gandharvas, and 8 Apsaras. I am planning my invasion armies to have 20 Bandar or Gandharvas in the center, with a total of 80 Yavanas on the wings, in 4 groups of 20 each. Each should be led by a Yaksha, a Yakshini, and hopefully a Siddha (if they are as effective as priests as I hope). All commanders should be equipped with basic survival equipment (missile protection, etc.)

I have directed my researchers towards more magical item research, and to discover some basic spells for finding magical sites, so that I do not need to send out searchers.

I also am thinking about taking some of these sea provinces - good for more income, and for intelligence on my opponents.

Behold the Siddha!

This guy is impressive: A powerful priest and mage indeed, and up to five attacks. Most impressive, he can move anywhere on the map instantly!

I'm sending this guy site-searching, in hopes of increasing my astral pearl income, so that I can recruit more like him. I am also going myself to the coast, with some trusted Gandharvas, to start conquering the sea.

Re: Silent Seas AAR
 

Hm this Siddha is a very powerful unit indeed.

Re: Silent Seas AAR
 

I *like* that unit. :-D

Now who is complaining that life drain can only give you 5 life? If one could acquire 4 life draining weapons....

=$=

Re: Silent Seas AAR
 

Even two wraithsword would be pretty impressive, especially combined with regen and high protection... (Pretty much everything is better when combined with high protection and regen though, so thats not saying much.) OT question: Are the Ape-races unusual, or does dom3 include a LOT more units with awe?

Re: Silent Seas AAR
 

Just to add my voice to the cacophony that I've really been enjoying your AAR, St. Patrick.

Re: Silent Seas AAR
 

Wow you indeed have quite some talent in AAR writing then imho http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Re: Silent Seas AAR
 

Yeah, I absolutely agree. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Re: Silent Seas AAR
 

The Siddha looks very good. how much did it cost? How much research it requires?

National, Conj. 7, S4, 35 pearls.
There's Summon Devata at Conj. 8, S5, 45 pearls. While Summon Siddha says that they are powerful priests and mages, Devatas should be powerful priests, mages AND warriors.
