Re: Introduce yourself!! :-)
 

Ah, I thought that I am the only one who never got into the MP scene here becuase of the TCP/IP games with my friends. We have a nice little Doms 2. "fanclub" with 21 active players at the moment. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
lol eh..I just realized that I am the only active member on the forum from our little fanclub. Well my 2 brothers were active on this forum a long time ago...
Anyways welcome back Unwise! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Re: Introduce yourself!! :-)
 

Well, I'm an official Dom II newbie, downloaded the demo and just got my shorts handed to me (3 times). 4th game went better till I found out just how far back magically I had become, etc ...
I see where a lot of people could really get into this, after I purchase the game, I plan on showing Dom 3 to my friends and in a few months maybe one of them will be introducing himself here.
All I needed was another addictive game (I was sooo close to solving that world peace problem) and The Dominions line looks to fill that need for quite some time.
P.S. My daughter wants to know if there are any Lions or Tigers in the Demo I'm playing (Or in Dom 3 for that matter). She thought I was very funny when I made an "UUerkk' noise the time my capital provence got attacked when nobody was near and only then did I realize that one of the Water races was active and .... (I guess they call it a learning experience). She laughed and laughed.
I'll also try to find how to build another temple in the PDFs I've downloaded. Onward to game 5 !!!

Re: Introduce yourself!! :-)
 

There are national summon spells, and one of the most common ones calls forth big animals of some kind. All of the three eras of monkeys have Ambush of Tigers IIRC, and MA sacred units ride tigers. There are also lions here and there. I'm not 100% sure if there's a spesific summon for lions, but I'm quite positive.

Re: Introduce yourself!! :-)
 

There are normal lions, magical summer lions, magical kithaironic lions, and sea lions (and three lion headed gods). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Introduce yourself!! :-)
 

I was thinking of the spell 'Pride of Lions', which was already present in Dom2 it seems... It seems I forgot "some" of the other spells.
Aren't there Great Lions too? Bigger ones one of the lion-headed gods gets? Or are those the only ones? Nah, I should just test it.

Re: Introduce yourself!! :-)
 

Hello and welcome, I am a newbie as well exploring the demo just like yr self. However I know how to get basic ordinary lions.

Play as Arcosephale, research conjuration to lvl 2, make sure u have a lvl 2 nature mage, then cast summon animals (need 20 nature gems), u get loads of animals for yr army bats, wolves, bears and lions. U can do this very easily by turn 5 - 10. The creatures r not that powerful but u get alot of them.

Enjoy the game.

It's not only Arco, I think Summon Animals cast on certain terrain types yields lions.

I'm a 36 year old, male living in Corpus Christi, Texas (on the coast). I work for the government as an occupational safety and health officer. I spent 5 years in the Army where I lived in Germany for 2.5 years and loved Europe. I've been playing video games since Pong. Played the demo for Dominions 2, but it seemed really hard so I didn't buy it. I wished I had and I've preordered Dom 3 and am really looking forward to it. I'm really looking forward to getting the hang of the game and then playing in multiplayer.

Hey! My family is in Corpus Christi, TX. Little brother and both parents. Grew up there from 3 to 18 and still go back for the holidays. Love the beach there. Small world. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Welcome to the board!

Re: Introduce yourself!! :-)
 

Yep, it is a small world. I constantly meet people either from here in CC or close by like Houston, while gaming. It currently is, and has been for the past 4 days, raining. I'm really hoping you guys can school me in MP as I really don't have a clue to playing past the 40th turn in the game.
