Re: An Inquiry into the Merits of Doom Horrors
 

Ah - the base magic paths, not counting enhancers. Have to remember that; I got my first wishes ever (MP or SP) within a week of each other in two mosehansen games, one with Caelum and human/immobile pretenders. YellowCactus killed my pretender via that blood corruption spell (5 or 6 hundred astral gems went into the dispel, but failed - worse, I had multiple mere High Seraphs who could have done the dispel instead). I had thought my Powered/Magic Powered Sorceress with loads of artifacts was beefy, but a doom horror killed her for the dispel.

Happily - Twice Born, with a chalice next to the capitol to heal her feeblemindedness when she came back undead. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Agree.

Agree even more http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Well, there I disagree. I prefer bane lords

The key differences being lack of flying, higher price (10D vs 30Blood), but 2 full resistances (CR, PR vs FR, CS), better base equip (so non-full equip is a possibility) Encumberance (this is importnant if fighting stuff like skeletons or false horrors), Strenght (importnant vs high-prot units), and lack of 4 attack and 2 def.

Long weapons and attack help immensely vs this, if you manage to repel a false horror, it dies. So, burning pearl and a long enouh weapon it is.

Agree.

Good post Tuna http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif .

The big disadvantage with the banelord for me is though his undeadness . Dust to dust + Wither bones will make dust of him unfortunately rather easy , to a lesser extent the same with solar rays .
Once the enemy has a staff of storm the Banelord is imo really screwed with his then really slow movement .

Already earlygame the banelord is kinda screwed against any nation with air or nature mages who have death as well .
So ctis , jotunheim and machaka especially can give the banelord a great threat early with the eagle eye + dust to dust combo .

Earlygame though your bigger mobility is an advantage and the enemy can't protect all his provinces with 1-2 mages .


But in mid - lategame in bigger battles the banelords are very likely to get killed by wither bones and similiar while these spells don't work against a devil thug .

Are there any other good non-unique summonable thugs/scs ? Tartarians are excellent but only if you have GoH or the Chalice .

Is there a list somewhere of what codes you should type for the wish spell. e.g. to get gems do I just type the name of the gems I want such as "nature" ?

Sunray has a list on his site, www.freewebs.com/dominions IIRC. It should turn up with google if that is not the right address, though.
