Ah, I see.

I remember when I once saw Solaris back in Dominions: PPP...ahhhh. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Few questions about finding items after battle
 

I think I've killed Solaris and ended up with only some of his equipment before. Finding trinkets and lesser items seems more likely than 20-40%, to me, though Arralen you said you did some tests on trinkets and only got them 20% of the time?

I know you do have to catch and defeat the item-carriers before they leave the map.

Speaking of Solaris in Dom I, I once scouted his province and went well out of my way to grab it. I loaded his gear on a Knight -- who died of a single shortbow arrow while storming the Jotun castle. It was all lost and I quit the game then and there.

Playing in my first non-demo game - I think I must have killed Solaris - I was playing on a large map with just one AI player - so that I could get to large scale playing - anyway I ended up with 4 items - Sun Sword, Sun Sheild, Sun Helmet and Sun Armor. Will post stats if anyone is interested.

Please do so.

Re: Few questions about finding items after battle
 

Solaris' magic items:

All items say they cost 25 Fire Gems to produce!


Sun Sword (Single Handed), Dmg: 15 (x3 vs undead/demon), Att: 3, Def: 3, Len: 3
This is the holy sword of Solaris. It will bless its wielder with holy rage and unleash fire upon its enemies in close combat. (Blessed, Beserk)

Sun Shield Prot: 25, Def: -2, Parry: 8, Enc: 2
This is the holy shield of Solaris, It partially protects him from fire and lightening. (50 in both cases)

Sun Helmet Prot: 24, Def: 0, Enc: 0
This is the holy helmet of Solaris. It protects him from magic.

Sun Armor Prot: 24, Def -5, Enc 5
This is the holy armor of Solaris. It shines with the brilliance of the Sun and only the bravest of men will dare strike its wearer. (Awe +2)


You can tell which independents have Solaris as they have a strange name (which I've forgotten), but they are cavalry with goldy coloured bits!

Oooh, neat.

Re: Few questions about finding items after battle
 

This is the holy sword? Does it say that in game? Or did you typo?

Re: Few questions about finding items after battle
 

My typo - now fixed
