Why not negate half the hits that are going to get past its etherealness, to make it even harder to overcome regen and life drain? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

It took a long time, but eventually the doom horror and half the enemies were dead.

even without slots, a doom horror still could destroy a huge force,something equal to 120HI..

my favorite is a lucky pendant and a rockybird/dancing fork ^^

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">If you have to deal with large amounts of undead, then you would probably be better off summoning archangels with your pearls as a first guess.

Re: Question about Horrors
 
It's a SUPRISE. ^^

Never noticed that the haunted forest has been created, and the military report told me that the defenders are "LONGBOW*30"(it's a rich province near enemy' capital, far away from the battleline). It's a good target for a doom horror i believe, so i attack...and lose it.

Re: Question about Horrors
 
It's worth mentioning that Doom Horrors appear to cause Bad Events to occur. In my most recent game, after hearing all about Doom Horrors, I set up a Doom Horror Factory where I would mass produce Doom Horrors at 2-3 per turn.

Unfortunately, horrible things would constantly befall the aforementioned province. And the lab would burn down every other turn. Convinced that the AI was somehow responsible for this, I went with my classically heavy-handed overkill approach: I stuck up all of the arcane shielding domes I could cast, 4 or 5 or so. NOTHING was going to get through that.

The woes continued. Often multiple times per turn. I was utterly perplexed, and was planning on reporting this as a bug...right after I finished that game.

It all came to a head at the end game, where my masses of Doom Horrors congregated in massive packs of 20-30 in the home provinces of my enemies....

And immediately, about 8 bad events occurred in that province. It *HAD* to be the Doom Horrors. I'm sure of it now.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">how many hundreds of turns did you play to have such doom factory?

So apparently, Doom Horror isn't just a name. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif
