They're like normal Abysia, but bigger, meaner and hotter ! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

Bigger? Do they get giant Abysians or something? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

I don't see any screenshots so I don't believe you. :p

Re: Screenies!
 

Funny you should say that... some early Abysians actually are bigger. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

Your claim requires pictorial evidence.

Re: Screenies!
 

I want freaking sharks with laser beams!

Re: Screenies!
 

I'm afraid you have to be more spesific.

Re: Screenies!
 

I REALLY wanted to post just a picture of the EA Abysian recruitment screen, but decided against it. My own eagerness in seeing new things has been played against me lately, so I don't want to be too mean.

Re: Screenies!
 

You've already seen the ranged blaster-assassin, so I'll give you the fish-that's-not-exactly-fish beamster. It's grown older (108 years old already!) since the baby picture. Its Polypal Mother are so proud of it!

Re: Screenies!
 

One Atlantian coming up. Actually, they came up a long time ago, but it took me a while to shrug off the jungle fever. No Queens of Rain, so barring national heroes, their respectable caste is gone in the Late Age.

Re: Screenies!
 

Titan with wings & lightning bolt.

Also, cool screenies. What is Rhuax?

Re: Screenies!
 

They are. There aren't that many totally new assassins (Early Age Abysia has Demonbred assassins, very much like the Dom2 hero) and there are more stealthy troops with interesting abilities. Satyr Sneaks are just common troublemakers, but Nagini of Patala... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif


http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...44551-temp.jpg

That last Water pick is from a random. The random is common 100?WESN, or one 100% chance for one of Water, Earth, Astral or Nature. Nagini are 250 gp capital-only commanders of Late Age Patala (monkey people), and in Middle Age, they are national summon of Bandar Log, Conj. 4, WWE, 25 gems, with no national mages capable of casting the summon. Their best mages do have 110%WESN random (one 100% and one 10% chance for getting one of those paths; the randoms are not linked) so there's a slight possibility of getting WE caster who could eventually make a Water Bracelet.


Also, as you probably noticed, this picture is of slightly higher quality. The game looks much better than this, and I realized how ugly the other pictures are, so I made this picture of slightly better quality (and many times bigger).

Re: Screenies!
 

Wow. The Nagini is just... nice. Versatile, yet not overpowered. I love the fact that they get so many options. Probably the best argument I've seen yet to play Patala -- just getting to monkey around (pun intended) with that unit.

Thank you. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

Oh, now you're just toying with us. Man, does that Pretenders page look beautiful. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I'm very interested in the Kali-looking Pretender in the top-right corner.

Re: Screenies!
 

What do you mean "too mean"? Taunting us like that is the cruelest thing possible! Please can we have a recruitment screen pic?

One for EA R'yleh would be super sweet too.

Re: Screenies!
 

EA R'lyeh is interesting, or would be if you knew the units.
EA Abysian rec screen isn't interesting, because you already now almost all the units. It'd have been cruel to post just that, because you'd see that the new demonbreds are armed with axes, and that there ARE bigger Abysians, but wouldn't have known about the differences (hp, fire shield, good prot for EA, etc). But if you really want, one EA Abysian rec screen coming up...

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...44570-temp.jpg

Random tidbit of the post: Shift-click now adds 10 units to the recruitment queue.

Re: Screenies!
 

I hope you mean Deva. The other one is Destroyer of Worlds, and he also appeared in the Shepherds of Creation mod for Dom2.

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...44571-temp.jpg

Re: Screenies!
 

Hmm, a demon killing blood mage natarajaish titan.

Fascinating.

So Endo, how about my request? The winged titan?

Re: Screenies!
 

Very nice! I'm very curious as to how the starting gear stacks up against stuff that can be crafted and how effective she is against the various Blood summons. But I generally love the idea of an "anti-Blood SC" SC Pretender. She's purty. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

Sorry, I missed that post of yours. One Lord of the Sky is up. I'll post his pic in a moment.

Edit 2:

Re: Screenies!
 

If I remember correctly the Apotropaic weapons stun demons.

Re: Screenies!
 

I'd dig on just having the army selection screens for the three ages, just to be able to see the names for each era. But perhaps that's giving away too much too soon...

Re: Screenies!
 

Ahhhh, awesome, Pity about the cost though.

Re: Screenies!
 

Apotropaic Sword:
Dam 8, Att 1, Def 1, Length 3;
Magic; the effect against demons isn't mentioned but I take it's 2x. #dt_holy deals triple damage to both undead and demons, and #dt_demon deals double damage against demons. And yes, they are new modding commands.

Apotropaic Trident:
Dam 10, Att 0, Def 0, Length 4;
Magic; special effect: Halt Demon (no further description given)

Crown:
Head (although it isn't mentioned)
Prot 8, Def 0, Enc 0

Skull Necklace
Body (again, not mentioned)
Prot 10, Def 0, Enc 0

As sometimes noticed in Dom2, there're still a few weird things with how the equipment works. It seems the empty hands of multi-handed creatures aren't considered at all when items are equipped. I think it's a bug, so I'll file a report.

Re: Screenies!
 

Cool stuff.

Re: Screenies!
 

My favorite assassin is a god. Lord of the Night. Big (lots of hit points), magic (blood and death), flies, and he summons help for the assassinations.

Re: Screenies!
 

Wow. That sounds verah nace.

Edit: Wasn't he in Dom II? I'm waiting on a replacement CD so I can't check, but I thought that he was perhaps a Machaka pretender?

Re: Screenies!
 

Mictlan pretender, though Gandalf's liking goes back to Dom I where for example Pangaea and some other nations could also get it.

LotN is stealthy, but you needed the Black Heart to make him an assasin.

Re: Screenies!
 

You don't. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

Oh, and no one has mentioned anything about new heroic abilities. They are interesting.

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...44620-temp.jpg

Re: Screenies!
 

Definitely an interesting new ability. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

Oh, there is more of those, but hopefully Endo will leave some as surprise.

Re: Screenies!
 

I'm not going to post any new ones. I might, if they can name one - but probably won't. Unless they manage to quess one! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif Only one of them is mentioned on the dom3progress page, AFAIK, and even it isn't mentioned to be a heroic ability.

Re: Screenies!
 

If you hadn't been so awesomely cooperative in posting all these screenies so far Endo, I'd call you a tease. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

(Psssst. Give us something Machaka. Preferably spider-y.)

Re: Screenies!
 

Ah, but I haven't posted many of the really good things.

About Machaka - there isn't much to give. They now have FEDN randoms. Sorceress has the new, interesting 0? random - 10% chance of FEDN, only FED for most. They have some more heroes, but I've kept heroes mostly off-limits. There's also the new pretender, but as it's the ONLY new national pretender Machaka gets, I won't post it. Not the description, at least. However, it's one of the best-looking pics I've seen in Dom3 yet, so I'll post a picture. It's a screenshot straigth from the map view, BTW, and not resized outside the game (I used </> to resize the commander icons into as big as I could), pasted into Gimp and saved as a jpg.

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...44651-temp.jpg

Re: Screenies!
 

You are a cruel, cruel man. Both for your mention of the -really- good things and for your refusal to post the descrip.

Fie!

He looks like a giant! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

It would've been crueler if you'd seen the big things first, and the strangest things first (have I mentioned LA R'lyeh heroes? They are strange.), and when you got the game you'd be disappointed in "just" having Caelians that look really, really good, or monkey people, or few new national spells. My job is to keep your interest up. I'm allowed to have fun in the meantime.
Sorry, I'm not a member. You'll have to have your vengeance in a more modern manner. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif


However, as I mentioned earlier, I've also felt the need of having to know very resently. Illwinter is an evil master.

Re: Screenies!
 

It.

Re: Screenies!
 

*chuckle* I understand all of those things and appreciate the skill with which you're doing your job. I just have to let the frustration vent in productive fashion every now and then. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I'm enjoying the slow crawl to release and the various info releases along the way. I can already tell that the first weekend that Dom3 hits is going to be a lost one, regardless of anything else going on in my life. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

Third eye? Reminds me of Saber Cherry's "Heroic Tentacles"... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

And that other heroic ability is Unequaled Obesity, right?

And Machaka pretender...Lord of the Summer Plague, right?

Re: Screenies!
 

One of these is correct.

Re: Screenies!
 

I so wish it's the Lord of the Summer Plague. I'd hate to get Unequaly Obese machakan assasin or something.

Re: Screenies!
 

C'mon, Endo. No offerings for today? We've got to get at least one new screenie a day. I'm still hunkering for something Carrion Woods if there's something neat in there for me. Or that unit recruitment screen for Early R'lyeh would also be a hoot. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

I was wondering if anyone would request anything. Request something - I mightn't give you exactly what you ask for, but I'll usually post something.

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...44905-temp.jpg

Re: Screenies!
 

This is the only new thing of Carrion Woods that comes to mind. Late Age Pangaea has few new things as well, but Carrion Woods doesn't exist as a nation as it used to.

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...44906-temp.jpg

Re: Screenies!
 

I'd like to see some late era R'lyeh units. Something new about Ermor or more Enigma of Steel -related stuff works too.

Re: Screenies!
 

The lack of a Carrion Woods nation makes me a sad panda, but here's hoping that a suitably nasty replacement has arisen to fill its role. Do we still have a Carrion Dragon pretender or is that gone as well?

Re: Screenies!
 

Oh. My. Umor.

Also, lack of carrion woods as a proper nation gets a: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

How about a nice new unique artifact? Have any of those on tap?
