This Ritual of Invoke Johan Ostermann is pretty potent if you asks me! Must be level 9 thaumaturgy. Hope it wont attracts horrors though... (not speaking of RTS gamers there http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif )

Re: OT - Dominions: Preists, Prophets & Pretenders
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif that was funny.....anyways...yeah, I really hope that there is a demo....and I really hope I get my copy of Dominions...

speaking of which...I think I have 3 copies coming....the first order they said they didn't get the card numbers...so I sent it to them again....not sure if I was charged twice or not...hmmmm....but anyways, just to avoid not getting it, i ordered it also from tuxgames.com....I know I should have it within a week or so....anybody here that bought the game from United States? if so, how long did it take you to get it in the mail (from either tuxgames or the other place that sells it)?????

Re: OT - Dominions: Preists, Prophets & Pretenders
 

So, when you are taking preorders? Are we getting the demo at the same time?

The printing of the CD has been moved up about 3 weeks.

So you will have to wait a while longer.

Re: OT - Dominions: Preists, Prophets & Pretenders
 

oh well....that just gives me more time to enjoy the first Dominions....it should be arriving at my mailbox within the next 5 to 7 days....

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, but it's a matter of proportions, sane tactics, and circumstance. As you say below, real-world ancient armies (or any army which took a moment to think) would not fire full barrages right at the melee - they would restrict to firing at enemy Groups - not right at the battle line, half-hitting their own men. And if ten of their own guys had surrounded one or two enemies, they wouldn't have twenty archers pepper the whole group with arrows.

Quote:

You find your archers too stupids? Aside from the fact that the AI in doms II is augmented when it comes to targeting, the problem lie perhaps because you ask too much of them. Historically, a commander would ask his archers to rain arrows upon the enemy, and stop when melee start. In dominions you could just do that, and this is not workarounds IMO : ask for firing at commanders (rear area), or ask to fire and flee (so they fire 2 rounds). I must recon though that the best order would be to fire X rounds then stop. Dont know if it will be available in doms II.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes. As I said originally, the given options for this are inadequate in Dom I. As you say, the best you can do is fire at commander, or fire and flee, and the latter option has the men actually retreat and leave the province you are fighting in (and get auto-eliminated if your province has no adjacent friendly provinces to flee to).
