Re: Happiness in Darkness -An Argatha Ktonian Dead
 

Dominions 2 had "darkness" spells. Non-undead units got huge penalties to attack, defense, and precision in darkness. I assume that darkvision simply ameliorates those effects.

Very nice! Can't really discuss your ideas before getting the game, though http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Happiness in Darkness -An Argatha Ktonian Dead
 

That's one part of it. Also, Agartha capital has Cave City and they can build new ones in suitable terrain, and Cave Cities have either darkness or partial darkness. I haven't actually defended against anything when I've had a cave city, so I don't know the details.

Also, as mentioned in the progress list, Fiends of Darkness have special ability which makes them more powerful in dark and less powerful under the effects of Solar Brilliance.

Again, that's some beautiful attention to detail. Pushes Agartha up my list of nations I want to play on release. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I agree, Jayded. These developers are extremely creative with the details to their game. It's a major reason why I love Dominions, as well!

I just noticed this. I thought there were 20 nations in each era, 60 in all? Screenshots would be joyfully recieved.

Currently my AAR is a bit paused, i got carried away recently with Silent Storm Sentinels. They had it this month in a pc game magazine, so i bought it a few days ago. Since i loved Ja 2 i am now addicted to Sentinels. But in a few days i should have finished the campaigns (Sentinels campaign and Silent Storm Axis campaign) and then i am done with Silent Storm for a while i think and can fully focus on Dom3 again.

But currently i am curious about when i meet my first Panzerklein http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif.

Well, hey, I'll take your beta copy if you're not using it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Happiness in Darkness -An Argatha Ktonian Dead
 

Heh, those games are great. You tried the hotseat multiplayer yet?

...oops...

You probably won't have to wait very long. The panzerkleins in Silent Storm are pushovers, but when you're going up against the Sentinels ones, you'd better have something heavy on you or your squad'll be toast. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

Re: Happiness in Darkness -An Argatha Ktonian Dead
 

Havent tried them in Hotseat yet, can you play them via internet too?

Hm my Sentinels Addiction is almost gone not because of Sentinels but because of PCPowerplay, the gaming magazine that offered Silent Storm Gold as full version in their magazine. They did only use Sentinels 1.0 and because the CD is not original you cannot patch it. Has probably been the last time i buy a game this way http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/mad.gif.

At least it is positive for you, now i will soon write a new chapter http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.
