Hi Duncan, Hi Mikhail :)

nice to see you here (the french community on dom3 is growing du to the cyberstratege tournament :))

Re: Introduce yourself!! :-)
 

Welcome all new people! If you have any questions to ask, go right ahead. Take a look at the FAQ and the Strategy Index to get you started if you aren't already familiar with those.

Hello, hello.

Oh dear, only had game a few days and already I'm neglecting work, eating and personal hygiene. I still haven't actually finished a SP game as I keep discovering new stuff and re-start to take advantage of it.

When people said that there was a steep learning curve they really weren't joking.

Looking forwards to getting together for my first noob game over the next couple of weeks, let me know when a suitable one is being set up.

Hi all,

Another guy from Finland adding to what seems to already be a quite large number of Finnish Dom3 players!

I would also be interested in newbie MP game if one is being set up. I might even try starting a thread for it myself in the MP section but I would need help with organizing it ;)

Re: Introduce yourself!! :-)
 

Welcome fellow newbies.

It is not hard at all to set up a newbie game. There are stickies in the MP subforum explaining how to do it. And the Llamaserver is really great.

Hello

Got this game some time ago and just got some time to look into it. Wow, it is a wealth of interacting issues. This is terrific.

But, boy am I new. I have version 3.20 or 3.00. There have been many patches and I have no idea how to insert them into my game or how to find them.

Also, how does one deal with glamor units like Helhirdlings?

That is all for now.

Re: Introduce yourself!! :-)
 

Hello to all the newcomers! I'm glad that so many have joined this wonderful game this week :)

About your questions, Hector, I believe you'll only have to download the newest patch from here:

About how to counter the Helhirdlings Im afraid I don't know. Im still learning since im quite new to this game myself :D
Altough, probably some nice aoe spells would do the trick :)

Re: Introduce yourself!! :-)
 

Welcome, Joelz, and good guess there! :D

Hector:
Magic is the key. Once you patch, missiles will also work much better. In some patch or other, glamour/mirror image effect was changed to not affect missiles.

Once you can deal damage to the helhirdings, they will lose their mirror image for that battle and your normal troops might be able to handle them. If you have elemental magic, research Evocation (aim for one of: Thunder Strike, Blade Wind, Falling Fires, Falling Frost). If you have Astral, research Thaumaturgy (at least until Mind Burn).

Hi all, I'm Brian from GA, USA. I've just jumped in rather blind and placed an order for Dominions III this afternoon, didn't even feel a need to try the demo after reading through the features and coming across random praise at various forums. Never played, or somehow even been actively conscious, of this kind of game before, but I'm a big Roguelike fan so it appealed to me on the perceived traits of depth and versatility of options for any given situation.

Not sure when I'll actually get around to trying it respective of my backlog of titles, but I look forward to it and will try and follow what goes on here in the interim so that when I do have a starting experience I'll be fully patched up and such for an excellent first impression!
