Re: Screenies!
 

I would like to see some national summon. Any nation, any era will do.

Re: Screenies!
 

Happy 400 posts to the Screenies thread! Yay!

Re: Screenies!
 

Is there anything groudbreaking going on with the Jotuns or the Vans?

Re: Screenies!
 

Let's continue with Caelum for a bit. Spentas! Google it. As with almost everything that has to do with Dominions, you'll find interesting stuff.

Re: Screenies!
 

Hm, emanations of Ahura Mazda that represent seven holy ideals. Also possibly interpreted as messengers or angels. Knowing Caelum, I'd have to go this route. Are these national summons? Interesting how, even in Zoroastrianism, they are broken up into things like fire, water, earth and plants. That means they will no doubt have a good variety of magical cpabilities if you can "collect all six"

Re: Screenies!
 

From the highest mountain-tops we go inside the mountains, the the forgotten land of Agartha!

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...48153-temp.jpg

When Agarthan race started to wither and die, the Golem Crafters were tought how to keep their memory alive.

Re: Screenies!
 

... Unfortunately, the statues broke down. Much of the lore of the Golem Crafters was forgotten, until the Ktonian Necromancers came, and the Agarthans themselves could be reanimated... "as guardians or company".

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...48156-temp.jpg

The ancient race, the long-gone, was never forgotten. I find the concept of Agartha touching - it's one of the only races where humans and non-humans live side-by-side, respecting each other, only for the ancient ones to die. Even in death, they are respected, the tombs taken care of, the bodies reanimated to tell of the old times.

Re: Screenies!
 

Also, for once, the humans weren't at fault. Early Age Agartha has few secrets of its own...

Japan has a rich mythology. Use the Google, dude!

Re: Screenies!
 

Here's one more national summon. I'm not giving away the paths and costs and research levels of these spells, to leave you something to wonder about.

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...48165-temp.jpg


Any other wishes? More summoned creatures, more info about a spesific nation?

Re: Screenies!
 

Oh my Umor! That's wonderful. <3

Great stuff Endo.

Re: Screenies!
 

AS for requests, hmmm, I wonder what I should ask for. I am interested in seeing an early Agartan mage, or perhaps a Marverni druid.

Re: Screenies!
 

Trampling toad! Trampling toad! Bwahahaha!

Re: Screenies!
 

Can you summon the Umbrals that the Seal Guards guard?

Unique imprisoned gods sound cool!

Re: Screenies!
 

Here are two Marverni mages.

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...48183-temp.jpg

Re: Screenies!
 

The random is 100%WESN. The actual Druids specialize in S and E, and have 2x100%WESN and 10%WESN, or unlinked 210%WESN, or however is should be shortened. Druids are also the most powerful of the mediocre priests of Marverni.

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...48184-temp.jpg

Re: Screenies!
 

Interesting, Maverni doesn't seem very strong magicaly.

Re: Screenies!
 

Umbrals aren't that special, they are just ethereal, life-draining wraiths of unfamiliar giants. Umbrals are just a by-product of the Seal. The Seal Chamber itself, well... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image.../firedevil.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

I bet it's something like an Olm pretender with D4 locked in there. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

Indeed. That 1 Astral stargazer with no other special abilities or randoms seems... Well, pretty weak by comparison to most other buys...

Re: Screenies!
 

You're a bad person, Endoperez. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

He's only 80 gold though.

Re: Screenies!
 

Oh, you of poor faith.

Re: Screenies!
 

This time, I have a very good reason for the confusing ending.

Re: Screenies!
 

Show more then. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

I've already shown lots of Marverni. If I showed Druids too, you'd only have the five martial tribes to discover, and what's the fun in that?

Re: Screenies!
 

Show us something else then, like an early or middle Agartan mage. Anything will do Endo, I'm not a picky man.

Re: Screenies!
 

Okay.

EDIT: I'm in an unimaginative mood. A Marverni Druid is ready for you to see. Happy now?

EDIT2: BTW, the above edit should be read literally. The image has already been posted. It's not my fault if your eyes have built-in spoiler filter.

Re: Screenies!
 

Yes. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

Damn you and your quick fingers!

Re: Screenies!
 

Monster toad. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif
This is a funny monster. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

Why is it so slow? Shouldn't it be able to leap great distances? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

As for requests, I'd like to see some more Enigma of Steel, or possibly something interesting relating to LA Man.

Re: Screenies!
 

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Mod can't be too far behind... any Rat/Nezumi people yet?

Re: Screenies!
 

Ahh a giant toad. Can it swallow units whole? Remember playing a game where giant toads swallowed my dudes whole. Can't remember the name however.

Hoburgs especially should live in terror. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smirk.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

Age of Wonders 2?

Re: Screenies!
 

Toads can't leap IIRC - too weak hind legs. Only frogs can.

Re: Screenies!
 

Congrats to the two people who found the Druid!


No rats, but there are tengu.

I've already shown lots of Enigma of Steel, so I quess it's LA Man. When I saw a new Longbowman for the first time, it was quite a shock! The new look is great!

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...48320-temp.jpg

Re: Screenies!
 

I agree - quite stylish. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

More! The mob clamors for more!

Re: Screenies!
 

More what? More archers? More merry men glad in green? More frogs? More time between the updates? Just ask!

Re: Screenies!
 

Endo, show us some new undead unit[s]. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

Ninja Turtle!

Show us a size-6 unit please http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

More undead? Hmm... I think the Ancestor Spirits already existed in DomII, so I can't show them. Of the big three, Behemoth is old and you all saw Ziz, and I'd rather leave Leviathan out. I don't want to ruin a surprise so I'm not showing any more of the Unfrozen. Then there are those iron-studded corpses LA Agartha creates. Oh, and that exploding one. Boron might use them in his AAR, though. I don't think Umbrals are labeled as undead, but even if they were Agarthan undead don't seem to be good enough for your mob. I'm not sure which of the C'tis Desert Tombs undead are new... Hey, the Lizard Chariots would all be new, wouldn't they?

Just a moment!

Re: Screenies!
 

Here, a warrior ready to serve his reborn king.

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...48367-temp.jpg

Re: Screenies!
 

I enjoy that.

Could you perhaps show us some neat new summonables?

Re: Screenies!
 

Hell yeah! Go my chariots! *in berzerk* http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

Ohhh cool! Argitoth would dig that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Screenies!
 

That is only because Endo is such a good teaser/misinformer.
Endo are you sure you never worked for the KGB or CIA? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

In early era there is much powerful stuff, so i am not sure how to rate Maverni, but they are at least not weak.

http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/1...l2kopieyf4.jpg

The price is a bit heavy, but he is sacred and he is not capitol only.
And the druid is exactly my taste how a battlemage should be (expect for the weak hp, but you can't have everything http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif).

My favourite random pick would be if he picks an earth and a nature random or two earth randoms. Then i could script him to summon earthpower, eagle eyes, and then 3x gifts from heaven or for the dual earth random summon earthpower and 4x bladewind.

Note that his precision is 12, so 17 with eagle eyes. Gifts from heaven is -3 precision, but that would still be 14 precision http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

I would not want to use SCs versus Maverni http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif.

Re: Screenies!
 

One more, the imho coolest new national summon:
http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/3...l5kopielp1.jpg

He is Mictlan only http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif.
You get the jaguar fiends via 2 spells:
Blood 4
Bind Jaguar Fiends , 2B 2F
Summons 3 Jaguar Fiends for 13 Blood!

Blood 8
Rain of Jaguars, 6B 2F
Summons 14+ Jaguar Fiends for 40 Blood.
Mictlan still has the high priest of the sun, well at least early Mictlan, he is 3B 2F.
So the investment of making 3 blood boosters for him is well worth it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.
Then you save ~ 21 Blood per casting of Rain of Jaguars compared to summoning them with the level 4 spell.

Mictlan is really awesome now. If you liked Mictlan in Dom2, you will loooooooooooooooooooooooove Mictlan in Dom3.

P.S.: Also notice the jaguar fiends faaaaaaaaaast mapmove. This means that you cannot counter them with storm neither since they are faster than cavalry!

Re: Screenies!
 

Neat, but the Ozelolz, er, Ozelotl was already shown. Hmm, does Mictlan have any other national summons than the 'lotl and the Toad?

Re: Screenies!
 

WOW ! that undead chariot, druid and ozelot look awesome !! if it was possible i would be even more looking forward to dom3 now
