sunrays dominion site frozen :(
 
Account Frozen.
The page you are looking for has expended its monthly bandwidth allowance and will be frozen until more is purchased or its bandwidth is reset.

thats the info on sunrays excellent dom 2 page http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
does anyone know if he hosts it somewhere else or what happens ? would be really be a pity if his site will be gone it was so excellent http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
almost all needed dominions wisdom on one site .

Well, considering it says "monthly" and it's near the end of the month, I'd expect it to be back up in a few days...

You know, it's this kind of new-age absurdity that really pisses me off. Do these people honestly think that "bandwidth" is something that just magically accumulates? It's not! Instead of serving the page, now the bandwidth is just being USELESSLY WASTED. If they want to limit bandwidth, they should actually limit it to a constant rate, like, say, some X% of the provider's capacity.

I suggest a protest: Everyone interested should repeatedly refresh the "out of bandwidth" page. Write a script to do it! Over and over! Show them what "OUT OF BANDWIDTH" *REALLY* means. Idiots. Out of bandwidth my ***.

its funny that they would advertise their services on such a page.. do they expect someone to actually want that to happen to their own site?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">It's a free web hosting outfit. They don't want people who haul down huge amounts of traffic - for instance, free porn.

And pretty much all the outfits that provide free web hosting have a limit on the bandwidth, to #1 induce people to upgrade to a for-pay setup, and #2, limit abuse.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Wish gives a random hero. Check out this thread, which I found using this forum's SEARCH function (for "wish", 4th entry from the top).

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yes, you can. Type in "ettin mandragora", which is his unit type. Don't type in "hero", because that gets you a random one. He's "the Ettin Mandragora", hence, that's what you wish for. You'll notice how every unit tends to be something to the effect of Bob the Whatever. To get that unit type, wish for whatever. However, if he shares a unit type string, you'll probably get some generic one instead. Don't wish for "Wraith Lord" to get Etimmu. However, there's only one Ettin Mandragora on record, so if you wish for that, you'll get that one.

so you can directly wish for every summon with a unique name in brackets in zens scqr ?
if i would like to have exactly e.g. belial i would always get them with wishing for lord of corruption ?
same for the elemental kings/queens .
if i want a special ice devil e.g. there is no chance to get that though or ?
i would have to wish several times and hope to randomly get my favourite one .

Boron, download the Unit_ID.xls file from Arryn's site to see the differences between units of the same name but different type. E.g. Mounted Commander is the name for three different unit types which have the unit ID numbers of 44, 45 and 46, Wraith Lord summoned by Call Wraith Lord is 181, the wraith lord leading Ghost Riders is 182 and Etimmu the Wraith Lord is unit type 183.

I suppose it could be possible to differentiate between what units you can wish for if the game understands a wish command for "unit [ID#]" or "commander [ID#]". Some enterprising soul might want to test this out?
