Visitor?
 

Hi

can anyone tell me the stats of the MA R'Lyeh summoning called Visitor?
There's one in my backyard and it somehow does not sound good!

thanks!

Re: Visitor?
 

ah, you're right

but thanks a lot anyway!

Re: Visitor?
 

Whoa. 10 strategic move?!

Is there a way to turn this guy into a SC? XD

Re: Visitor?
 

Probably not, no good slot and no armor, he is toast in close combat. He gives rlyeh access to air magic and he is good at ferrying gems/items, other than that he has few purposes. Atleast to my knowledge.

Re: Visitor?
 

I'd say he was a thug. Bag of wind, bottle of elemental water. He is already etheral, so script Air shield, Mistform, Mirror Image, Personal luck, Astral Shield, cast spells.

Then zip him around someones empire perhaps...

Re: Visitor?
 

I think his best use would probably be assaulting enemy temples to bring dominion down, and just generally being an uncatchable nuisance.

If this guy has mapmove 10, does that mean he can retreat 10 flying spaces away? I was always curious about that.

Re: Visitor?
 

No, if none of the surrounding provinces are not yours he dies.

Re: Visitor?
 

Nope, retreat = death in battle if you have no adjacent provinces under your control.

Re: Visitor?
 

Pretty sure retreat is still only to adjacent provs. So if he retreats well behind enemy lines, he would die.

Re: Visitor?
 

I've played MA R'Lyeh many times but never seen this guy! Now I want to play until I get him!

Re: Visitor?
 

I played R'Lyeh until I got Greater Othernesses, but never seen the Visitor either. But a Greater Otherness with gift of reason I found to be very nice as well! With its Blood Vengeance (still wonder if MR negates that effect? would hate to stone a SC with Medusa by attacking an Otherness)..

Does anyone know where to find Eli's unit database, by the way? I've heard it mentioned but I have not found I yet..

Re: Visitor?
 

He's got it linked in his sigs, and he posts a LOT, so it shouldn't be too hard (hint: check the stickied bug shortlist)

And it's Edi, not Eli (not trying to nitpick, but if you're trying to run a forum search the spelling could matter)

Re: Visitor?
 

ah thanks, I found it.. Couldn't find it because I was only searching the dom3 forum :-) It's on the Dom2 forum it seems
Quite extensive...

Re: Visitor?
 

I'd use him to quickly cast Battle Fortune, Doom and retreat in big battles with the freespawn, I think. If you want to have a SC-able unit with mapmove 10, have a look at the national Siddha summon of the apes...

Re: Visitor?
 

battle fortune and doom are spells almost all your starspawns have access to.

Re: Visitor?
 

Ookay, then forget what I said. It shows that I never played R'lyeh, does it? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif

Re: Visitor?
 

Not stealthy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif Too bad, I would give him a Black Heart and set him to work as an assassin.

PS Trivia: He's a Teuthowenia squid.

Re: Visitor?
 

Stuff I've gotten from the void gate:

Vastness
Lesser Otherness
Otherness
Greater Otherness
Vile Thing
Formless Spawn
Thing that should not be
Elder Thing
Dweller in the Deep
Thing from Beyond
Thing of many eyes

Other than the Visitor, did I miss anything? MA R'Lyeh is my favorite nation, but I bounce around other nations as well. With the very random nature of the void gate, it's hard to say if I've seen everything else it has to offer.

Re: Visitor?
 

The visitor is a hero not something you get from the gate. I can understand why you were mislead by the info text on the thing though.

Re: Visitor?
 

Ah I see.

I haven't got any special (MA) R'Lyeh heroes in Dom3 besides Cthugul. This is even when I had the heroes mod on. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Visitor?
 

The Visitor is a national hero, and I seem to almost always get it when I play R'Lyeh. When it is not ferrying stuff around, I like to use it blasting away from the back of a good sized army. Put a few Vastness guards on it, and it rarely gets hurt.

Re: Visitor?
 

Im sure you have seen abuuleth the aboleth (sp?).

Re: Visitor?
 

I saw him many times in Dom2, and I think once as EA R'Lyeh, but never as MA R'Lyeh in Dom3.

Siddha's are great raiders, particularly with a nasty bless http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.
