Arcane Domination
 

Hey, what's the proportion of converting magic resistance 9 units with this spell? Does it affect longdead and other undead? How effective is the spell?

Re: Arcane Domination
 

Arcane domination only affects units tagged as 'magical creature'. They get +4 to MR IIRC, meaning maybe 25% of units with MR 9 will be affected. If you use several +pen items the number affected will go up.

I can't think of any undead it affects offhand. Master Enslave won't affect mindless undead (including Soulless/Longdead) either. For them you need Control the Dead.

Well I am looking at an undead problem. I have 10 dominion in all provionces including some of my enemies, how well does purgatory work as I am a fire nation?

Re: Arcane Domination
 

If the undead is tartarians or other high-hp undead, not so well.

If it's legions of chaff, purgatory is great.

Re: Arcane Domination
 

Will it kill are percentage or a set few? Ie if there's 5000 in 1 province with 10 friendly dominion.

Re: Arcane Domination
 

According to the manual, all undead creatures in your dominion are attacked. It isn't clear whether they all take damage or if they have a chance of avoiding it. Any way, I assume it'd kill huge amounts of normal longdeads in few turns' time, perhaps even something like 50%. This is just a guess, though.

Re: Arcane Domination
 

yes, it should really winnow down any amount of chaff.

Re: Arcane Domination
 

From what I see it's all chaff. I have a billion priests anyway but I'm looking for a quick and devastating fix.

Re: Arcane Domination
 

Purgatory and for the big groups add Flames from the Sky

Re: Arcane Domination
 

f you have an Air/Astral commander salted away somewhere (even a heavily boosted Crystal Amazon might work), add Wrath of God to the mix.

Re: Arcane Domination
 

IF you're a nation with astral or blood, a communion mastered priest, perhaps with a crystal shield, will do obscene turning when you get up to h6 or h7.

Re: Arcane Domination
 

Against chaff purgatory is exactly what you're looking for. It will affect 10%/candle of the undead in all provinces. I don't remember the exact amount of damage (I think there was some variable and that it averaged to about 15 pts of damage, probably AP, maybe AN. But don't quote me on that)

Basically it means that if you have 10 dominion in all provinces as you say you do it will eliminate just about all regular undead at once. (It will also frequently leave tougher oponents like banelords and the like afflicted)

Enjoy the fireworks. :)

And what's the formula for "the wrath of god"?
