Will somebody tell my mages that it's not a good idea to...
Turn 1: Cast Communion Slave
Turn 2: Cast Communion Master In an assasination attempt. Or under any circumstances for that matter. ...nor is it a good idea for Sidhe Lords to cast Healing Song 10 times in a row, when he is alone on the battlefield (other than the enemy assassin), when he is at full HP. |

bodyguards.

Nope, that's your job.
Try scripting something other then 'Cast Spells'. |
Re: Will somebody tell my mages that it's not a good idea to...
As a dictatorial (pretender) God, I say that any mage who behaves so stupidly during an assassination attempt should be summarily purged from the gene pool. So let it be written, so let it be done.
What's that you say? Oh, problem solved. ;) -Max |
Re: Will somebody tell my mages that it's not a good idea to...
Yes, it's a sad thing the scripting options are so limited.
For dominions 4, we should wish for the posibility to write complex scripts like pseudocode. Then it would be easy to for example: Code:
start script "MyMage01" |
Re: Will somebody tell my mages that it's not a good idea to...
I would also like to see scripting. On the other hand, you wouldn't believe just how stupidly real people can act!
|
Re: Will somebody tell my mages that it's not a good idea to...
Yeah, being able to script magic would be totally awesome.
As it is I would be fine if the following things could be added. Two scripts, 1 against big armies, 1 against small (instead of limiting the gem usage). And a keep casting the last scripted spell instead of just cast whatever you want command. |
Re: Will somebody tell my mages that it's not a good idea to...
what would be nice, in addition to what Illuminated One said, would be to be able to script spells that are only followed in an assasination attempt.

Re: Will somebody tell my mages that it's not a good idea to...
You know, I'd be happy with just being able to prevent certain spells from being casted unscripted. I cannot imagine ANY reason why someone would cast communion slave and then communion master on himself. In fact, I can't imagine why he'd cast these spells at all, since he's the only commander on the battlefield.
|
Re: Will somebody tell my mages that it's not a good idea to...
That they shouldn't be cast if he's the only commander is true. As for the first part - it actually isn't all bad as this allows the mage in question to have the benefits of spells cast by other Communion Masters (and if it's Summon Earthpower or Power of the Spheres... quite nice, I'd say) and still channel some fatigue to Slaves. This isn't for all to do, of course, but for a part of communion it could be useful (and extra Slave can help in increasing power of Masters if you have no surplus slaves).

Reminds me of the old game where you built a robot and had to write pseudo code for the robot so it could fight in arenas.
The robot had to balance finding the enemy; moving; firing; repairing, scavaging resources. Cool game. |
Re: Will somebody tell my mages that it's not a good idea to...
Yeah, considering the wide scope of the game it's pretty amazing that the AI mostly works anyway.
Though that problem could be solved quite simply by making the communion slave + bloodvengeance spell a bloodvengeance + communion slave spell. :) |

Unless. Hmmm. Maybe you could make the very FIRST Communion Master also be a Communion Slave. -Max |

While playing Marignon I was wondering why my Witch Hunters were losing battles right and left, so I watched a battle replay.
Oh my Baphomet. He blessed himself on the first turn, and on the second turn he casted Blink. |
Re: Will somebody tell my mages that it's not a good idea to...
Mages that are set to cast spells (or not given orders) will cast spells even if the only possible (path/range/research) spells are useless or even harmful in the current situation. Desperate to impress the mage-chicks I guess :re:
