Re: Best - worse magic paths

They used to get +2 and it still says so in the desc. Pan has no problems summoning the queens (you need to empower a Pan in death in EA, though), but you might as well use the Panii to summon the...

Re: Various Newbie Gameplay Questions

Exactly, and I can't see an astral nation going conj9 when they could just speed research alt9/Wish and press the 'I win' button.

Re: Best - worse magic paths

Yup, sorcery rules. Astral is still the king in my book with death coming close second. Nature got its key spells nerfed and isn't really essential now, imo (also, it's easy to recruit an indep 1N...

Re: A few Pangaea questions

Dom 3 and SP thus far:

1: I always try to (unless double bless) get 4D for the EA/MA pretender, death magic really is too good to pass up.

2: Naw, better get them killed faster...

Re: Pangeae: Late age hints needed

True, it's a slow start, but Carrion Centaurs are only mariginally less economical than Lords or Ladies when it comes to reanimating. I find the carrion commanders very much worth it, they return the...

Re: a difficult Pangaean strategy

Yes, I remember we had a similar discussion couple of years ago. I usually try to find Woodsmen or Villains, cheap and stealthy. I'm kind of interested to know why you prefer Centaur Archers over...

Re: a difficult Pangaean strategy

Ah finally some good Pan discussion, time to return from hiatus. Thanks, that was an interesting read. I don't think the basic strategies will change too much from Dom2, so I'll focus on some changes...

CW Pan: Sagittarian Carcass not shooting?

Anyone else tried putting Sagittarian Carcass on 'fire'-orders just to see him pull back the bow string but actually release no ammunition. Is it just lack of a missile graphic or is the thing just...

Re: Swarm: What do you do against it?

Swarm is a good distraction (nothing like having your mages drop niefel flames on a bunch of dragonflies - right next to your front line) but gets really nasty when combined with spells like 'Life...

Besides, you don't necessarily have to fully equip your bane lords. I usually only equip my bane lords with stuff like regen rings, antimagic amulets and luck pendants. They already got a decent...

Game balance issues, again...

Hello boys and girls. Got some old and some new gripes from the #dominions channel @ IRCNet.

1. Clams are still damn powerful for reasons outlined before in these forums.
Suggestion: Move it to...

Re: Nightly Games and IRC

Why not just join #dominions in IRCnet? It's established and got bots. Okay, I admit it's mostly populated by finns but we speak english whenever there's even one foreigner around. Also, some of us...

Re: Last question (I hope) on magic learning strategies (Machaka or similar multi-path)?

Humer: that sort of goes without saying but is a good point anyway. I admit that I turn quite a hefty amount of the fire gems to cash, too but most of the time I just go to town with Flames/Fires...

Re: Carrion woods

I've only been toying around the theme a little but I think I can give you _some_ pointers. First, I'd certainly make a magically versatile pretender so that you can rely on some good summons...

Re: Last question (I hope) on magic learning strategies (Machaka or similar multi-path)?

Magma Eruption is my favourite with Machaka, too. Blindness is another spell you should learn to rely on, too (no better way to stop hordes of rampaging Niefel giants).

As for units I wouldn't...

Re: I have a question about Satyrs

Yes, Satyrs do suck, imo. What they really need is some natural protection and maybe a decent shield (something like 3 natural prot, round shield and javelins with mrl 10 would actually be usable)....

I've been pestering the devs for this feature all the way back from Dom1. The devs however feel that it contributes to the unpredictability of the battles and thus don't want to give us _too_ much...

Re: Alexander\'s ever-expanding Tome of Knowledge

Re: Last of the Tuatha strategy
