Re: Pretender assassin - balance?

I get the same result, using the Windows Version and patch 2.08: He does not have the 'assassin' ability icon in his description, but does get the option to assassinate. ...

Re: Various Mictil questions

Well, I tend to go for Turmoil and Luck with nations where I really really want the Heroes to show up. Also, a (reasonably good)chance of getting a hero with Death magic, or even independant death...

Re: Various Mictil questions

I'd definitely reconsider your pretender. Mictlan has a cool variety of sacred mages, so you can rely on them to allow you to cast lots of funky spells.

Mictlipoctli, for example, is a very...

Re: The next patch

Wouldn't it be even easier to simply compile a list of the maps&scenarios along with which nations could play them?

Then you can just consult that during the God creation process. No need for UI...

Re: Phoenix pyre and selfdestruct amulet damage

Pfff!

Why not just call it an "Act of [a pretender] God" and weasel out that way! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

Re: a suggestion for a population growth spell

I think some people would just like to be able to repopulate provinces which have been ground down to population zero.

Wish would do this, by the sound of it.

Re: Best (CD Bootable?) Linux Distro for Dominions?

I like Knoppix in general, but tend to keep my games on my lingering Windows partition. I did test the Doms 1 demo on linux (Mandrake 9.2) and found it to be surprisingly slow - way slower than on...

Re: Defending vs. stronger neighbor early attacks

I suppose I hope that I am sneaky enough to come up with a strategy to deal with the neighbour over those ten turns!

Given a little preparation, it becomes a battle of wits. If conflict is too...

Re: Defending vs. stronger neighbor early attacks

Well, I'm not a vet, but can't you just message the neighbour to point out that, while the stronger nation will probably win, you can still do enough damage to cripple his initial expansion, and so...

Re: Fever fetish and gems of fire

Isn't the ruby eye unique? So you probably want to keep it for a fire mage.

Re: "These are a few of my favorite things..."

Eye of aiming + wands/other missile weapons.

Turn scouts (or other cheap commanders with reasonable starting precision) into surprisingly effective artillery units. Add the flying boots, and they...

Re: Spells not working.. :(

I have definitely seen Phantasmal Attack and Send [Lesser] Horror work - i.e. they have produced a battle. This was with the 2.08 patch.

It's possible that you need a spy or Astral Window to see...

Re: Eater of the Dead?

I vaguely recall that a Gift of Reasoned Eater had some leadership - but this wasn't something I actually paid much attention to.

Presumably it would attack its erstwhile troops when it...

Open Office is available on Windows, too.

But it's a chunky download for those of us who don't have Broadband. If you keep an eye open for a month or two there is generally a magazine with...

Re: Eater of the Dead?

As I understand it, it eats 'unburied bodies.' These can be generated by battles, by spells like 'Black death', by random events (I think) or by creatures who cause disease being in the same...

Re: Qs about national heroes and prophets

1) you'll get a message telling you when you can appoint a new prophet. If I recall correctly, it is about 6 turns after the Last one died.

2) Nope - dead is dead. The description of the...
