Re: Temple Location

Depends on the stage of the game, I guess. Later on, it's not much harder to raid unfortified temples anywhere on the map, than on your borders.

It also depends whether you're trying a dominion...

Re: Bug Thread: Discussion

Even if the map files terrains don't match the picture, they should match what is displayed for province terrain. Not the map picture, but the icons in the province section.

Re: Temple Location

There's a formula in the manual. It seems to be correct. The thing that's in dispute is whether checks that fail to settle in enemy dominion propagate or die. The manual is unclear.

It's rare to...

Re: Temple Location

Yes. The only thing a Jade Knife changes is that it allows you to sacrifice 2 more slaves. The mechanics work just like regular blood sacrifice, which works just like 2 regular temple checks for each...

Re: Trying to improve my MA Abyssia Pretender Design

Actually, for Abysia, a little Fire, along with the more useful Death, gives you Flaming Skulls, which will also let you get the F4 booster. Access to primary path boosters is worth a few pretender...

Re: Trying to improve my MA Abyssia Pretender Design

But Prison of Fire is still precision based, isn't it. So it suffers the same problem.

Drakes & Elementals always seem to gem expensive for what you get. And it's not like you've got easy access...

Re: Trying to improve my MA Abyssia Pretender Design

Evocation is still good for Abysia if you expect to be facing large armies. A big enough target even your mages can hit and you don't have to worry about friendly fire. Fire Clouds can be quite...

Re: Even more questions

Re: Should banned user mods/maps/etc be deleted from these boards?

The warhammer mods certainly could be argued to be derivative works, of both dominions and Warhammer. That doesn't make them public domain. If anything, it makes them copyright infringement....

Re: Trying to improve my MA Abyssia Pretender Design

The situation with old age isn't quite that bad after the first year or so. Boots of Youth are Abysia's friend.

As far as mixed troops, my general approach is not to use indies with Abysia. At...

Re: A glance at Bogarus

To quote: Bogarus's big strength is gold and from that, more communion battlemages

More gold -> more castles -> more mages.

Re: How do I effectively use flying demons?

Ritual of 5 Gates is also good. You get one each of the basic demon types (Devil, Demon Knight, Storm Demon, Frost Fiend, Fiend of Darkness). They don't all combine well, but they're all useful, For...

Re: A glance at Bogarus

Though it's hard to get the needed boosters without pretender/empowering/lucky indies.
And you still need to get to N4 for GoR .

In fact, the only non artifact boosters you can make natively are...

Re: A glance at Bogarus

I was mostly focused on the midgame thoughts, so when I added the bit about end game blood completely slipped my mind. That changes everything, of course.
Blood supplies the SCs. Astral supplies...

More likely Cleveland just felt like poking the nest with a stick. You'll notice he hasn't commented after the first post.

Re: A glance at Bogarus

Thanks for this guide. It prompted me to play around with Bogarus, pretty much for the first time since it was introduced.

The uber-scales/overtax approach seems to work well. The start is still a...

Re: Should banned user mods/maps/etc be deleted from these boards?

I agree that those words were misused, since "public domain" has a specific meaning in copyright context.
Do you disagree with the actual point though? Do you think authors have (or should have)...

Re: Nerf

In fairness, thunderstrike is less useful in SP than MP. It's small area and fatiguing, while the AI tends to use large hordes of chaff rather than smaller armies of better units.

Re: Mega Battles

Doesn't really matter. By the time you're using thousands of troops, you're also buffing them so much they can't really hurt each other. Assume lucky, regenerating, protection 20+.

More than you have. Unless maybe you are LA Ermor. Thousands at least.

Isn't this point largely moot? Have any of the banned mod authors requested their work be removed? I don't recall seeing complaints about that on the other forum.
