Re: AI - The Artificial Idiot

"Summon" would be a nice addition to "cast offensively" and "cast defensively".

Sometimes you want the ever-growing horde of undead. And sometimes you're just getting one more phantasmal warrior...

Re: AI - The Artificial Idiot

I'm not sure what "higher or lower in consideration" means. As near as I can tell, the spells the AI tries are given ratings based on their likely effects. My assumption is the way to change this...

Re: AI - The Artificial Idiot

I've looked at the debug log data quite a bit and it doesn't really seem to help with understanding why the AI does what it does. It shows which spells it considers and what ratings it gives them,...

Re: How does Growth scale affect old age?

I didn't see it either. There's a section on the effects of magic paths on max age, but not on scales. Doesn't even give the decreased chance of afflictions (or is it only of disease) from Death...

Re: Taxing and Patrolling... is it worth it?

To take the extreme example, with LA Ermor's death dominion you want to overtax everywhere. The peasants are all going to die anyway, get some money out of them while you can.

Re: updates

While support has been great, that log shows the last change in August and the last actual patch in February. That hardly addresses the question of whether there is still support.

Re: Nerf

It doesn't work against humans because it's not hard to make a teleporting or flying thug that can take out any amount of PD without any real chance of dying. Or mages to do the same. So your huge...

It is. Any form of quickness. Even the bless or heroic forms, though they won't give the second attack every turn.

Re: Help Design my EA TC Setup?.(CBM 1.71)

No. Like many other things in Dominions it goes randomly by either nation ID or reverse nation ID.

In practice, it seems to know which I'd prefer and do the opposite more often.

Re: Nerf

I'll never get the AI to beat my 125 PD, because I'll never be able to afford that much PD, even just along the borders. If you wait to expand until you've got ~8000 gold per province, you'll never...

Re: Help Design my EA TC Setup?.(CBM 1.71)

I'm not sure what you mean by the first question? In battle the defender always goes first. Assuming this is an indy province, you'll always go second.

Re: Actions for province with a fortress...

I think everything other than patrol stays inside.
The advantage of patrolling is you get to fight with your PD and you never actually lose the province.
The disadvantage is that anyone you have...

Re: A newbie asks...

The primary use of forts is to recruit mages or to guard valuable provinces (chokepoints or very good magic sites). But mostly for the mages. Therefore, you usually want the cheaper/quicker forts....

Re: Vote

I agree that removing the magic and making them cheap to empower removes much of the interest that comes from the diversity.
Being able to get the magic you want on the chassis you want, as long...

Re: Nerf

I haven't tested this strategy, but I have some questions before experimenting with it.
Do you start by upping the capital province to 125PD before trying to take another? If you want to do that as...

Re: Vote

Most of what you suggest can't be done.
I don't believe you can remove the Forge's discount. I know you can't actually change the gem-generating properties of items. You can remove them, make them...

Re: Vote

Because Van and Eriu especially rely on thugs much more heavily. They use them where many other nations use troops and/or battle mages.

They're also non-capital thugs. A nation using capital-only...

Re: Province Bonus to Magic School?

Well, this particular thing yes.

You could either remove wish or raise it's cost.
Or you could remove the site.
You can't, as far as I know, change what you can wish for or how many gems you...

Re: Vote

Or gear is just as important, so you use less gems on spells and forge just as much gear just at a higher price.

What it really does is raise the cost of gear relative to other uses of gems:...

Re: Province Bonus to Magic School?

No. It's a discount. 80 gems to cast.
If you wish for gems, you get 25 of each gem type. In theory, you alchemize them all to pearls. 25*6 = 150/2 = 75 + 25 pearls = 100 pearls for which you paid...
