Re: Province Bonus to Magic School?

Maybe I'm missing your point or you're missing mine.

Not all your gems. Just the wished gems. You've still got all your other income. Though if I wasn't pressed I'd invest as much as I could into...

Re: Province Bonus to Magic School?

No. Once you rack up 80 pearls, you can wish for gems, alchemize and have 100 pearls. Put 20 aside (or don't alchemize them), use the other 80 to wish again. If you have another Wish caster, in 4...

Re: Site-search capital & Patrol Noob Questions

1) No. The only sites at a capital are the nation-specific capital sites. Events may add other sites, mines most often, but they will be visible.

2) I don't know precisely, but I rarely patrol for...

Re: Questions

Yes.

A mage can spend up to his path level in gems on a single spell. This includes 1 gem that may be spent to increase his effective level. (Path level includes boosters, levels from communions...

Re: Will there be a Dominions 4

I think that's the basic problem. Admittedly I don't pay a lot of attention to the gaming scene so there may well be some mainstream FTBS games, but 10% of a couple games is probably 0.

How many...

Re: Questions

IIRC, Flaming Arrows changed in a patch. It was F3 when the game was released and thus in the manual.

Re: Quick question

Difficult to do when you've got a gold based economy.
Which is not necessarily a good thing. Not being able to expand your money supply as your economy grows is bad. You wind up with serious...

Re: Wooden Warriors, Fatigue

Offhand, check magic scale in the province. If it's positive you get less fatigue for casting. I don't recall the amount, so I'm not sure that explains it, but it's a start.

Re: Will there be a Dominions 4

Oddly I remember hearing the same things at least a decade ago.

Including all the "it's just pretty pictures, where's the gameplay" rants.

A lot of it is Sturgeon's Law. It's also a matter of...

Re: Communion question

Slaves do not get the communion bonus. (More accurately, they get their paths boosted only for calculating fatigue from the master's spells)

They do get the benefits of any caster only buffs the...

Still, patrolling can help against dominion attack by finding and killing hidden enemy priests/prophets/heretics, which is what I think he meant.

If I'm right, they would only do that because there were nearby friendly sacred troops.

I've never seen this, but I've heard of it before. You may well be right about 100 Prec.

Very different from the standard Blessing missing though. That happens at short range, only with other...

Re: Failure to cast a spell

It tries to avoid using gems without need. This is too avoid tactics like breaking siege with a single scout when you expect to be stormed, in the hopes the enemy won't have gems left for the real...

Re: Failure to cast a spell

Since the example requires gems, the most likely cause is that the AI decided not to waste gems on that battle. Was the opposition weak?

Sure, maybe they attract chaff. I have no problem with that.
But using that to weaken them seems wrong to me. It'll just work to frustrate and annoy players.

Re: How to start a rain?

Storm. Also available with a Staff of Storms.

I'm not sure if natural rain works. I don't believe it does. There is a Rain spell as well, but that doesn't allow Storm Power.

It may have that effect, but it's stupid. Not necessarily from a mechanics/balance point of view, but from a "realism"/suspension of disbelief one.

Re: Blessing Question

Actually it's a little more complicated than that, though the basic advice is sound.

Bless is 100 precision. It will never miss its target. Sometimes it will miss the only sacred unit in the area....

Re: Bob the Vastness..... Dead to rights?

I just played around with BV and Frozen Heart and the results weren't what I expected. When BV triggered, the Skratti casting Frozen Heart took the damage, despite being cold immune.

Just pick your nation, then add 11 random AI opponents. It'll pick the right ones. (At least it has for me.) When you go to select nations you'll see that all the others are grayed out.

Re: Bob the Vastness..... Dead to rights?

Interesting. I haven't played with BV much.
So it's always a normal AN attack? Does that apply to other types of damage? Spell, elemental weapon attacks, etc?
I'm pretty sure I've seen BV stop...

Re: Bob the Vastness..... Dead to rights?

Does it just mean that when the damage is applied to them its AP so is more likely to get through their armor? Or does BV not work like that? I've never been quite sure.

Re: How does magic resistance work?

MR negates means he has to fail a mr roll to be affected. Everyone has some mr. The Antimagic amulet just gives a bonus.

You'll just need to spam the spell more times to fry his brain.
