Re: Yet another new person with a question...

Well, I bow to your awesomeness. Though you'll note that I did mention skinshifters.
I'll concede that the javelin troops have some use. I've done roughly the same, though I used some mages and...

Re: what about the future?

And they're Shangri-La. The secret heavenly forums.

Well, I'd hate to corrupt that with us common folk. Good job keeping it secret, Gandalf.

Re: Yet another new person with a question...

As opposed to Neifelhiem, where you have essentially 2 useful troop types? Skinshifters and Neifel Giants? And Neifel Giants only if you've taken the right bless. Everything else might have some use...

Re: what about the future?

And then of course there's the meta question of whether you make more people angry by responding and explaining why you won't change your marketing strategy based on forum comments or by ignoring...

Re: what about the future?

Really? The vast majority of Dominions3 consumers prefer "graphics, the UI, the sound" over the "idea, concept, depth, content and whatever else makes for a high replay value"?

What the hell are...

Re: what about the future?

Even in the office chairs the reason you don't buy the 5 year old chair, is that they don't make it anymore. You don't get to choose between the most recent high-end design and the high-end design...

Re: what about the future?

Many products don't drop in price over time, if we're talking about product lines as opposed to actual things. Sure, two year old cars are cheaper than this year's model, but that's because the...

Re: what about the future?

I have to agree on the Next commander thing. Commanders on defend, siege and hide stay in the rotation, which is good because those are the default orders in their situation, but it's bad because...

Re: Pretender design for Yomi

Dom 3, especially with a sleeping pretender and poor priests is risky, even in SP. In MP it would be suicidal.

Re: New to Dom 3

The standard Neifel bless is E9Nx. Water might be nice, but isn't really needed. The cold aura kills, not the axe strokes. Regen, reinvig and the extra protection keep them alive long enough for the...

Re: Arcane Nexus

It's 1/4.
I reconcile the description as "captures half the gems used and converts them by alchemy to pearls." Converting them cuts the number in half again.

Re: Do I miss something?

No real storyline in Dominions. No plot, as such.

There's history, though. You get to see it in little bits and pieces in nation/unit descriptions. Many of the nations have shared history, much of...

Re: New to Dom 3

The F9W9 imprisoned pretender works for Mictlan because they have good cheap recruitable everywhere sacreds, plus sacred summons. (And even then it's a great bless against the AI, not so much against...

Re: Do I miss something?

Yeah, that's basically it. The first part of the game is very similar, since you're fighting indies. Unless you get rushed or rush someone.

After that, having some basic idea how to build thugs...

Re: New to Dom 3

I'd avoid the VQ, especially in vanilla. Far too expensive for what you get.
With Mictlan, take whatever chassis you can cheaply get a W9F9 bless with high dominion. Recruit nothing but mages and...

Re: Arcane Nexus

No. Partly because it doesn't collect from Astral (or Blood) spells.

Mostly because it doesn't give you anything on the turn it's dispelled.
Which is OK, because it does collect on the turn it...

Re: New to Dom 3

Though I would suggest some version of the Better Independents mod for SP. It changes the costs of some of the more useless indy troops so the AI won't recruit them. You see armies with a lot more...

Re: Arcane Nexus

It doesn't change the cost for other mages casting.

It just grabs half the gems after they're used, converts them into Astral pearls and gives them to you.

Re: Dominions 3 Digital Download or Physical Copy?

I was, of course, asking for a legitimate way. I've got the printed one, pages torn and stains and all. I was thinking Shrapnel could offer the PDF free (or cheap) to existing customers. I'm sure I'm...

Is there a way to get the PDF manual without buying another copy? A searchable manual would be nice.

Re: Couple of questions about The Ankh / Life After Death

1) There were a couple of items bugged that way. I believe those have been fixed. The Gatestone is the one that I remember.

2) Works like any other in battle forced transformation, I assume. I...

Re: Permanent sub for LA TC needed

Well, if winning isn't an option, I guess I can't really lose to badly.

If you're still looking for a sub, I'll give it a go.

It doesn't look like TC has enough to work with to make the...

Re: OT: Starcraft II and Elemental

I think that's the point. Why have an open beta if you're not going to listen to the feedback? Is there a mechanism for suggestions from the beta testers to "be sent to the publishing company"? Or is...

Re: Ageless Olm coldblood?

Freezing inflicts more fatigue and also att/def penalties.
This is in addition to fatigue from just being in the aura.

As Nikelaos suggested, I suspect the main reason the chill was more...

Re: Ageless Olm coldblood?

50% CR isn't enough to prevent fatigue from cold effects. It should lessen it, but neifel chill auras are very strong.

If he was cold blooded, he'd pick up extra fatigue just from fighting in cold...
