Re: A Simple Way to Check Premade Pretenders?

Yeah, that would be good. I typically start some test SP games before I start a PBEM game, but in the current setting, this means using the counter-intuitive "create pretender god" interface. Some...

Re: Thanks for all the fish!

I'm not sure I like the idea of upgrading my distribution just because of this. I specifically selected 6.06 because it was the "long term support" version; I'm pretty sure there isn't much in the...

Re: Thanks for all the fish!

Update: I checked that patch 3.06 didn't patch any files that 3.04 didn't, and went back to 3.04. Now I can apparently play, but I won't be able to play correctly in my MP games if they go to 3.06,...

Re: Thanks for all the fish!

I'm not sure I understand what happened correctly, but if I do, I'm extremely unhappy: apparently patch 3.06 requires libc 2.4, as can be seen from this error message when I try to launch it:

Re: Thanks for all the fish!

Did the new patch change any versions of libraries it requires under Linux? I just patched, and the game won't launch anymore... (I, very stupidly, overwrote the previous files before testing...

Re: How long does it take to win

Man doesn't get cheap temples anymore, does it? Or is there some age in which it does?

Actually, even stealth preachers have a hard time with dominion killing - what can work is having a huge...

Re: Painful sound effects

Generally speaking, I either play Dom3 with no sound, or just the music, or headphones. The sound effects are not exactly the most soothing out there, and my girlfriend sometimes wants to hear her...

Re: Mercenary Recruitment Question:

Yeah, that's where I learned aboud Dom:PPP. I think it was a post by Gandalf; I downloaded the demo, ordered the full game, and I'm not sure I ever finished a game. But when I learned about Dom2, I...

Re: Upkeep for summoned units

Yeah, not having the upkeep cost appear anywhere in-game is really a stupid oversight.

Re: Mercenary Recruitment Question:

I can assure you it's not you. It's not even me (at 37), and by a wide enough margin I'm sure.

Re: Another feature request - battle screen!

Ugh - I didn't even know that. Sounds cool - I was looking for other icons on enemy units, but never thought to click on the candles.

Re: blood noob question

I don't think any of the Mictlan summons have Holy 3; at least in MA, they Blood-7 one (requires B4 to cast, costs 101 slaves, autogenerates sacred flying demons) is only Holy 2 (pretty important...

Re: E9 bless buggy with Abysia ?

Back in Dom2, there was a "diminishing returns" protection formula, where protection values didn't exactly add up together. Putting, say, a 10 prot. armor on a creature with a 10 natural prot. didn't...

Re: help - Arcatta

Wow - turn 15! I never really tried to finish as fast as possible (I tend to be on the extra safe side, occupying cities before any attempt on the target), but that looks pretty good.

Re: Why no Save game Feature

I don't quite understand what you're trying to say here, sorry. It looks like you're implying that not taking video games too seriously is, in a way, denying reality. If so, yeah, we don't exactly...

Re: help - dwarf3 - bridge

Yeah, like Ming says: just build enough Snipers that anything that tries to cross the river dies quickly. Camp high-influence units on gold mines, and the AI will simply waste its resources on...

Re: A few interface tweaks?

Adding that many damaging effects to Afflicted would really make them super strong. As they are, they're pretty good already (even though I don't like to play them, 'cause I don't use the...

Re: AI Challenge

Orcs is probably the race the AI is worst at - instead of expanding on Raiders, which pay for themselves while influencing cities and are not bad at all stat-wise, it concentrates on building the...

No, it means it's a plastic spiral holding it like a book. What this means is that the manual will lay perfectly flat when opened on any page, which, with a regular binding on a book of this page...

Re: Why no Save game Feature

Err, I don't know... because a simple reality check should tell you that there is nothing to feel "superior" about in being a fan of a video game?

Re: Why no Save game Feature

Agree here. Something else I'd live without, is the superior attitude of so many Dom players when it comes to this kind of feature. "It's not how the game is supposed to be played and enjoyed, you...
