Re: Hammer of the forge lord CBM

Then that, also, is a mistake in the CBM forging guide, n'est-ce pas?

Re: Ashdod is worthless now

My issue would be that the principal behind CBM was, I thought, to reduce the number of "useless" units each nation has and encourage diversity. This change does the latter (because Ashdod becomes...

Re: Casting Earthquake with an Ancestor Smith

Earthquake requires E4 to cast.
Earthquake also requires the use of 3 earth gems to cast.
A spellcaster can only use a number of gems equal to their level in that path, so an E3 caster can only use...

Re: Mage/Commander Numbering Questions

The auto-cast thing is the advantage for Crystal and Slave Matrix, and for the Crystal Shield, too. As with anything, it has to be balanced against the mage-turns and gem cost, but it's handy to have...

Re: Does Temple Boost Holy for Call God?

I never claimed that you could not preach in enemy provinces.

I said that preaching in a friendly province with a temple had a greater effect. Am I wrong?[/QUOTE]

The confusion was whether by...

Re: Dominion Influences and Shifts

That's a usual way, but it's not terribly useful when your dominion is already over 4 in the province, as it's likely to be in your capital.
You get unrest in provinces you own that have enemy...

Re: Conceptual Balance Mod v1.92

EA Oceania has the Oceanian Captain recruitable twice.
Is that intentional?

Re: Fatigue 100- ?

So, to roll things back to something more common, an A5 caster with 5 air gems could cast Wind Guide with an effective level of A6 (net 1/5 fatigue), but could reduce fatigue by a factor of 1/8 by...

Re: Fatigue 100- ?

The most pearls you can use on an 8-pearl spell is 9, so the 10th pearl would be pointless. At most one gem can be used to boost caster level.

You could still use a communion. A really big one,...

Re: Fatigue 100- ?

Right.

Having a D4 mage cast one spell and nothing else the rest of the battle is kind of painful, though. Especially if he's mortal and gets surrounded by harpies or imps that take him down when...

Re: Fatigue 100- ?

Biggest reason to avoid punching fatigue over 100 in one spell is so that the mage can do something else during the battle, up to and including run away.



Communion masters casting spells can...

Re: Fatigue 100- ?

No, thejeff's answers match what I thought I said. He just streamlined it and emphasized different stuff. I added the AI confusion.



Clarify it so:
1S caster has one pearl and is scripted to...

Re: Fatigue 100- ?

100 or more fatigue is inaction. 200 or more is "extra applied against your hit points." Increase critical chance starts pretty much immediately, but isn't significant until fatigue gets over about...

Re: Killing Indi Commanders

Poking around, the wiki entry for Lord of Night had that material added by "Lch" a while back, but endorsements of using that pretender as an assassin date back to the Dom2 board here. There are a...

Re: Just making sure

Enemy capitals are often prioritized low by the shift-M spells because they already have multiple sites, but eventually they will rise to the top of the priority list, unless there happen to be four...

Re: Just making sure

It is possible. I have seen it happen, generally with luck scales IIRC. Mines, usually.

But yeah, don't site search capitals.

Re: Killing Indi Commanders

Assassins work well on elephant provinces when you have expensive troops that are hard to mass early in the game. For example, Abyssia can send an assassin to knock off the commanders of an elephant...
