Re: Castles and resource-sucking : a suggestion

A might be an interesting twist, but B strikes me as overkill for the nature of the game. Even if it were used just for a handful of provinces, I'm not sure it'd be worth the management time.

Re: Nagas and other "lost" pretenders

Me? I usually don't script them to any great degree. They do an excellent job of selecting their own spells in most cases. I will often give them orders to start off with a communion and/or use...

Re: Nagas and other "lost" pretenders

In a game I finished recently, the final battle was (suitingly) a clash between my pretender and the enemy. I was playing as a Bog Mummy and the enemy was a Blue Dragon.

My Bog Mummy ended up...

Re: Dominions II music&sound effects?

I wish it were, but I'm afraid the music isn't customizable at this point. I'm hoping that particular feature might make it into a patch/upgrade some day, but it isn't in the beta Version. ...

Re: suggestion about commanders

I can't say anything about Dom I (still haven't had time to try it out) but I can definitely second the AI's usage of scouts, spies, and assassins in Dom II.

I'm always swatting the little...

Re: Dominions II music&sound effects?

You can toggle off the music if you wish, and I think the medieval stuff is quite good. The metal battle music isn't really to my taste, but it is an interesting addition for those who would perhaps...

Re: Nagas and other "lost" pretenders

I tend towards liking pretenders with very strong magic in one or two skills rather than having it spread about, but I have tried the jack-of-all-trades type enough to know that approach works OK.

Re: suggestion about commanders

For now, I'm playing on the very small, quick-game maps since I'm trying to test as many nations, themes, etc., in the time left before the gold date. Because of that, I rarely try to take on more...

Re: Yet another "Wouldn\'t it be cool if…" thread

I would also think it'd be illogical for (to use your example) Ulm to recruit Arcocephalean Priestesses, given the cultural and religious differences between the two peoples. Most of the unique...

Re: Why such a high price?

There's no way to directly control magic targeting, but (from what I've been told and have read about Dom I) the AI does seem much smarter about where to put the protection spells in Dom II as well...
