Re: Troops vs magic, what am I doing wrong?

OK, so I tried thugging with Sidhe Lords, just to see how it would work out. First, I never got a chance to apply vine shields and frost swords to them -- I got sucked into an early war against...

Re: Troops vs magic, what am I doing wrong?

[QUOTE=rdonj;742583]Have you tried thugging? That sounds like something you'd feel is way too inefficient, but it works very well, and is really the best way to fight the AI. If you haven't and...

Re: Troops vs magic, what am I doing wrong?

Exactly, as I try higher difficulty levels, I just get swarmed by enemy troops, so I'm looking for strategies to wipe out his swarms. What I find is that most of the magic is geared toward taking...

Re: Troops vs magic, what am I doing wrong?

The way I'm doing the math is based on the observation that battles against the AI tend to be close to "all or nothing" affairs. If I come to the fight with 50 troops, and he has 100, I'm going to...

Re: Troops vs magic, what am I doing wrong?

Right, I can see at high level research there's a mess of battlefield spells that look effective, provided you can cast them against the enemy's army and not his PD. I seem to have a hard time...

Unhappy Troops vs magic, what am I doing wrong?

OK, this has been bugging me for a while, and I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I typically play SP against several Difficult AI opponents. No matter what I do, it seems like troop...

Re: Request: Settings or Mods?

A few things I find helpful with SP:

1) Slash gold to 50%. This prevents the AI from recruiting boring armies of militia/archer chaff. It also makes the initial game more interesting -- you have...

Re: Why was I permanently banished?

I find it's also often an easy way to conquer underwater races. Getting my troops into the sea can be difficult; with several temples, getting my dominion in is easy.

Re: What other games complement your Dominions 3?

Yes, the Dwarf Wiki was very helpful -- that's how I figured out as much as I did. But it was still pretty painful.

As for farming outside... well, that defeats the purpose. After reading the...

Re: What other games complement your Dominions 3?

Regarding Dwarf Fortress:

I've tried this game... I can't seem to get into it. Perhaps the learning curve is just too steep? Or maybe it is the too-open ended playing style. The text based...

Re: Death by Mind Hunt message

Well, this explains *how* the bug is happening... but not exactly *why*.

Why does the algorithm skip over sites with 2 or more known sites? Isn't the limit 4?

Re: Legions of Steel - can someone explain me this?

Regarding casting: the AI is looking to protect what it considers the most vulnerable troops first -- the caster, the archers, etc. The Bandars have a lot of HP so are down the list a ways.

Re: Historical Question

The better question is what is the biggest advancement from Dom3 over Dom1?

Random maps.

The reason I say this is because, as an SP player, I simply skipped Dom2. I was interested in gameplay,...

Re: Machaka and a W9 bless

So as far as damaging tough troops is concerned, a D9 bless (2AN) really is your best choice. And it's not half bad against chaff either. A D9F4 or D9F6 (taking fire for the increased attack bonus)...
