Scripts aren\'t necessarily followed...

...in particular, the tactical AI may attempt to conserve gems against what seems to be light opposition.

If it didn't do this, people would be able to deplete gem supplies via inexpensive...

Re: [request for help] unique provinces ideas

The Ancient Presence is from one of the more vicious and rare events in the game -- almost the entire population of the province dies, and the Ancient Presence leads a group of mandragoras or...

Depends, depends...

For instance... if you don't go with a scalemonster build, you might use a bless build, combat pretender, or rainbow mage... or maybe a caster. They're useful for different purposes.

A bless...

Seem to recall it being lifedrain.

At least, I seem to recall a Wraith Lord using it to some effect... but I might have been using Soul Vortex at the same time, which would obviously cloud that issue. :p

I don't think you can do this. While there are monsters in the game for which uniqueness is tracked (demon lords, elemental royalty, and others) and which is checked at both summoning time and map...

Problem with the 'guardian monster' concept is that currently, they don't. You can even let them automatically replenish forces (via Soul Contracts for free devils, for instance; or maybe one of the...

Dev style. It\'s their product.

Devs tend to have opinions about their own products. This being a product largely controlled by two devs, and it being a fairly successful one that isn't dominating their lives, their own opinions...

Earth Attack does.

Haven't checked whether Disease Demon does, but Earth Attack doesn't care.

\'Opposition\'

'Opposition' is the targeted anti-magic-unit spell; resist or take damage. It's also the effect on Elf Bane. Moon Blade does additional damage to magic creatures, but doesn't attempt Opposition, if...

Shadow Brand, maybe.

Shadow Brand looks to be a nice toy; it's one-handed, but of a sword length and not a dagger. It's armor-piercing, like the flaming weapons. And it's a small-area lifedrain (Leeching Darkness), so...

Iron Dragons are flying, unbreakable tramplers... but if memory serves, there MR is not that high for the research level, and you still aren't allowed to do a flying body slam.

Repeat request.

It\'d make a reasonable game configuration option.

Maybe even letting magnitude of events vary, so that the massively *good* events also aren't occurring for some period -- in this case, the price of the Luck/Misfortune scale would need to sharply...

Last I checked...

...anybody that can -wield- a life-draining weapon or cast Life Drain will receive the (limited) benefits.

However, if you smack something inanimate, you won't be healed or reinvigorated by it.

?0

It shows ?0 in this case because it's only a 10% random. If memory serves, if you get that 1-in-10 one-point bonus, there are four possible paths -- click on the question mark to find out which ones.

Elemental paths, crippling, ethereals...

Tramplers have difficulty trampling anything that's ethereal, and can't trample anything that's the same size or larger. It's not too hard to get etherealness.

Try, say, a Bane Lord with a Robe...

Aquatic nations should beware of Twiceborn.

Wight mages are not amphibious in any way.

Water magic no longer conveys the ability to breathe water, even to the caster.

End result: instant drowning.

It should also be noted that...

There isn\'t one.

It'd be rather difficult to 'fairly' price it, given how powerful it could become.

Large map, more players

If there are many more opponents (AI or not) and much more space, a bless strategy will likely become less optimal as the game will last long for (a) capital-only sacred units to become a smaller...

Earth is a potentially very valuable path for Ermor; most of the more common free-castle or free-income sites for magic provinces are Earth. A bonus 100-gold site will pay you 200 when taxed 200%...
