Re: Earth and Magic Item strategy?

True enough, often I prefer killing them all off, particularly strong spell casting commanders. At this stage in my current game, I am dealing only with independents and militias, so I am very happy...

Re: Earth and Magic Item strategy?

I just got a national hero who is a rainbow, all level one. It is right up the alley I want to go, so I will have some fun with him.

Reserach was off to a slow start, but found a library in a...

Re: Earth and Magic Item strategy?

Arco earth death it is! Thanks for your input all, Endoperez has understood what I am thinking best, so I shall give it a whirl. In addition, Forge of the Ancients is good advice and the pointer on...

Earth and Magic Item strategy?

Howdy!

I was thinking of starting up a game with an earth based pretender and play with all the magic items. My thought was that if I am going to research to the top of the construction tree, I...

Re: Tips for A newbie Playing as R\'lyeh

The summoning is a bit hard to get used to, but it can lead to some middle and end game powerhouses, so it is worth trying. The first thing to do is to run a search on summoning or, alternatively,...

Re: Tips and/or suggestions for starting game

True, Ulm is very much classic heavy infantry, so it makes more intuitive sense to a new player. Also, the units are pretty durable and are more forgiving. Just stay away from a blood strategy,...

Re: Getting National Heroes - How Long?

So at Luck +3 you have a 6% a turn of getting a hero? That is double regular luck and three times Luck –1, so it is a big difference.

Of course, you have to combine this with your “real life...

Re: Tips and/or suggestions for starting game

One thing you might want to try is taking Ermor. In single player, they are pretty powerful and will give you a chance to learn a lot about the game while not worrying about getting run over right...

Re: Getting National Heroes - How Long?

The luck level directly effects the chances of a hero showing up. I remember being surprised at how big an effect it had, but regret I do not remember the exact details. However, if you boost your...

Re: Odd question about slow graphics

Thanks for the pointer, I had not had much luck with searches for "third party drivers." Over the weekend I took to using the w key, which turns off the back ground. It runs a lot faster, but is...

Re: Odd question about slow graphics

Odd question about slow graphics

I recognize this is an unusual question, but the graphics in battles are really slow…

Let me explain. I bought the game several years ago and played happily for some time, then moved on to...

Re: Just tried the demo...

Hiro,

Thanks for your reply. I got a chance to play over the weekend and thought I would pass along my thoughts.

First, the game itself runs at a decent speed, it seems the installer was my...

I downloaded the demo onto a USB memory stick and carried it home. Trying to install from there was very slow, I eventually control-alt-deleted out. It said it was verifying the install...

Re: Help a newbie play R\'lyeh

The lower level summons can give you a handful per successful turn. The real "beauty" comes with the high level summons, some of which can smash large armies all on their own. Gift of Reason them...

Re: A simple thank you

Re: Dominion Vs Military

One other point of note is that dominion spreads from the various points of dominion checking (temple, prophet, ect) and stops once it “finds” a place to effect. That is, it effects the...

Stormbinder,

Re: fire blessing lvl 9 : armorpiercing 8 ap fire weapons ? anti-vq strat discussing

Question to put into the mix. If the spell Mass Protection (or just Protection) is used, does it simply add to the defense rating? Does it then get ignored by armor piercing weapons? Or does it...
