Re: Is black plate worth it?

Ok, you're right. The whole point to my starting this thread was to focus. My bad.

How about a test against armor-piercing stuff? Low-level evocation fire spells, crossbows. Maybe it's more...

Re: Is black plate worth it?

Btw, at a higher level this point is pretty much moot anyways, at least when it comes to ULM's power. Let's pretend that black plate is highly worthwhile, and thus ULM has better infantry and...

Re: Is black plate worth it?

With that handy-dandy spreadsheet someone linked me to, and the wonderful rulebook, I took a look at what the fatigue penalty meant in practical terms. Note that the plate/chain prot values are...

Re: Assassin nations?

Thanks for the link!

Mictlan has summonable ones? That sounds pretty cool. :-)

I'll have to read up on black hearts.

Assassin nations?

Which nations have assassins? I know of machaka, marignon, and ctis (if memory serves). Any other nations have assassins?

Re: Is black plate worth it?

Can a spell remove an item and create another in its place?
Can a spell remove a unit and create another in its place?

If those two are too difficult, then black plate is doomed in the long run...

Re: Is black plate worth it?

They have sappers, so they can handle sieges.

I've been thinking about this overnight. If you want to fix ulm without adding new rules and staying within the general framework of the game and the...

Re: Is black plate worth it?

I think the biggest thing missing from the game that could change these things is terrain at the tactical level. Every battle starts with people forced to cross open ground in the face of ranged...

Is black plate worth it?

I like the MA Ulm *shtick*, but in practice I find them not so good. I think the reason is that so many of their cool looking units seem pretty useless in practical terms.

With all the missile...

Re: Spicing up the web site

I fully understand that. I'm not referring to the charts, the rules, the math, etc.

The nations chapter is flavor. Nothing about it is going to add significantly to piracy.

Spicing up the web site

I was reading the manual, specifically the nations chapter, and it occurred to me that these pages would be perfect if they were on the web. They supply a lot of flavor, and the developer notes add...

Re: Water magic on land?

I haven't played a lot, and have no MP exposure.

I did play ulm a lot in Dom II. I did that for the atmosphere, and had a lot of fun. Btw, the answer I came up with was not to mix arbs and ulms...

Re: Water magic on land?

Thanks all for the replies. So many things. :-)

I'm mostly concerned with the first 10-20 turns of the game or so. I find these set the tone for the rest of the game. I'm trying to find stuff I...

Water magic on land?

I've been playing ma tien chi on an all-land map. I noticed that a significant portion of water magic spells deal with being underwater (summon kraken, water breathing, etc).

Besides evo-2 cold...

Re: Random Maps

Thanks!

That means if I ever generate a neat random map, there is value in re-using it.

Random Maps

If I generate a random map using the tools (so I can customize the settings), does the map contain all the site placements, etc? Or is that added when you creae the game?

Re: New patch??

I would love to see MA ulm get a bonus to dominion spread. Make people struggle to keep the commoner's fear of magic out of their territories.

Hey all, I've been reading a bit about Dominions III and comparing to Dominions II, and I am on the fence.

Re: Big Problem - Unbalanced random events

2) Why can't "travellers from afar" decide to settle in...
