Re: Starting setup for LA Ulm

Followup - I find that the vampire troop types invariably tangle with the Lammashtas, diluting the punch of either approach. On the other hand, troopless Vampire Counts invariably run away after...

Re: LA Ermor - myth, legend, or overrated tripe?

I don't hear people making the same sorts of comparisons about LA R'lyeh. Same killer dominion, fewer problems for invading due to starvation, but on the other hand invading commanders invariably go...

?s on $$ Summons, Universal Nationals

1. Is there a standard list of what summons cost cash to maintain? Everyone knows trolls, apparently Mandahas, what else?

Re: Are heavy bless strategies the best ones ?

Re: Starting setup for LA Ulm

I definitely use a mix of Vampire Lords and Mound Fiends for my D3 needs. It's 77 blood for the Lord, vs 65 blood and 10 death for an item boosted Count to reach the same levels, the Lords obviously...

Re: Blood Nation Woes

If you're having trouble with bless, LA Ulm might be a good place to start (in that they don't use it).

You might also try MA Abyssia for a low bless blood hunter nation - ridiculously good fire...

Re: Blood Nation Woes

Blood magic is a summoning school, by and large, with some amazing direct attacks (x3 rain of toads = 120 unrest = enemy fortress can't produce any more troops and takes massive income hit, infernal...

Re: Offensive Rituals vs Summoning?

You can definitely triple up on rain of toads to instakill an enemy's unit production, severely hurt gold productions, and slam them with misfortune (which may cause further economic chaos). That's...

Re: Starting setup for LA Ulm

Shovah - on reflection, thanks for the pickup on fountain. I've been running a B6D3F2N2E2 Dom 7 sleeping fountain with Order 3 Misfortune 2 Growth 2 Magic 1 and he's working pretty well.

Re: New to Dom 3 - Seeking Advice

It's not something you do for long periods of time, but the one-turn hit is not usually too bad compared to the rewards.

Re: New to Dom 3 - Seeking Advice

I started out pretty recently - decemberish? and am still learning a lot. It's a deep game. Of course, I really enjoy about half the nations and generally don't like MP games, so my learning curve...

Re: Starting setup for LA Ulm

Re: Starting setup for LA Ulm

1. Zweihanders over the heavy infantry with tower shields? I'd think the latter has much more survivability in most cases - are the Zweihanders there as super meatshields or to actually do damage? ...

Starting setup for LA Ulm

So I've had a bug in my ear around LA Ulm since Frank Trollman mentioned them as an excellent LA bloodhunting nation in a post of mine. I've tried a couple different starting builds for them but am...

Re: EA Mictlan Setup - Q\'s from a noob

I always preface my comments saying I don't play MP. I don't play MP.

I like Turmoil/Sloth/Luck 3 Heat 1 Growth 2 Magic 1 for Mictlan. I think with an Imprisoned Smoking Mirror this lets you...

Re: Question on Casting Dome Spells

I think I've heard of people casting Dome of Corruption as a trap (on a narrow chokepoint - force your enemy to walk through the Dome to get to you). Besides that, I haven't heard of any other dome...

Re: I hate horrors
