Re: Been a while, any word on Dom 4?

Honestly real-time tactical battles would suck. With the number of units, squads and commanders you can put on the field, and the number of options many of them have, it would be a nightmare. If it...

Re: Unexplained battle ending

You definitely won, with the losses as reported in the summary and shown by the units still in the province. I'm not sure how you can tell how many turns the battle ran. What you see in the replay...

Re: Build times

Does having your fort-building commander get magically sniped really lose your investment?
I know losing the province does and I know you can swap out which commander is building, but I don't think...

Re: A Few Questions From a Newb

Forts actually increase the resources from the province as well as siphoning from the neighbors.

Re: EA Pan: What's wrong with this build?

Just a couple of thoughts, though I'm not an expert with EA Pan:

Blood on the pretender isn't really necessary. It's easy enough to empower a Pan to forge boosters. Nor is the minor blood bless...

Re: "Painless" Doc Jhonson, or how to kill your commander

Because 1) Wish doesn't do that.
2) Healing (except for GoH and the Chalice) doesn't work on undead.

Re: Quick Question: 0 Enc. SC

Except that the Earth Kings can already self-buff protection, so they don't benefit as much from the armor. They're usually better off with something that gives special abilities, but maybe not so...

Re: A nation from the same age in the same game multiple times - is it possible?

You can just ignore the PD bonus. It's a pretty minimal effect.

Or, as suggested, make all the nations copies, so no one has the PD bonus.

Re: Question About Mod Preferences

Even simpler.
When you load a turn from a game, it automatically turns on the correct mods. Assuming you have them, of course.

Re: Bug Thread: Discussion

Actually, I take that back, everyone (to a first approximation) gets a 1 encumbrance penalty underwater. Not just the unarmored units and not just the mages.

Nor is it limited to Atlantis. I...

Re: Bug Thread: Discussion

If I remember this correctly from my last EA Atlantis game, this encumbrance penalty only exists underwater.

I can't check right now, but check what happens when you get one of them on land.

Re: Enemy Dominion

Or do you get benefits from scales in neutral dominion?
Which is what you'd have after he dies.

Re: Enemy Dominion

It's a little more complicated than that, I think.
Scales have some effects whoever owns them.
The in-battle effects of heat/cold, magic/drain are always in effect.
Enemy luck supposedly works...

Re: davanas

Are 6 davana really worth giving up 3 dakini?

I'm not saying they're bad, but compared to the flexibility of a Dakini, I just couldn't see summoning them. Battle mages, teleporting/flying...

Re: Order of Hermes for MA and LA

I'd probably say 4 pearls. Remember Dark Knowledge is 3D, and you're saving mage time. You're not always going to be alchmizing, so lower number of gems does matter. It's not like D & N gems aren't...

Re: The best PD ?

What's interesting is that some of them can situationally good.
Caelum may have lousy PD in most situations, but against self-buffing raiders fliers are devastating. Pan is the same way, though...

Re: The best PD ?

I'd add the various Jotunheim nations to the worst PD contest.

Mictlan gets a split role. Below 20 it's horrendous, mostly because the Tribal King will charge forward to throw his javelin and get...

Re: Choke Mountains

Different nations play differently. Neifelheim has ridiculously strong cap-only units and very weak PD.

You will need a higher dominion score. I generally only build temples in forts. The...

Re: How to kit a merman captain

You'd be better off forging Amulets of Breathing and sending Hochmeisters in. Or wait for higher construction levels.

There's not really a lot you can do with trinkets and solo weak units.

Re: Making leadership matter

Conceptually it would be a great way to boost the weaker troops and force some hard decisions about recruiting commanders vs mages.
In practice it would be used to buff thugs, sacreds...

Not sermon, though I'd rather use Standard for that.

The other suggestions, Strength of Giants and Legion of Steel would be a bit much, I think. At least as an add on to an already balanced...
