I can see R'lyeh not getting new summons, given the Void Gate. But the lack of summons love for Machaka makes me a sad panda.

Also, is BE Ermor much in the way of fun to play in the MA? Is it pretty much what we've come to expect from the Dom2 BE (which I thought was pretty vanilla, truth be told)?

I sense that Shinuyama will be a favorite for many folks. Look at all those spells!
I like BE Ermor much more. The randoms don't add much (110%AWSD). They whole array of infantry from Velites to Standard Bearers, but they also have Slingers, Gladiators, and Lictors (in addition to Shadow Vestals). Lictors are sacred. They have Assassins, Centurions, Legati Legionis and Censors to lead their living armies, and Censors and the old priests and mages to lead the undead. Their priests are now more powerful: Holy 1 for Cultist, Holy 2 for Thaumaturg, Holy 3 for Grand Thaumaturg is very good for Dom3, and they have more holy spells than other nations. Apostacy is Holy 3 now.

Actually, I could've listed those as Ermor's national spells... Nah.

Any way, IMHO, they are pretty good now. Oh, Reanimation the spell, but not the priest-thingy, now gives them undead Velites, Legionnaires, Pricipes and Triarii.

Thanks for the list Endoperez...
do you know if modding will work to provide national spells for the nations which don't have any spells ?

Hopefully some blank/unused spells exist for modding.


============
Also has anyone tested to determine if the AI opponents actually cast the national spells ? Perhaps Gandalf knows.
I don't think spell modding has changed yet. Something might appear later.

AI opponents DO cast their spells, though. Imagine seeing that your opponent has some Magma Children on turn 15!
