Hilarious R'lyeh Dreamlands moment (SPOILER)

[JaydedOne]

So... tonight I sit down to my first game of R'lyeh Dreamlands and LOVE it. I can't begin to tell you how great that Domain effect is at Dominion 10. Fodder aplenty with tons of Void Gate spawns showing up all over your Dominion free of charge (without Summoning mishaps even!) You also get a ton of free commanders, albeit insane ones who Ftaghn a lot.

But HERE is the REALLY cool part...

wait for it...

So, one of my insane hybrid cultist leaders was sitting around, doing insane things, when he decides to "Become Prophet". "Aw, how cute," I say. But I already have a Starspawn Prophet, so I figure it's just a wasted action. Then, the next turn, I see a proclamation stating that said cultist has become my Prophet! WHA? I go and check out my Starspawn Prophet. Yep, still there.

So, yes. I'm not sure if it's a bug or not, but R'lyeh Dreamlands is capable of having multiple Prophets.

They win.

That's the side I cannot wait to play! Is there a pretender like C'Thulu to go along with the R'lyeh?

I've never played D2 except for the demo version, so I'm really itching for that game to arrive.

Maybe tomorrow... or the day after... grrrr.

[JaydedOne]

Well, there's no Cthulhu-type Pretender per se (although the illithid starspawn troops more than make up for that) but the Void Lurker looks more than a bit like Nyarlathotep. ;-)

I always liked to name the ancient kraken pretender Cthulu. He's got all the really essential features.

Interesting.

Y'know, my warped mind is wondering whether it's still possible to have multiple prophets through either Enslave Mind + Gift of Reason, or Hellbind Heart -- if memory serves, the prophet flag was not cleared by such spells in Dom II.

Granted, an insane prophet that spends most of his time dreaming may not be a very valuable commodity, but still.

[Nerfix]

Sounds buggy.

Yes, it was possible, but only to insane players such as Nagot Gick Fell or such !

I just played my very first game of Dom3 as Dreamlands last night, and if I understand the rules correctly, it was amazingly helpful...

I set up a random small map game against three mighty AIs; I wasn't sure if dominion strength mattered, but I decided to try with 10 to see the effects. I took out Abysia with no trouble, and I was eventually able to grind down Patalia, but by that time Caelum held half the map and had fortressed off much of it. My armies were bigger, but Caelum's were much better, and I was trying desperately to find something that would work when I realized that my dominion was spreading incredibly rapidly through the map - I had been averaging maybe a prophet every other turn since the midgame, and by this point I probably had more temple checks each turn than there were provinces to build temples in. Four turns of just hitting "next turn" later and I ascended; Caelum just couldn't compete with that much spread. This wouldn't matter in a multiplayer game, but it was very funny to watch.
