[Nerfix]

Dominions II will propably have a load of new spells, but what they do?
Please tell us about some of the new spells!
What does Shadow Bolt and Assimilation do?

[Psitticine]

I just glanced through the list of new spells and I don't see anything called Assimilation. Do you maybe mean Imprint Souls, by any chance? That's a new high-level Astral spell that raises an army of mind-controlled converts within an enemy province.

Imprint soul is the new name for assimilation, assimilation sounded so trekkish.

Hmmmm OK, what does Shadow Bolt do?
Any nifty bloodsummons?

Ahh, the blood summons. They must be one of my new Favorites. Most of the high level demons and devils are unique commanders now that all have their own individual strengths. So if all 7 ice devils have been summoned there will be no one available until one of them is killed.

The demon lords are especially fun as they are most varied and have great special powers that can be both good and bad for your empire. It can't be all good to summon demon lords after all.

One of the Demon Lords is Belphegor the Lord of Hell. He spreads gold around him and fathers sell their children and their souls to the demon. They are then used as soldiers and blood slaves in Belphegor's growing army. This practice is quite bad for your pretender's dominion however.

I wont they thats the features are fun or cool, thats too horrible to envision ... would Belphegor accept the souls of chickens and pigs instead?
