Default Evil musings...

Just been having some evil thoughts on the Madallion of vengeance magic item, but I have never used it so far, as anyone got any details on it? Specifically area of effect, damage?

Feel free to guess my evil ideas concerning this item...

Also, why not share your side with the Dom3 community and tell us about your most evil tricks/tactics that you have managed to successfully carry out while playing Dom3.

Can involve any aspect of play, not just magic items...

Medallion of Vengeance is about like a fireball explosion, I think.

Phoenix Pyre comes immediately to mind as something that can be very evil to either friend or foe or both.

Bane Venom Charms on stealthy units can do evil things to rich enemy provinces. Of course, they can also be snagged by patrollers and used against you or your allies.

Laying waste to a rich enemy province with pillaging and then moving on in time for the enemy army to show up for battle and find you missing and shockingly few supplies left in the province when they arrive, is rather evil.

Assassinating enemy commanders just before a battle so that only half of his army shows up for combat is also rather evil.

The evilest thing I've really done was learned from this board. Cast Wind Ride in an enemy province and send enemy generals to a lab full of charmers.

That and, in Multiplayer, I like to mess with my opponent's heads by naming my undead generals after enemy generals I've killed.

Default Re: Evil musings...

flying scouts in some nations can be used as kamikaze attackers

nations with cheap assassins

sending a scout to the arena battles

none were very effective in Dom2 but I havent tested them in dom3

cheap F2 mages such as abysian mage/priests casting phoenix pyre could be nasty to disrupt enemy armies with the added advantage of their fire damage (i hope) explosion not hurting your troops (if its fire damage that is)

Default Hard to beat Swarm + Haunted Forest for silly evil

Does take high nature and some death, 'tho.

If you have immortal death mages, Summon Lammashastas has no downside other than cost of the gems.
