Update To Version 3.08 Of Dominions 3 Today!

[Velusion]

Wow.. the biggest changes for MP:

* Mirror image (and glamour) does not protect units from missiles or magic.
* Blade wind reduced # o e
* Flaming arrows increased path lvl.
* Sloth scale -> 15% / step

All good changes IMHO

[WraithLord]

Wow, Many thanks to IW!!!

[Rasit]

* Can use monthly cast multiple site search spells of the same type.

Does this mean that I can take three earth mages and have them all cast Gnome lore as a monthly ritual without having them cast it on the same province?

[Morkilus]

I can't wait to try the new nations! Thanks for the patch.

[JaydedOne]

This is a stunning patch, in all the right ways. Especially if the site searching fix works the way I think it does (can't wait to get home and try it!)

I'll be curious to see how the Mirror Image/Glamour change affects people's thoughts on Helheim/Vanheim and who the new "uber" nation in each Age will be determined to be now that blessed 'heim units are no longer quite so butch.

Yep. Awesome!

[Jazzepi]

Does this exclude provinces that have already been level 4 (or higher) site searched by a normal mage?

There is other batch of changes that shouldn't be forgotten when discussing the glamour change:

* Light weight scale mail increased res cost.
* Svartalf home only

Many of the better Vanir units and commanders used Light Weight Scale Mails...

I assume that everything else in the site-searching will be the same.
Can anyone verify?
It will exclude provinces that have been searched (to any level.) What about provinces being searched that turn? (Probably not.)

It will exclude capitals. (Actually it currently sometimes searches capitals and excludes other provinces for obscure reasons. Hopefully, now that all site searching can be done with monthly casting, it'll be easier to detect a pattern.)

It'll be interesting to see if some of the other weirdnesses , mostly involving taking or losing provinces, have been addressed.

I can confirm that the bug where you could get a save file where right clicking on a province ended the turn is fixed, even though it is not explicitly mentioned in the patch notes. My very fun game is playable again, hooray! Thanks Illwinter and the testing crew.
