Or for abysian demon assasins give them bear-claw talismans, boots of giant strength and a burning pearl. 25 strength and 19 attack with 2 strongly poisoned daggers and flying (so they get the first attack) means very very regular enemies can strike back.

I don't like to load most of my demon assassins up, just because they aren't THAT good at surviving, and you can lose a lot of items (thus time and gems) that way. I think it's a better strategy to send a bunch in (commanders, not troops, or commanders screened by troops, however you wish, but regular troops don't seem to last long), but only concentrate on tricking out a few (however you wish), and sending that few-who will survive better, having been more concentrated on-in later waves. I always prefer to give unequipped-and even the ones I've completely pimped out if I have enough amulets lying around, because you can never have enough explosions-demon assassins amulets of retribution though. The idea being that they function as big fighting/flying/poisoning/assassinating/eating/drinking missles. BOOM.

Lifelong Protection spam is fun.

Get a bunch of commanders with good HP, give them LifeLong Protection contracts, maybe something so they can cast a spell (wand of Fireballs is a good choice) put them all the way in the back, and set them to cast. Individually, they aren't much. But if you bring in a staff of storms and twenty such commanders, well.....

Lots of communion slaves, and a master that casts Pheonix Pyre. Helps to have another master that casts Personal Regeneration and a non-communion master spamming Relief. Lots of repeating bombs all over the map.

LA Agartha has Flame Corpses. They explode. They are almost impossible to use, but they exist.

Cant spam relief in dom3, its a battlefield-wide enchantment that reduces around 1 fatigue per turn. Lifelong protection spam is fun but everything spam is more fun:
Take an assasin
Give him a bottle of living water, lifelong protection and skullface.
At the start of battle he gets a water elemental and imps everyturn+skullface lets him cast raise skeletons.

Now, I thought that the Medallion of Vengeance inflicted non-elemental damage, rather than fire damage. Anyone know for sure?

Teraswaerto · #17 November 26th, 2006, 08:16 AM

It was physical damage in Dom2.

I may be wrong but I believe that it atleast requires fire magic to forge?

In dominions_2 the black hawks were much less powerful and virtually worthless(besides patrolling with other flyers) once the ability to blood hunt with non_blood units was decreased via a patch. As a result I would spend 2 fire gems via items, magic_sites, and/or globals to forge the medallion and then send them in pairs to attack the enemy. Usually one as attack archers and another as attack rearmost.
Worked pretty good !
