Well that's a shame - I guess even though I suggested a Dom II demo PbEM there are no spots left for me in it.

Oh well. Is there anyone else who wanted to play a Dom II demo PbEM but hasn't spoken up? If so, speak up! - maybe we can get 2 games going when the demo is released.

[BTW, in case you couldn't tell, I'm not really mad about not getting a place in the PbEM. ]

I could be persuaded to join a second pbem game.
Sign me up for Jotunheim.

Cool - You take Jotun, I'll take Ulm; who else will rise up to the challenge?

thanks, I will archive this part and forward it to my comrade Sunray (I'm rather confident he will maintains his virtual library for doms II as well).

You can already find a small Void Gate guide here, at the guides section.

Just went to your site. I reckon you have made quite a good fan job there! Now you just have to start a middle earth map with green elves dancing with female dwarves, and it will be perfect.

Seems I was wrong. 5% starspawns, 2% stargazer.

Based on damage recieved (chance = damage in percent of HP), unless you are cursed. Curse adds 25% to this chance.

As far as I know it's only the lance. [/QB]

3 thanks for the answers, especially if you looked back in the code to be sure.

and what is the effect of regeneration on affliction chance? divide by two ?

Goody! I'll go Abysia (I'm curious about the new "Blood of Hunams")

P.S. Let's give these titles - they can be "Dom2DemoPBEM1" and "Dom2DemoPBEM2", is that creative enough? I suppose PBEM1 and BPEM2 are sufficient...

The Giraffe is out today, but I checked on some things and think I can answer the couple of questions Kristoffer didn't have a chance to.

Any kind of Astral mage can enter the Void Gate at their own risk, but only one mage can be using it at a time.

Also, I've only been watching over the Giraffe's shoulder as she's been playing R'lyeh, but I think she at least sometimes (if not most times) gets results on the next turn. Maybe it takes additional turns at higher summoning levels? I'm not sure about that one, but I am about 90% sure I've seen her guys coming out with some of the funky, freaky Void critters the very next turn after being sent in.

Speaking of higher summoning levels, most of the mechanics are "under the hood" but there is a Summoning Skill ability (or something similarly named) that appears after successfully returning from a Void Gate expedition. It, when checked, will state the accumulated bonus that experience with the gate will give you in reducing the risk of insanity. Since the rest of the equation, it turns out, is straightforward, the math shouldn't be hard to do in one's head.

BTW, the array of Void creatures is really cool. There are some nifty, and suitably bizarre, units available through that. The risk of feebleminding a commander may seem high, but the results are worth it.

Also, there is a sacred unit for R'lyeh. I think Giraffe forgot to double-check the commanders. There aren't any sacred troops (unless hybreds are sacred, and I don't think they are) but there is a sacred commander: the Starspawn priest. He has a priestly power of 3, and is not only the only sacred R'lyeh unit, but also their only native priest unit. They also come with Water magic 1, a random magic pick, and cost 150 gold/3 resources. Not too shabby at all!
