Worst Moments!

With Ulm, making a rainbow alchemist, 2 in every magic, sending him to search my first (non-capital) province, and having him find a disease spreading site. Discovering that he got a disease on turn 3, and would die long before I had any hope of reaching anything that could save him (gift of health, regen ring, anything), and thus lose 1 level in each magic path....

Hehe, that'll teach you to pick a pretender that is puny. Try the size-6 ones ...

Trying to create a pyromancer Moloch (high Evo) just to realize that the precision of most fire Evo sucks.

Is there a *good* Evo/Fire spell?

Incinerate is 100 Prec.

Oh, you mean Evocation? No, there isn't. But it always has Fire Storm.

My worst experience would have to be the first time I was using the Amon Hotep helm. As you all know the details and facts about artifacts/items in this game is shallow. Example: Many items you only find are cursed after equipping them because the description doesn't list the facts.

Anyways I decided to test out the artifact on a telestic animation statue in case it gave a surprise horror mark the way boots of the planes did. Which the boots of the planes said NOTHING about. I slide the helm onto one of the statues... no afflications or bad side effects. Then I discovered it can't be removed... again the description says nothing about that. Then I realized the mummification spell doesn't work underwater where this statue is at ! And guess what no description at all on the mummification spell either.

Items have a nice history but lack listing the facts. Being that this is a TBS game hopefully Dominions_3 will provide the facts first and the history/story second.
