What if 4 global enchanments belong to you, and the 5th one belongs to an enemy. If you cast a 6th global, will it automatically attempt to override the enemy global, or is there a risk of overriding one of your own globals? In my current game, I have hesitated to cast another global for fear of killing one of my own like this.

Pretty sure I've taken one of my own out before, so - the odds seem 4 to 1 that you'd take out one of your own.

The spell can override an enemy, I had
five spells up and running last night.
Guess I got lucky.
(hmm, four to one, I might place
some bets on the horses today!)

hmmmm, not the best odds. Think I'll just stick with the current situation.

So what about dispelling one and casting out the other spell in the same turn, does that work?

It could, but the spellcasting order is pretty random. The mages always cast their spells in the same order in relation to each other, except when that order is reversed, but there is still that chance of it being reversed. Too costly, as it would cost you the cost of either a global or a dispel, both pretty hefty when all the global slots aren't enough anymore.

Um, doesn't it go in alphabetic order by nations? That's the way it went in Dom I as far as I know. At least movement phases worked so.


I think.

Yes, I think it would.
What I've done is dispelling first, then cast
my new globalspell the next turn, thus getting
five globalspells up and running.
Your idea though would save us one turn.
Sadly I will not have time to try this out
before friday or saturday.
