Second, Umbrals are summoned one at a time, so I doubt Boron actually fields all of them at once.

I plan to simply set about 20 Necros to monthly summon and once i have battlefield buffs + teleporters i use them then to take down large AI armies. Maybe i move them via stygian paths, maybe with some lucky tartarians which can astral travel. I have not yet summoned a tartarian in Dom3, so i dunno which randoms they can get. I hope they still have linked randoms like in Dom2 and that i can this way get some that can astral travel

Yeah the map is done by Jason Lutes. He did some excellent Maps for Dom2 already, but this map he did for Dom3 is imho even better. It is fair and beautiful

Hmm, mass attacks have never been Caelum's forte. Let's see how this all goes.

So Stygian Paths works now? :O

I thought a bit of funkiness is just WAD with Stygian Paths?

I once played a game with a friend of mine who was BE Ermor. In a last-ditch effort, he sent all his troops (Hundreds of them, pretender included) to attack my capital via Stygian Paths. Some 20 wights got through, only to dissolve without a commander when confronted by my PD. He lost the game that turn since he had literally nothing left after that.

OK, that's no more a bit of funkiness, it's lots of funkiness.

What he was probably aiming for was getting the game so funked up it won't be able to host, thus getting a draw due to technical difficulties

Last time I sent so many troops with so many stygian paths, it made the game hang while hosting.

Yes I once sent my bog mummy pretender via 'stygian paths' with a powerful army. The spell description says you might be attacked by forces from the underworld... and well I was looking forward to see if any unique creatures would attack. Needless to say there are no attacks... units and commanders are just killed without a fight. The spell is also bugged as the spell told me I had over 9 million units die.

I'm sure the spell has been tweaked somewhat, but if the spell description still says you can be attacked then an actual battle should happen instead of the game just killing units. Just never use this spell while playing Dominions_2.
