Just an idea of mine - the Dom3 Q&A thread

Follow-ups to above:

Q1. Hmm, if the indies aren't going to change, would it be possible to patch in a greyed-out "ghost" display, as a "last known recon" for previously explored provinces (this is more for the devs obviously

)? I see what you were going for there though. Still, I'm nervous not knowing what's in the province that's just 2 away from my castle.

Q2. Unfortunately my LCD only does 1280 max, but even that helped - turns out I was at 1024 by default.

Q3. I should've figured there was a counter (and a counter's counter I'm sure)! It's just that Banishment looked soooo powerful!

Q1: What's the effect of Death weapon? I don't totally understand this "2 an + mr". I suppose the an = armor negating and mr = magic resistance.

Q2: Death curse effect is always to curse the slayer of the blessed unit?

Death Weapons do Armor Negating damage that can be resisted.

Death Curse has a chance to curse the slayer of the blessed unit.

Question: Any troops that are there as a result of Province defense is in ADDITION to any troops there with a general correct?

Example: I have a small 5 person army there but a PD of 10. I get the 10 soldiers for the PD of 10 in addition to the 5 person army there.

wahoo

When attacked, yes.

Yup. Even troops without a commander will participate in province defence (so if you lost your commander conquering the province, the left over troops will join the PD defence when attacked).

Troops detaching from commanders

After winning a battle, I've found occasionally found troops from the army in the same province, but no longer in a squad under their previous commander. The battles were won, no commanders were lost or retreated.

I've also not noticed this and moved the commander on without all his troops. That's annoying.

Just occured to me: Is this new behavior for troops that route, but don't leave the field before the battle ends? If so, I don't like it. It adds micromanagement for no real effect. You just have to remember to check Army Setup in each province with a battle.

No, it existed in Doms 2. If troops rout of the field, then they end up detatched from the commander (in Doms 2, they'd usually end up in a different province).
With the new leadership stuff in doms 3, you'll probably see this a little more often than your used to (well, unless your Ermor

)
