If the banefire's Decay effect is not resisted, there usually won't be any "after the battle" for the affected units.

At least in Dom 2, Decay was survivable IF you had very, very high regeneration and base hp, but otherwise, you'd die -- it'd iterate through turns of damage and kill you.

It ages the target in Dom3. I don't know how much, but I quess it won't kill now, at least not directly.

Yah, noted that in the manual last night. Less guaranteed-kill... and if it's solely age-based, it's less universal. Used to be that Decay would kill undead, too.

Not that the game is lacking in instadeath or near-instadeath... high Blood seems to have gained some very, very nasty spells that would seem useful for sending an enemy SC to Hell (literally).

Cocythos is better. They'll be stuck in ice for all eternity, and if they are big enough traitors Satan (or is it Shai'tan, Enemy of Gods and Men in Dominions?

) will chew on them for all eternity.

Am I understanding properly that nations with heat/cold scales are good things, since your Pretender would set his heat/cold scale up or down, thereby gaining extra points to spend on things? For example, Abysia wants a heat scale of +3, so your Pretender sets his heat scale to +3 and gains 120 points to spend on other stuff.

Yes, they are very good things.

How can you tell which nation's buildings can build whatever outside of the capital. Specifically, which nation's non-capital labs can produce mages?

Agrajag · #7 October 11th, 2006, 06:26 PM

Bear in mind though that your dominion can screw up other people, and their dominion can screw you up.

Capitol-only units have a site that allows their construction (sort of like horse's vale. It was common in the Dom2 Demo, but I haven't actually seen it in Dom3 yet...).

Right-click on a site and it will tell you what it allows (it will only allow it for that nation, though. As opposed to other sites, which allow it for everyone). Alternatively you can build a second castle and see what doesn't show up.
