That is strange. Why can the monolith teleport but the sphinx cannot?
Size, I believe. could be balance.
Either way its not a bug, its WAD.

I think I recall now trying to teleport the Sphinx in dom II, and getting some size related message. I had forgotten it.

Don't sell the war lobsters short. In the perpetuality game I (EA Oceania) went to war with MA Atlantis, and those lobsters were the only thing that gave me pause. With Triton knights with W9/S6 bless, and outnumbering the lobsters 1,5 to 1 (while the triton knights also cost a lot more) and with Thug support I defeated them without too heavy losses, but I think 1 on 1 they could have beaten my Triton Knights.

Exactly. do not think you need the wyrm for early expansion with lobsters.

Have the kings of the deep been nerfed since Dom1/2? They used to always get their randoms in the same path, so you could easily get level 2 in other paths... I haven't played them since Dom3 and the changes to the random system, though.

They still get matching randoms, in fact, they even have an extra 10% chance of a random now.

This is probably as good a thread as any to point this out; the answers to a question like this would be really well-suited for the woefully inadequate dominions 3 wiki (hint, hint).

If its inadequate then why don't you go fix it? (far less subtle hint, hint)

War lobsters are good for early expansion. Just use them as indicated in the manual.

This is off topic of course, but I'm the last guy you'd want to hear advice from on playing this game well.
