Obscure? Looking at something in the game to find out about it? I think that's as far from obscure as you can get. I mean that's the first place I would think to look.

It's logic like this that led to the Scientific Method. BAH!

No, it is kind of obscure. Needing to go through all the scut-work of setting up a game with every nation is silly. There should simply be a way in dom3 to view a nations recruitables. Like a step before nation design.

Tedious yes, obscure no.

*Heaven* would be an enhanced "choose your destiny"... ehm I mean in-game initial nation overview window - showing on the bottom the little icons of the recruitable units AND heroes AND the national summons avaible (something you can't really see easily in the "EA View" method), which you can right-click to see all your units-commanders-summons-heroes stats (and combine it with the manual's "grimorium" so you can design a proper pretender and come with a valid research strategy from the very first game) ^^...

...My dream - is to fly - over a rainbow - so high...

Sombre has a link to a Dom3 links thread in his sig. From there, you can find Sunray's site. He hosts a brief unit list document where you can find that sort of list, but it does not have the newere nations in it. Has Lanka for certain, but I don't know aboutthe other ones (Fomoria, Tir na n'Og, Eriu, Bogarus, SC Pythium and definitely not Hinnom, Ashdod and Gath unless it was recently updated).

The Dom3 DB does not have a listing of units by nation simply because doing a display page like that is far more trouble than it's worth at the moment. Too many other things to do at the moment.

Monkeyfinger,

Good point, StrategyWiki would be a good place for that information.

Eh, maybe if you're one of those people that can stand the idea of multiplayer turn-based strategy, the idea of being able to assign all nations in a game to human control might be obvious. For people like me, though, that's definitely an obscure option, and if I don't know it exists I can't use it to create a reference game.

This is now Monkeyfinger's all-purpose newbie questions topic.

My prophet got killed, why can't I crown a new one? I'm playing MA Pangaea.

It takes some time for the remnants of the prophet's power to leave the world. 5-6 turns usually, and then you can anoint a new one. You'll get a message when it's time.
