There are magic sites that will disease units in the same province. You may have fallen foul of one of them.

Hi all,

A quick question on assasination : if I set an assassin on 'assasinate' on a province where lies a stealthy ennemy commander (a scout for instance), will the assasination occur ?

You can't use an assassin to assassinate an enemy unit that is hiding or sneaking.

this is sad

so the only ways to kill a stealthy commander are :
- patrolling the province (must own the province though) and hope I will find him.
- kill him if he is imprudent enough to reveal himself to fight.

You can also use Mind Hunt to kill commanders that are sneaking or hiding.

OK thank you! Not doing well with Blood yet, will leave that for a bit right now. ANd you were right -- my mages stopped casting Blink once I researched some better stuff. THanks!

I can't seem to find a document I stumbled on last week -- I am pretty sure it is not that Dom3DB xl spreadsheet I find easily, but it was a spreadsheet that "merely" listed all of the nations and their national units. I think it may have had pretenders there too. It was grouped according to nations. I cannot seem to find it, and my searches are sadly turning up that DomDB. Does anyone know what I mean and where I can find it? Thank you!!

It's entirely possible that there is another document with this info, but you can find it in the "Army List" tab of Edi's Dom3 DB spreadsheet (the search result that is turning up for you). See the "Units" and "Commanders" columns.

No, sorry, that is not what I meant. I saw those sections, and it is not what I mean -- those list the unit numbers for the nations, not an overview of those units' stats. What I had seen was also color-coded, a slightly different color for each nation, and I think the whole spreadsheet only had 3 tabs or so. I hope I am not mistaken and what I had seen was for Dominions 2.

Sunray's site has a version like you describe for Dom3, but it's several patches out of date.

I think I found that now, thank you Edi.
I have this CBM installed now, so everything is different anyway. I am not sure I like the CBM, even though I am certain it is great for everyone -- seems to make summoning much more powerful, so that national troops are less important. But maybe I need to play more!

I made three games, one with each Era, each with all nations, so that I can go in and hit "r" and see what everyone has. What confuses me is that R'lyeh has exactly the same setup for MA and LA -- or is my game screwed up?
