Patch v3.25 released! - Page 2

Well, two years ago we had skimpy girl ads for April's Fools, an idea so great that we still keep it in fond memories up to this day. So in all fairness there is no reason not to expect this additional spell. I, for one, welcome our new Markatan overlords.

I know you all think this is a joke, but if you look under conjuration as Bandar Log, there is already a Markata Swarm spell! :O

They must have slipped it in the recent patch and not said anything. I had no idea until it was actually used on me in the Scruntlefut MP game.

I think the Air bless thing is pretty cool, actually. It'd totally make A9 blesses more worthwhile. As is, 75% isn't enough to totally protect against massed air evocations, and the extra 25% doesn't do much except in very niche circumstances (sacred commander with a ring of tamed lighting casting Ironskin).

The link redirects me to youtube saying "this video is not available". What was it supposed to be?

Uh, odd. The link in the OP works fine for me. Anyway, it's good old Rick Astley

Regarding the "patch notes" I originally started with highly unlikely things for the comedy value, but then switched to more realistic changes so as not to spoil the joke immediately. Actually, the new Air bless is part of a long list of ideas I have to improve Dominions - not that I expect such drastic changes to happen by now

There was discussion about blesses on IRC many times. I think that best idea [mine! :P] was to get precision bonus from air bless, so it could be another bless for mages/archers.

That's another good idea.

To hijack this thread further, what about making the B9 bless more useful? It could grant bonus fatigue damage on each hit, like F9 and D9.

It could do literally anything and it would be more useful than it is now.

Not necessarily. Say, Berserk...
