Nagas and other "lost" pretenders

Sorry Daynarr, I misunderstood you to have meant that dragons are cheap in general. I honestly hadn't even considered starting with a 9 in any field as a viable option, due to the extreme cost.

Hmmm, which indirectly brings up an interesting question. Do the special bonuses to holy troops stem from a Pretender's initial magic skills, or his current magic skills? Can you increase them with items or empowerment? What if you die?

Initial. Empowerment or death makes no difference.

Nerfix: 4 is the starting level for the lower effect. The power of the bless increases with levels. At ninth level you will get an additional power that does not change with level.

Ah. I thougth that you get the lesser effect at level 4, at level 6 the lesser effect gets stronger and then at level 9 you get the major effect.

So the effect(s) scale(s)?

So, are those bonuses to holy troops present in the DomI as well, or are you talking about DomII? If they are in DomI, where are they mentioned or listed?

Dom1 has a fixed "bless" bonus. +3 att, def, str, and mrl, if I recall correctly - no matter what magic the pretender has.

If someone could tell me... what is the bless bonus in Dominions II for a pretender with no magic?

P.S. I'd also really appreciate it if anyone knows the answer to this question:

Quote:

Oh, one thing I always wondered. If a dragon is in human form with 10 HP, and gets hit for 11 HP, will it die, or transform? And if the dragon form has 100 HP, but the human form is hit for 5 HP (and subsequently transforms into a dragon with 95 HP left)... does the pretender have a 5/10=50% chance of gaining an affliction, or 5/100=5% chance of gaining an affliction?

I think bless with no magic is just morale +3.
Also I didn't think Dom1 bless gave +3 defense.
