Hey, Kair I have a question. Playing as C'tis, is it wise to make a pretender with 9 death/4 earth magic?

If you think that Serpent Dancers/Sacred Serpents/Tomb Wyrms with Lesser Fear and Life after Death/Fear and extra reivigoration are worth it, then it is. You also get Bligth, a cheap province bLasting spell and Blade Wind. You can also convert Earth gems to money and it is easy to build armies from Undead units with spells like Reanimation and Summon Shade Beasts.

I dont think life after death apply to Tombs Wyrms, they are already dead.

Thanks for the help guys.

Oh yes I have one more question. [I am dumb noob

] How can I bless my units? Also I can bless all units or ?

I wasn't aware that Ctis had strong sacred creatures so I wouldn't have thought death 9 would be a powerful option. All your sacred creatures who you are giving fear to are archery bait and given how commen indie archers are . . . Life after death would be cute for turning all your living into dead so versus the ai why not. Part of the fun of playing the AI is designing a heavily thematic race. However Ctis doesn't strike me as the ideal race to do this with - but then I'm new to Dom II so who knows what I've missed.

Niefelheim Jhotun with Death 9 - so your terrifying giants come back round again - would be cute. Especially if Death 9 has signifcant other advantages which I simply don't know for sure at this point. I do seem to remember that a number of undead summon rituals used to be boosted by high death.

Forgive me for doubting you DominonsFan but I wonder if this is a trick question designed to see if I'm an idiot - if it is serious you will have to spell out your idea's more as its a subject I'm interested in and if you got some good idea's going . . . spill it out man.

Ctis is going to be my next race choice as I've always had a soft spot for it and the Tombs theme looks really entertaining. However the high demands of family life make the process of learning slower than I might like.

cheers

No, I am really a noob, and you looked like an experienced player.

Okay, now can someone please help me? How can I bless my units? Or it is working automatically? (Bless effects via the starting magic)
