Worst Moments!

Incinerate is 100 Prec.

Oh, you mean Evocation? No, there isn't. But it always has Fire Storm.

attacking a indie province with 3 leaders (all abysian warlords) and some troops only to route when theyre 2/3's on their way to the enemy only to have it repeat and do it again(first territory i attacked too....):thumbdown:

My worst experience would have to be the first time I was using the Amon Hotep helm. As you all know the details and facts about artifacts/items in this game is shallow. Example: Many items you only find are cursed after equipping them because the description doesn't list the facts.

Anyways I decided to test out the artifact on a telestic animation statue in case it gave a surprise horror mark the way boots of the planes did. Which the boots of the planes said NOTHING about. I slide the helm onto one of the statues... no afflications or bad side effects. Then I discovered it can't be removed... again the description says nothing about that. Then I realized the mummification spell doesn't work underwater where this statue is at ! And guess what no description at all on the mummification spell either.

Items have a nice history but lack listing the facts. Being that this is a TBS game hopefully Dominions_3 will provide the facts first and the history/story second.

NT Jedi,
I can certainly sympathize, and I totally agree as to your take on the documents not having some really crucial information.

My worse moment: Taking a rainbow master druid with the C'tis Miasma theme only to find that this druid is diseased the following round and will be every time he is called back into the disease dominion since he's not cold-blooded.

I've shared the experience of having wind ride cast on my immortal pretender bringing him into enemy dominion.

(My answer to the low precision of most fire spells is to take a phoenix with high air and fire.)

Losing about 80 ulm black plate infantry (no crossbows at the time...my mistake) to an attack on Pythium's home province by a hydra trainer and *one* hydra. The morons just followed the hydra all the way to the edge of the combat screen, constantly exposing themselves to the poison cloud.

Figuring out that missile units will fire into a melee that I will almost certainly win, thereby killing more of my own units than of the enemy and that there are no orders I can give which will be guaranteed to keep them from doing this.

I have to admit that I like the fact that you do not know if an item is cursed prior to using. Though there should be a way to scry it. An earth one ritual or something like that, or a show/remove curse spell for items.

Miasma's descriptive text does say that any unit that isn't cold-blooded can be diseased by the dominion.

The irony of this being that the Green Dragon, who is certainly a thematically appropriate choice, and has Swamp Survival, can still become diseased and die, despite the fact that it seems like a natural, appropriate environment for a green DRAGON.
