I find it much easier just to cast some global spell *other* than the one that I wish gone and trust to blind luck that the one I wish gone will go poof. Kills two birds with one stone: I get a global I want, and I remove one I don't wish to see.

I think this is because you play single player.

The AI doesn't ram globals up with great force, so most of the time, a human global intended to be resistant to dispelling will easliy overwrite an AI global. However, if you already HAVE globals up, the sadorandom nature of the global targetted for replacement will more or less insure that your existing global is targetted.

Which is why Dom 2 is really two different games. It plays so much differently in MP than it does in SP, despite a common set of rules.

Well, I've invited you over to the channel before. Meet new and interesting people from all around the world. Then kill them. Give it a try sometime.

My priority is getting my life sufficiently back in order so that I may resume my AAR. I haven't even played a single turn of Dom 2, AAR or not, in months. If I had the time to play MP, I'd have the time for my AAR. And my AAR is of much greater interest to me. As well as what fans I have out there in Dom-land.

Before you mention it, reading and replying to Posts on this forum doesn't actually take up as much of my time as playing the game does. I don't need to concentrate, and it's something I can multitask with other things. You'll also note it's only in the past week or so that I've become active once again in the forum. Progress, of sorts, in my quest to remove problems from my life, and get back to the things I enjoy.

EDIT: you could say that I'm, ah, Dispelling chaos.
