SC's vs Thugs

GoR is fun with cross-breeding, specially if you score an ettin.

(Does anyone actually use cross-breeding? I've played with it a bit, but it seems like the good stuff is depressingly rare...)

Are there any other summoned mobs with magic paths like Tatarians? Or were the Tatarians ment to be used with GoR?

Unless you want to mod/map make or wish for it, there isn't.

I was just reading through the spell addendum doc, and they said that transformation can transform a mage into a dragonfly (although its noted that its rare).

Hopefully in DOM_3 50% or more of all units within the game will be possible with Transformation. Or at the very least make the spell available sooner. Currently it's almost never used because most of the changes aren't that great and its so high up in research its usually not worth it.

I don't think it would be feasible for a NATURE mage to transform into a Void monster, or to an armored Abysian Heavy Infanty, or a mounted unit (

), etc etc...

There are lots of new animals. They should be added to the list. But as the units are more often differently equipped units I would hate to see Transformation changed like that.

Actually, there is: a failed Transform may transform the caster into a Dragonfly. It's a lot rarer than the other failed results, though.

Yay for me! The above tidbit of information has already been posted a few hours ago. I feel so useful.

You'd get a (potientially?) feebleminded dragonfly commander from a transform, right? So no need to GoR, although wasn't that the point -- to show how you have nature gems to waste?

The commander will be feeble-minded: failed Transform changes the body (Foul Spawns are the common ones) and the mind (sanity is so fleeting).

The goal was indeed to waste as much resources (most notably gems, but also mage-time and so on). I believe the Dragonfly qualifies, though: Transform very rarely produces Dragonflies, so you will need to spend a lot of mage-turns and gems (8 per attempt) to get your Dragonfly, and then you still need to cure the feeble-mindedness for maximum effect. It would be *so* fun to have a Dragonfly with *high* magic paths, wouldn't it?
