Another Devata has answered my call: Devarama. My armies truly will be unstoppable. I will outfit him and send him to the front as soon as possible.

One of my Markatas (Amoghavarsa) witnessed a battle between T'ien Ch'i and Vanheim. It would seem that T'ien Ch'i has enlisted the services of The Whispering Legion, a notorious mercenary group of otherworldly beings.



Hansanadini moved her small force of Yavanas on the frontier into enemy territory, and encountered some resistance - it would seem that the local population organised some kind of militia to resist her advance. Nonetheless she took the province, and found two Water Bracelets on the wrists of an enemy mage. These are always helpful for Yakshinis such as Hansanadini, although the effects do not stack, so only one is really useful.

Balastha the Devata is moving into enemy territory, backed up by Bemra the Yakshini, and Bhadrayu and Avilasa the Yakshas, and 90 Yavanas. I have given him instructions to perform the incantation to call Celestial Music - we will see which of our troops it affects, and how much (since the water 9 blessing already gives partial quickness). His destination is a T'ien Ch'i fort which is being besieged by Vanheim. Looks like the besieging army is 260 strong, but by all accounts including a lot of militia and serf warriors, as well as heavy infantry and presumably Hirdmen and Huskarls.

In other news I finally found a wizard able to cast Augury, an incantation for finding sites of fire magic.

it doesn't show up graphically I don't think, but it'll of course tell you in the description box.
Maybe in a patch or the future they can use a different icon to represent PD. Maybe a number of little shields or helmets can represent how much PD is there.

maybe...but the risk is that the screen become too cluttered. No harm in suggesting it though.

So are computer AI opponents actually good at bidding for mercenaries in DOM_3 ?
I know with DOM_2 they were poor at making bids for mercenaries allowing the human players to usually acquire them.

My tests have been positive! My Yavanas went from 14 action point to 21 when blessed, to 28 when Celestial Music was cast. The incantation also affected the Gandharvas and Apsaras, as well as the Yakshas and Yakshinis. Here is a shot of Balastha casting the spell.



Balastha is now crossing the border into the province where Vanheim is besieging T'ien Ch'i's fortification. He is co-ordinating with Hansanadini and Ananda, who will have no frontier left once this city is captured.

My researchers this turn discovered the words of power that will protect a whole army from missiles. This knowledge is being rushed to the front, where Balastha can put it into practice immediately. My researchers are being tasked on discovering unique magical artifacts.

The incantation also affected the Gandharvas and Apsaras, as well as the Yakshas and Yakshinis.
Also, it made pretty blue sparklies

Indeed, the new lighting effects are awesome.
