I love Bogus

[Hullu]

Who's Bogus?

[Endoperez]

Bogus is a Troll Warrior. He appears in event, accopmanied with by a Troll Archer (who aims at commanders!), a Dark Knight riding a gryphon and a Battle Mage of some kind protected by illusions. They use various magical items and have few unique items, like Bogus' ring "Precious".

They are also mentioned in other events, e.g. when they rescue some of the captured blood slaves.

And Greenstone Armor, definitively the phattest lewt.

Bogus and his crew are a random event which calls up what is apparently a playing group from the developers desktop days. Its also the old name of their company before it was Illwinter (Bogus Games if I remember right).

A story like this is why I sometimes mention that random things like events should be controlled by a switch setting. Solo players like me would like to have more of them, and many multiplayer games would turn them down or completely off since they like to KNOW that strategy won the game rather than a stroke of luck (for bragging rights).

The black knight also targets commanders, a very nasty trick is to charm or hellbind him and then copy him command into your thugs and SCs without buffs.

The Troll Archer has bow of precision, and the battle mage uses Ice Pebble Staff.

But the Greenstone armour and the Precious are the bests.
I think a few readers met Fjollvitner (at least in the hall of fame of my second multiplayer game of Dominons3 (Newbie Game EA topic). This scout with the Bogus equipment makes a great thug, and the Pendant of Luck is on the way to reach him.

I love heroic strength jotun scouts (i have one in a sp test game), stick boots quickness on there and you'll have a weapon with longer range than a bow, a hell of alot more damage and 2 shots per turn.

Anyone ever managed to enslave all of Bogus party ?

There is one, both from the GUI and the commandline.

I can't understand this desire for Dominions, since order/turmoil and luck/misfortune dominions are core game concepts and major strategic choices.

AFAIK, independents don't ever eat so the single-scout siege can never take the castle.
