Default Short, but somewhat preoccupying questions

1.) When I wish for Doom Horror, why do I get it as a commander, rather as a unit, like all the other wished creatures?

2.) My prophet died 40 turns ago and I can't still make a new one. Why?

3.) Alt + Tab = when I come back to the game, the interface has turned rather "buggy" (same with Dom2). Anyone else has the same issue?

4.) With what spell do I call Seraph?

5.) Why is High seraph worse than Seraph?

Default Re: Short, but somewhat preoccupying questions

1) Commander

2) A bug, if he's really dead. If he just e.g. "Vanished between space and time" or something, and later reappeared somewhere (probably insane), he'd still be alive even though you might've thought that he is dead already.

3) Known bug. Alt-Enter twice works as a workaround IIRC. Myself, I play Dom3 in windowed mode, but maximized.

4) With a Marignon/Pythium national spell Heavenly Choir. The manual lists the spell as giving other commanders as well, but currently the other angels appear as units instead.

5) High Seraph of Caelum is better than a Seraph of Caelum. The six-winged, angelic being that is also named Seraph is more powerful than most mortals, immortals, humanoids, monsters or summoned creatures. Seraphs of Caelum (latin for "sky") were named Seraphs long before Seraph as a six-winged angel existed in Dominions, but the root of the name is probably in the angelic being who commands great magical powers.

CTRL + TAB also works

Default Horrors?

One should be careful wishing for doom horrors. They're horrors, after all...

Default Re: Horrors?

Going back to the first question: I wished for Seraph (Ma/Py national one) and it came out as a unit (normally commander), whereas Doom Horror didn't.

PS. Thanks for that historical trivia concerning Seraphs.

Default Re: Horrors?

On the Alt-Tab thing, I play in Window mode and it never does that. There's really not much difference in this game between Windowed and Full-screen.

Default Re: Horrors?

The one time I tried wishing for Hunter of Heroes with my pretender, I got the Eater of Gods. It killed me, and I had no Horror Mark beforehand. It could've just been coincidence, but somehow I don't think so.

Default Re: Horrors?

whatever you wish-eater of gods, eater of dreams, hunter of heroes, doom horror or something of unreason-you get a horror randomly pick out from above, mostly eater of dreams. there's one of them have a 0 map movement, and one of them(sth of unreason iirc, the one looks like an octopus)have a 10 map movement but in fact cannot move at all. for each two wishes or what you call horrors you get one of them, another time being "assainate" by a horror. Thus to avoid your pretender's death, give him 2 astral pearls and script him "Returning". At next month, wish again and you'll likely get a horror at your own.

Note: Doom horrors you get from wish randomly disappears. It may vanish at the 3rd month you get it, or it may not disappears till the game's end. Once it's gone, you'll get a message like "Agon was suddenly nowhere to be found".

HTH

Anyone know if there's a modding command which can be assigned to newly created units which would cause this effect?
I'd like to create a hero who randomly just walks away one day.
