Some thugs, but not necessary efficient builds. Click on the thumbnail to view fullsize :-



Its got the rat tail and monolith armour because I was sick of them sitting in my lab.



This little fellows more deadly than the banelord, cheap equipment too...



Shame about the fatigue but fun!



Hint, another dude on the battlefield has Banner of the Northern Star, come in packs...



Loves undead/demons.



Come to the dark side...



A bit of a failed experiment, needs higher precision, still 4 bonds of fire per combat rounds not bad.

Just a small example of some of my thugs, I like experimenting as you can see. I even do it alot in MP, rather than go with something I know works, I often make something new up just for fun.

Things like that desperately needs Boots of Quickness!

That's a very nice looking map you got there in the background, where can I get it?

I guess the 10 encumbrance also requires the current boots and medaillon to keep him going

The jade armour gives quickness.

Its Faerun (Edi's fix), check out the Dom3 scenarios, maps and mods subforum.

The script for this guy is Charm, charm, charm, charm, charm, cast spells. Charms the only spell he can cast, so guess what he does?

With the quickness he casts 2 charms per combat round at +5 penetration. This costs 10 enc, the boots give 4 reinvig. So in the first 17 combat rounds he casts 34 charm spells. He then slows down somewhat due to being over 100 enc.

Since people are asking about Faerun, I might as well let out that I finished province borders on the new Dom3 one yesterday. Now I need to add the white dots and then create the actual map file. It's going to be huge, much bigger than the original Faerun 424 map for Dom2 and much better looking too. I'll make a smaller version later. Couple of weeks for the first one to come out, more time for the smaller version.

Excellent Edi, look forward to seeing it.

Just downloaded Twans Greyhawk, should amuse me till then.

Did the majority of my roleplaying in Greyhawk, so should bring back many good memories.

Very much looking forward to it EDI, my favorite map by far. More specials!

EA Ulm is particularly tasty at producing items on the cheap. Cheap mages with forge bonus + dwarven hammers. In my last game I got a construction magic site on top of that! While none of their units stand out as ‘thugable” they are well placed to summon and create well equipped thugs. On a large map, they could get the gem income and spend it cheaply to have multiple good thugs.

Ohh, I haven't paid attention to that, thought it would be Hydra skin armor or whatever. I better get my eyes checked.
