True, but if a forester is set as part of a trap for SCs he won't be hiding and may show up on the scouting report.

So while the niché for using possessed longbowmen with anti-SC weaponry as part of a trap is rather small, the cost is small too - 1s and an astral mage.

But hardly a mainstream strategy.

CBM 1.82 "forest of a thousand eyes" descr:
"The sorceror reaches makes a connection through the spiders of the forest he occupies to the spiders of a distant forest."

Is the bold part a valid English phrase?

Hey, I'm all for giving Machaka power since it was seriously UP but, isn't foul sacrifice too much?

It costs as little as 4N, 80 gold and one turn of mage recruitment to get 5 hunter spiders. Combine that with F9 or W9 or both bless and the fact that it's pre researched (lvl 0).

Is there something I'm missing since them hunters are solid all around unit with only possible weakness of size and mediocre+ MR.

On the good side: I love the nice touch of extra power to the sorceress.

I'm really curious how will Machaka do in MP post 1.82. I have a feeling that players expecting the old weakling nation are in for a nasty surprise

Oh, it summons black spiders? Oooh. I thought from the description is the grey ones, and thought the spells is pretty meh.

Hmm. Interesting

It is British spelling, as opposed to American "color". Both are correct. Or is there some other mistake I fail to see?

Nope. I'm used to American spelling and wasn't aware of British spelling

Cool.

BTW, I gave the foul sacrifice some thought and I guess it's ok.

Yes. It costs as 4N + 80 gold and you get 5 hunters after three turns (a- recruit mage, b- cast, c- wait a turn for them to grow).
Compare to just recruit them which costs 400g and one turn and not losing a turn for mage recruitment.

Now, imagine the surprise when the enemy beseiges your research center and then all of a sudden you sacrifice your researchers to get an army of W9/F9 hunters

More typos:
"
This warrior belongs to a group of C'tissian mercenaries serving under the hero Uru'gallu. They are tough elite slave warriors who have survived many combats alongside their commander. Although Uru'gallu is not an especially charismatic leader, he does not care for the social status of his fighters and treats them better than most commanders of C'tis. They have tough scales like their master and are better equipped with shields and helmets. They call themselves 'The Sons of the Alligator' as a crude joke towards the ill rumor concerning Uru'gallu's mother.

The tribe of Levi are known for their fanaticism and religious fervor. It is the only tribe allowed to train priests. Sometimes a particularly pious Levite emerges to claim prophethood and lead other Levites. These Nabi'im are not trained in the temple and are regarded with some suspicion by the Gittites. To secure faith and loyalty, they are given the outfit of a Kohen Gadol. The Nabi'im's fervor is such they spread dominion wherever they tread, and bands of Levite zealots follow them to the ends of the earth.

The Goliath of Gath is the greatest warrior in the realm. He is the champion of the Gibborim, the mighty men, and stands taller than even the Serens of the Palace of the Sage King. The Goliath loves to pound lesser foes to the ground as he mocks their gods. He is utterly ungodly, sprouting heresies and desecrating icons of false faiths whenever possible. It is rumoured that he has some blood of the Nephilim flowing in his veins and that he was fathered by one of the three Sons of Anak. The Goliath is a skilled and strong warrior that has not lost a single battle, and in his arrogance refuses to wear a helmet.

The mysterious Trickster is an ancient half-giant, birthed in a time long past when the Jotuns and Vanir married one another. He took part in the war against Aesir and fathered three monstrous children with Angerbodå. The Trickster is gifted with cunning and is skilled in crafting illusions. He loves to play seemingly random tricks and pranks on those around him. But beneath his trickery lies a sinister plan, for he has been prophesied to play a great part in the war of gods. Pantokrator imprisoned him by poison, but now he has escaped and come to serve the awakening god to fulfil his destiny. The Trickster is a skilled sorcerer and a master of illusions. He can spread chaos and confusion amongst the enemy ranks. However, his mischievous pranks will cause unrest in the province where he resides.

Hashi Saburo is the legendary leader of the Aka-Oni Samurai company. Saburo and his companions painted their armors red and tricked their enemies to believe that they were Red Devils of the night. His bravery and cunning is widely known and his company is almost fanatically loyal. Hashi Saburo wears a red demon mask that has been enchanted by a powerful Shugenja to induce fear in enemy troops.

The Kharahasara is a Rakshasa, a demon-ogre of Lanka. Smaller than other Rakshasa, Kharahasara are men with the features of rabbits, strong, hardy and swift of foot. Though smaller than other Rakshasa, they are quick and defeat their opponents through cunning and skill rather than brute force. They are sneaky and mischievous creatures and they do not eat flesh, preferring grasses, shoots and flowers. However, they eagerly seek young human girls, but do not devour them. Instead, they spirit them away for a time, after which the girls are permitted to wander home, dazed, dishevelled and often pregnant. They are also skilled in the magics of nature and air to play their mischievous tricks. They are considered sacred to the monkey people.

Angelique was a simple peasant girl who witnessed the destruction of her home village at the hands of the Inquisition. Before the blazing flames, she swore to avenge her family. For years she fought the Inquisition as best she could, be it alone or with brigands. But a horrible incident changed her utterly; after witnessing her brigand friends feasting upon the flesh of a slain Friar, she abandoned them and went to the Inquisition to confess her sins. She was tested in the House of Just Fires and was deemed righteous and given absolution. Angelique now serves the Inquisition with a burning hatred of Ermorian heretics. She has killed dozens upon dozens of Ghouls and has slowly become immune to their poisoneus claws.

WraithLord, Dominions 3 uses British spelling in the game. You seem to list british spelling as typos, while I believe it is actually the american spelling that should be considered typos in this case for the sake of consistency

Fair enough.Currently I am knowledgeable to the fact that "colour" is British spelling of color. cool. What else that I listed?- Surely not all typos are due to British spelling unless you want to imply that hunting poisoneus snakes are a fulfiling activity for the average British
