Interesting, Raptors are actually around in middle Caelum too?

Good luck. 200 Umbrals sounds like a force to be reckoned with!

Firest, this is Late Age game.

Second, Umbrals are summoned one at a time, so I doubt Boron actually fields all of them at once.

Oh, sorry, I forgot this is LA.

"Late fall in the year 3 of the ascension wars"

Lots of stuff happened:


4 indy attacks: Tritons, they did of course win because as land nation you cannot buy underwater province defense, Barbarians and Villains, they were both defeated, and a Vampire Count.

A rather big battle in Talito, ~200 caelian troops vs. ~ 50 argatha defenders + ca. 50 PD troops (PD strength of 25).
The caelian fliers luckily killed a necro.

It was a tough battle, but occasional lucky magma eruption hits from our surviving necro forced the caelian hordes finally to retreat after our pd troops have fled already.
The caelian troops look so strange because one of their mages casted arrow fend.

Not many casualities, but if caelum had had about 100-150 more troops i think they would have slaughtered my force.

Caleum has a few more troops on the front than i thought. I will need to wait for reinforcements.

I plan to simply set about 20 Necros to monthly summon and once i have battlefield buffs + teleporters i use them then to take down large AI armies. Maybe i move them via stygian paths, maybe with some lucky tartarians which can astral travel. I have not yet summoned a tartarian in Dom3, so i dunno which randoms they can get. I hope they still have linked randoms like in Dom2 and that i can this way get some that can astral travel .

Can you sort your event messages now?

No, they are still like in Dom2 i think. There might have been some small overhaul, but i think they have been left unchanged.

Some reports that used to spam the screen have been combined, for instance blood hunt reports from the same province.

Yeah the map is done by Jason Lutes. He did some excellent Maps for Dom2 already, but this map he did for Dom3 is imho even better. It is fair and beautiful .

If you want to see screenshots from a good mapping software, take a look at here .

Hmm, mass attacks have never been Caelum's forte. Let's see how this all goes.

So Stygian Paths works now? :O
