Silent Seas AAR

[st.patrik]

Turn 43
Another quiet month. The only news is that my researchers, working round the clock, made another breakthrough in summoning spells. Now I can call for the assistance of a Siddha, who apparently is a powerful priest as well as mage. I am hoping that Siddhas are powerful enough to mass bless troops. I will be summoning one to find out.

I did a census of all troops and found that I have 82 armoured Bandar, 223 Yavanas, 26 Gandharvas, and 8 Apsaras. I am planning my invasion armies to have 20 Bandar or Gandharvas in the center, with a total of 80 Yavanas on the wings, in 4 groups of 20 each. Each should be led by a Yaksha, a Yakshini, and hopefully a Siddha (if they are as effective as priests as I hope). All commanders should be equipped with basic survival equipment (missile protection, etc.)

I have directed my researchers towards more magical item research, and to discover some basic spells for finding magical sites, so that I do not need to send out searchers.

I also am thinking about taking some of these sea provinces - good for more income, and for intelligence on my opponents.

Now who is complaining that life drain can only give you 5 life? If one could acquire 4 life draining weapons....

remember that you still get fatigue from that many attacks. You probably need at least a couple of reinvigoration items.
(and improve this guy's attack and defense probably too)

Indeed, but that is a valid {SC} equipping tactic in Doms 2. as well.

Behold the Siddha!



This guy is impressive: A powerful priest and mage indeed, and up to five attacks. Most impressive, he can move anywhere on the map instantly!

I'm sending this guy site-searching, in hopes of increasing my astral pearl income, so that I can recruit more like him. I am also going myself to the coast, with some trusted Gandharvas, to start conquering the sea.

[DominionsFan]

Hm this Siddha is a very powerful unit indeed.

[BigJMoney]

I *like* that unit. :-D

Even two wraithsword would be pretty impressive, especially combined with regen and high protection... (Pretty much everything is better when combined with high protection and regen though, so thats not saying much.) OT question: Are the Ape-races unusual, or does dom3 include a LOT more units with awe?

[Caduceus]

Just to add my voice to the cacophony that I've really been enjoying your AAR, St. Patrick.

Well it looks like Vanheim is taking an aggressive line with T'ien Ch'i. Scouts report four of T'ien Ch'i's castles under siege by Vanheim. Balakrit witnessed one battle first hand, and noticed the dwarven commander:



This is a little amusing - mainly because he's carrying a midget masher!

But this makes me realise that I must act soon - I have probably delayed too long already. I need to grab a piece of the pie before it's gone. I will take a contingent from the north and attack T'ien Ch'i's northern provinces. Then in a turn or two I will send troops south also. I need more astral pearls.

[Nerfix]

Well, obviously he is smashing other midgets! Perhaps he is some kind of a taskmaster?

Let's hope things go well versus Tien and Vanheim.
