attempt for a mid-lategame strategic protection guide(domes). info needed :)

[archaeolept]

why do you need more than one? murdering winter could devastate your clamhoarders, unless they are cold immune. as well, its difficult to have a mass of scouts underwater, who should be your second line of defense against arrows and the like.

however, it is substantially weakened by them being in a castle, which means you'ld want to cast "living castle", which is somewhat difficult however.

and then still put up domes.

you could as caelum use high seraphs underwater .
the castle in mp you could achieve by trading with ryleh . i think if you are not at war in exchange for a good overland province ryhleh will accept this
then equip the high seraphs with a robe of missile protection this should make seeking arrows not too cost effective and is cheap .

it is a bizzarre strat hehe but at least possible i think


archaeolept can you finally say how armaggedon works ? can more then 1 armaggedon be wished for in 1 turn ?
is there still a damage throw involved in armaggedon damage or does it chose randomly the targets and they always die ?

i mean do very strong leaders like arch demons survive 1-2 armaggedons or not ?

[Boron]

and a small additional thought :

if immortals like wraith lords get killed in own dominion by e.g. flames from the sky do they revive in the capitol then too ?

[Master Shake]

I have found Murdering Winter to be amazingly underwhelming. In a recent game, I've cast it 3 times on an army of 170+. Each time I kill less than 10 units for 30 water gemes each cast.

Damage from murdering winter depends on the cold-scale of the targeted province.

could you please share info on how armaggedon works too ?
this is the Last thing i want to know about strategical warfare in dominions

armaggedon seems like a global nuke strike in dominions

2 key questions :
-can you cast multiple armaggedons / turn ?
-is there a damagethrow involved ?

especially the damagethrow is important for me

and which kind of damage is armaggedon ? perhaps fire damage ?

thnx for revealing these game secrets in advance Kristoffer or Johan

Yes, they do. An immortal that dies in its own dominion always respawns in the capitol, unless the capitol is not habitable, such as being underwater for a non-amphibious immortal, or entirely occupied by the enemy. This results in a very funny message when an immortal wishes for "Death".

Hi,

So I haven't seen the one thing I really want to know about domes in this thread. The question of how much extra time do extra gems invested in a dome give? The answer was +1 turn per gem.

However when the spell description says that the dom Lasts for a short time (or whatever)....how long is that base duration? 1 turn? 5 turns? 10 turns? random 1D6 (oe)?

Thanks!
John
