Further questions:

1. was it ever determined what if any method could be used to raise the holy level of a non mage priest other than artifacts and re-prophetizing from the RoR?

2.does it matter which order you cast storm oand mist in?, or is it cumulative either way?

3. azure mage's text claim they can extend the waterbreathing ability to their followers, but it does not appear to be so... bug?




4. what effect does an elixir of life have on a unit that dies in a deathmatch or of disease?



Thanks for all replies,

Rabe

As llamabeast said, no longer true. Just pretend it means "can grant waterbreathing to their followers, given enough research and enough gems to forge a Sea King's Goblet."

I.e. "I promise, I'm working on it! Just a few more turns, guys."

2. The order doesn't matter, and the effects are indeed cumulative. The combination makes arrows fairly useless.

3. Bug, or rather an error in the description. In Dominions 2, water mages were able to lead people into the sea. That's not the case in Dominions 3.

Aren't there still a few mages who do grant waterbreathing?

Actually, you need to multiply your numbers by two because you seem to have used human-sized (size 2) units. The Lady of Fortunes (601) has a value of 30, too, and the Lady of Fortune (1344) a value of 50. But they're not (semi-)amphibian, so maybe their own size counts towards this limit, too.

Guilty as charged! I did test using humans. I think you're right, the Fortune Ladies are using some of the water-breathing ability for themselves.

Also I only tested water mages. It's possible that there are non-water mages that also grant water breathing.

No, I've checked it against my data, and your list is exhaustive.

Aaargh! And to think I was forging +breathing equipment for them to tote some archers across sea lanes...does it say this somewhere in their description and I'm just blind? (away from game at the moment)

Of course, 5/10 human sized followers is not a lot, considering their total leadership.
