Screenies!

Endoperez said:There are nations that have only one or two national spells such as Ulm. There might be some without any national spells, and there are few that are now the only ones capable of casting certain spells that were previously available to every one. As an example, Illwinter is restricted to Niefelheim/Jotunheim/Utgård. So, all nations don't have new national spells.

How come you know so much?

Then I should bugger him to show us screenies.

Happy?
Please note that the background was added in GIMP, and isn't official Dom3 background.

[Nerfix]

Nice! But what's up with the astral symbols?

Oh, and MORE!

Show Caelumian stuff next. Or maybe Dreamlands R'lyeah...or..or...the evocation tree. Ah, anything will do!

Seems I made a mistake with that Gimp. Oh well.

All right. Something Caelumian it is, then.

And another:

[Nerfix]

Interesting, Caelum, err, Spire Horn gets shock resistance. Fitting though.

R'lyeh next?

Oh, and thanks for the pictures. I forgot to thank you on the first time around.

It's resistance, and it's on one of the three tribes. They are only resistant against cold, though, and thus don't have any immunities.

R'lyeh next?

An insatiable thirst for forbidden knowledge? I know what I want to show, but I'll have to work a bit to get a proper screenshot. It will have something to do with the new insanity mechanic.

[Nerfix]

Yes! Forbidden knowledge! Gimmie!

Thank you very much Endo.

[Endoperez]

Sorry, it seems I can't get a picture showing just what is happening. I'd have to show the commanders themselves, and the strategic view of what they are doing, and the unit view of the units that have appeared. I'll give you a description, instead.

I made a simple test with R'lyeh Dreamlands. I went through it a bit too quickly, and had Ghost King with Dominion of 1... Any way, I prophetized a commander and set him to preach, and waited. After about 10 turns, I have:

Snireth Co, a Cultist with S1H1
Antu, a cultist with H1
25 Atlantian/Mermen Dreamers. They are insane, fight with daggers, and have good magic res and morale. They dream and dream, never sure of what is real, so they are rarely afraid of things like fights or death.
12 creatures from void. In this case, 8 Lesser Othernesses and 4 Vile Things. Some appeared on their own, and I think a cultist summoned some.
24 Madmen (Atlantians and Mermen). They are mindless, insane, and need magical leadership.

The two cultists are insane, too. I never gave orders except for the prophet, but the two cultists have searched my capital for sites a few times, one of them was on "Call God" for a few turns (my Ghost King was just next to him, but hey, he's insane), one of them researched magic for a while (but he wasn't a mage, so it didn't help), and one of them entered the Void Gate for a few turns but I don't know if anything happened (except that he was eaten by a common Size 6 horror on the last turn), etc.

Enemy commanders also go insane in R'lyeh Dreamlands dominion. They might prech (perhaps even if they aren't priests?) Dreamlands dominion, they might get this strange command called "Fhtagn", they might defend the area and not take any other orders, they might study the stars, etc etc.

This was with only my capital. Few provinces here and there, and R'lyeh gets armies of insane or just plain mad creatures, and insane commanders that will usually lead them but might also look at the pretty flowers (or algea, or whatever) if they happen to want to do that.

[Ballbarian]

Dreamlands sounds like a lot of fun (and potential frustration).

[Nerfix]

Sounds very, very cool. I especially love the randomness of the insane commanders, and the "Fhtagn".

Hmmm, Endo, do you know if it would be possible to mod the Void Gate to be above ground..?
