Is there a list somewhere of what Global Enchantments work correctly for Disciples games and which don't? Someone had mentioned before that maybe there were some bugs there. I'm in a Disciples game right now where Gift of Health appears not to be working for the rest of my team when I cast it as a Disciple however someone else on our team, also a Disciple, just cast Forge of the Ancients and we're all getting both effects from it just fine.

The same patch that gives Caelum some sacred archers also removes the bug that makes flaming arrows/weapons so strong. The fire damage will now only happen if they arrows themselves did damage. Even then, fire bless is only 6 AP damage, so your target needs to be more or less naked to notice.

I can't remember how good their earth and fire skills are, specifically, but they have archers and an incredibly diverse spectrum of magic.

So what you're telling me is that I have a choice between fire once every three turns arbalests, ridiculously resource costly giant archers, or expensive shot putters that can't hit anything?

Yomi, Shinuyama and Machaka all have fire mages and cheap bows. The update will make them much less effective against armor and sparse formations.

amuayse posted:Are there any nations with archers that also have good fire and earth access (for destruction)? I'm guessing the F9/D9 fix also affects Flaming Arrows, since they're all secondary weapon effects on ranged units. Before, they'd punch through Arrow Fend. Still gutted about there being no W4 Cold Arrows which do broadly the same as Flaming Arrows but with some numbness instead of the chance of stuff going on fire, so Caelum has a way to keep its shortbows relevant. Then again, they might get a whole bunch of new units, who knows. This isn't so much a crossbow buff as a generalised non-prec 100 ranged attack. Crossbows are affected by this stuff to the same degree as other units, especially since they're now (relatively) even more dangerous to your own troops if you aren't casting Arrow Fend yourself.

I guess Maringon has a chivalrous knight thing going on...at least until they make a deal with the devil and start rounding people up for blood sacrifice, and it honestly seems like every single country in the late era has either declined significantly and/or been plagued/cursed/tempted by dark magic.

Pythium has kind of a funky optimistic roman thing going so they certainly could be worse. EA is certainly the worse they get but it's essentially a different nation entirely then.

Man, Arcoscephale, LA Jomon and T'ien Chi seems like they're all right. MA Pythium seems all right too. Most of the others definitely have the dark temptations thing going on, and almost all of them have some form of decline. The monkeys are the only ones who seem to stay pretty much the exact same through all the ages. But otherwise, it's entirely this: Flavahbeast posted:From a modern irl perspective I'd say independent provinces are the only theoretical good guys in dominions.

Well the mod inspector says its Invulnerable (25), Immortal, slash and pierce resistant, and has something called "Chance to reform when killed: 75%" Not sure what that means exactly but he seems like a pretty tough cookie.

How are u posted:Well the mod inspector says its Invulnerable (25), Immortal, slash and pierce resistant, and has something called "Chance to reform when killed: 75%" Unlike normal Immortal things when they're killed in battle there's a 75% chance they will reform at full hp in a random location and keep on trucking. On average you need to kill a Worm that Walks 4 times before it stops coming back and if it was in friendly dom then it just respawned in the cap anyway.
