Automatic recurring recruitment is 100% worth the cost alone.

Is there a spell that lets unmoveable pretenders search for magic sites? That's more or less why I've always been hesitant to play one. Edit: I somehow managed to miss all of them but the one for Arcane sites for the last 7 years. Pomp fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Sep 3, 2013 |

How can I play Caelum without getting completely exploded? I like to run them with Virtue, but I feel like winning a big battle is a crap shoot if I get forced into that situation.

Caelum advice made the mid-game a lot easier, thanks! Is there any reason not to go for Blood Magic if you fine a province with a slave market? It seems like a free empowerment for a mage of your choice, and then a sanguine rod would get the ball rolling there wouldn't it?

AfroSquirrel posted:"GAME Horror seed produced a sprite instead of a horror" What did it do in dom3? It never seemed to do anything worthwhile when I tried it. edit: "Note: This spell is currently bugged and the only effect is that a horror will emerge when the effected unit dies." Whelp.

RE: Xcom mod They'd definitely be a blood/arcane, possibly with some earth magic in order to facilitate primitive Cyberdisks(Mechanodisks?) and Sectopods. An ethereal pretender in the vein of the cheap mage human pretenders would be a nice touch, I think. Maybe a little lore touch about how they're sacrificing humans to fuel their war effort, instead of to the gods or something.

1)Pretender, or sacred 3. 3)Manual 4)A 9/10 Dominion score gives youR pretender 1/3 points of awe. According to the wiki, a pretender without inherent awe has a -1, so this comes out to 0/2 for most pretenders. Someone try a 10 dom Virtue build for me please.

Well, I thought I had that battle in hand, then lost half my army in exchange for 19 units. Turns out I have no idea what to do about elephants! I'm Ermor, so I don't have archers to fall back on. Should I just set everyone to fire at large monsters and let their army come to me?

Eleven Mod guy, I'm not sure if it's a bug with Dom, your mod, or if it's even a bug in the first place, but this doesn't looks right to me. While, over on a throne, there's just a bunch of militia, like the indies got mixed up or something. Pomp fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Feb 4, 2014 |

Decrepus posted:You need to recruit Scouts from every province that can recruit them every single turn. Use repeat recruitment. If you are unlucky and don't get scout provinces just go AI. Scouts will give you a rough estimation of the enemy force in the province which will often be terribly off and cause you to die. A scout might report that there are some militia and archers and leave out the information about two powerful air mages backing them up. Years of RTS experience have ingrained "ALWAYS BE SCOUTING" into my psyche, and the second I figured out that Pangaea can recruit Harpies from any forest province they became my new favorite nation. Does anyone beat Pangaea when it comes to scouting ability? After like 20 turns I see all.

I'm vouching for Liqourish for the GGS. Those friends of mine are really liking the game so far, and want to play more - two of them in smaller games with friends, but this one wants to dive in deeper. He's a pretty chill guy. I got a third one, a goon, to buy it, but he's sitting around intimidated by the UI like a big baby and didn't join us. Pomp fucked around with this message at 03:06 on Mar 4, 2014 |

Jabarto posted:Honestly I'd just as soon get rid of it altogether. Save-or-die spells are almost impossible to balance and are generally a terrible idea. Yeah, they offer nothing healthy to the game, just a small chance for anyone with access to the spell to kill literally anything without full magic immunity. Every game that's phased them out has been better for it.

I've been farting around with Ashdod in AI games, and I'm not really sure what my viable research goals are. I rush for construction to kit out Adons, but I'm lost after that. Some of sacred national summons looked like they could be decent supercombatants/thugs with the right items, but they're real deep in conjuration.
