IMPORTANT!!!! Claiming a throne is not the same as capturing one. To claim it, you need to put a level 3 priest or pretender/disciple onto the same province. There will be a special monthly action called CLAIM THRONE. Once you claim it you may get neat bonuses. Some thrones you do not need to claim to get all their bonuses, but you still need to claim them for throne points.

I love the repeat recruitment option so much. Watching all these troops pour out like fresh baked cookies makes me happy, which evens out due to the absurdly long construction times.

What's weirder is the research. It's not that hard to get to level 3 in any path, but after that it's really really difficult.

This is a rather interesting replacement for dwarven hammer. It's a very powerful item, so that requires a buttload of research. It gives a forge bonus of 1 but it's also an irremovable miscellaneous item.

Another interesting item. The Disease Grinder gives a unit that equips it the "disease grinder" tag. It heals one unit in a province of disease and gives you a free death gem. Not a temporary death gem, a real death gem.

The First Anvil is a miscellaneous unique that gives a dude the Master Smith tag, which allows the guy's paths to be boosted for forging. Similar to Forge of the Ancients. It doesn't stack if you already have Master Smith like on the Forge Lord pretender. Sadly though, it does not answer the question of whether the hammer or anvil came first.

I think it would be useful if you got a castle full of old men researchers. A neat thing about the copper arm. It gives you another arm slot.

Earth boosters seem to be nerfed as well. On the other hand, pikes+line formation can mow through indies extremely well.

Real-life stuff screwed me over a bit when I tried to play with goons a year or so ago, but fortunately that stuff's taken care of. Well no more insane raiding strategies involving Eagle Kings. Just Mammoths and Seraph Researchers.

The only thing that seems like a weakness is magic duel. But early on, most people won't have that, so just set your monolith to blink or just stick him out way in front. The best thing about this though is that he can now wield Scepter of Dark Regency.How are u posted:It seems like a lot of the changes they've made to the game are mean to de-emphasize supercombatants and promote conventional armies and battlemagic in the end game.

Ogres seem to get pooped on easily by anyone with decent evo. But they can kill 90% of any nation's infantry and most cavalry too.

When a guru/yogi dies of old age it has a chance of +1 for your dominion. But most of the time, their death is violent so they become other units.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Ehh, the Illwinter guys are amazing at making content but they couldn't balance their way out of a Pong clone. So ultimately whatever the game does to gemgens and boosters and spell paths doesn't matter that much as long as it's moddable, because that's where all the changes I'll actually be playing with come from anyways. Well it's no secret that they like some nations over others.

Do you guys think that Luck +1 is worth getting? Compared to Dominions 3, there are 1500 events compared to 500. Even if I set events to rare and not put any points into turmoil and luck, I get events about 2/3rds of the time.

"The repell system is reworked. Long weapons are now actually useful. With several long weapons in a square and a low mrl unit attacking you can be pretty sure no one attacks you. So go for barbarians and animals with your pikes. Pikes might well defeat sword and shield units of similar skill lvls. Difference in weapon length is important (up to 3 i think)." http://z7.invisionfree.com/Dom3mods/index.php?showtopic=1562&st=15 Ulm's pike and axemen are REALLY good now.

Nah, the AI is still pretty dumb-dumb. Fun to experiment in though. Anyways, what do you guys think about having teammates specialize in spell schools? Conjurgation, Construction, and Evocation seems like a good combo. amuayse fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Sep 6, 2013 |

Almost done with the initial stuff, just need to add unique pretenders and fix up a few sprites. http://www.mediafire.com/download/an8a2m7i9xni1n4/Sawaiiki+0.6.rar Forgot to add, it's for Dom3.
