Arcane Domination

[Eldanesh]

Hey, what's the proportion of converting magic resistance 9 units with this spell? Does it affect longdead and other undead? How effective is the spell?

[Gregstrom]

Arcane domination only affects units tagged as 'magical creature'. They get +4 to MR IIRC, meaning maybe 25% of units with MR 9 will be affected. If you use several +pen items the number affected will go up.

I can't think of any undead it affects offhand. Master Enslave won't affect mindless undead (including Soulless/Longdead) either. For them you need Control the Dead.

[Eldanesh]

Well I am looking at an undead problem. I have 10 dominion in all provionces including some of my enemies, how well does purgatory work as I am a fire nation?

[vfb]

If the undead is tartarians or other high-hp undead, not so well.

If it's legions of chaff, purgatory is great.

[Eldanesh]

Will it kill are percentage or a set few? Ie if there's 5000 in 1 province with 10 friendly dominion.

[Endoperez]

According to the manual, all undead creatures in your dominion are attacked. It isn't clear whether they all take damage or if they have a chance of avoiding it. Any way, I assume it'd kill huge amounts of normal longdeads in few turns' time, perhaps even something like 50%. This is just a guess, though.

[archaeolept]

yes, it should really winnow down any amount of chaff.

[Eldanesh]

From what I see it's all chaff. I have a billion priests anyway but I'm looking for a quick and devastating fix.

Purgatory and for the big groups add Flames from the Sky

[Gregstrom]

f you have an Air/Astral commander salted away somewhere (even a heavily boosted Crystal Amazon might work), add Wrath of God to the mix.

[chrispedersen]

IF you're a nation with astral or blood, a communion mastered priest, perhaps with a crystal shield, will do obscene turning when you get up to h6 or h7.

[Amhazair]

Against chaff purgatory is exactly what you're looking for. It will affect 10%/candle of the undead in all provinces. I don't remember the exact amount of damage (I think there was some variable and that it averaged to about 15 pts of damage, probably AP, maybe AN. But don't quote me on that)

Basically it means that if you have 10 dominion in all provinces as you say you do it will eliminate just about all regular undead at once. (It will also frequently leave tougher oponents like banelords and the like afflicted)

Enjoy the fireworks. :)

Edit: Used the search function to dig up the thread I semi-remembered. Quoting KO:

Checked a bit in the code.

Chance of targeting a unit: 10*dom %
Dmg: 6 ap fire damage (x3 vs undead/demons - which might seem redundant since these are the only ones targeted)

The spell seem quite devastating.

And what's the formula for "the wrath of god"?
