Seeking Arrow

[Louist]

Does the target commanders HP have any effect on the spell? Or is it a hard coded % change to kill/wound/fail? I hate to lose my brand new Gift-of-Reasoned commander to such a basic spell.

[Redeyes]

Seeking Arrow is an AN attack with 8 damage - it always hits a commander bar luck, air shield or any defensive dome rituals.

The damage is resolved by rolling a DRN added to the damage (2d6, 6s allow another roll) and a DRN subtracted from the damage.

High hp makes your commander likelier to survive the ritual.

Glad to hear that. Very glad.

As an aside: I tried to wish for an Eater, and he appeared and prompty destroyed my expensive, equipped, and oh-so-fragile mage. Is there any chance of "taming" such a creature or is summoning one via wish merely a handy way of committing suicide?

[Gregstrom]

Which Eater? If you mean one of the Doom Horrors, theres about a 50% chance of them joining you IIRC.

[militarist]

what is IIRC ?

[Frozen Lama]

if i remember correctly

[Louist]

Well, I specifically tried calling Eater of Dreams and ended up getting the Eater of Gods. This was perhaps my... 4th time? casting Wish.

[Ironhawk]

Dont bother trying to tame the horrors. Even if you get one properly, and then GoR it, they just randomly leave you whenever they feel like it. Wish for something powerful and reliable, like a Seraph or Chayot.

My end game experience is rather limited, either the game ends before the big spells come out, or I'm losing handily. I just wished for the creature that seemed to have the most fearsome name :)

[Mysterio]

Do Seeking Arrows target PD commanders, or only commanders recruited by the nation?

[Graeme Dice]

PD is invulnerable to everything but an attacking army.

You know you can just rename them don't you????

[chrispedersen]

PD is invulnerable to everything but an attacking army.

And raising unrest.

[Graeme Dice]

Unrest has no effect on PD.

And ASSASSINS!

[chrispedersen]

Unrest has no effect on PD.

If you lose the province to unrest, you lose the pd.

[John_Madlock]

SA are addressed only for the normal commanders, not PD. If you throw SA into the empty prowince (with PD but no commanders), the opponent will not even know you did it.
Edit: um, I replied to a question from the previous page.

[Graeme Dice]

You don't lose provinces to unrest. You lose provinces to random events that cause armies to attack.

[Kheldron]

I think what Chris wanted to say was that unrest was a prerequisite to the bad event that causes you to lose a province (uprising)

I think what you're saying is that chris doesn't differentiate between unrest (i.e. the numerical value of it that a province has) and the random event that makes a province turn against it's owner through a revolt, resulting in an independent province. I haven't checked the effects that PD has on it, I'd expect that only low-PD provinces revolt, same as with wishing (http://dom3.servegame.com/wiki/Wish) for more provinces.

You can't wish for specific Doom Horrors, you're always just going to get one of them which is being determined randomly, even if you use their names.

[Kheldron]

according to Edi's DB you only need unrest 10 and no troops in the province to get the revolt event. It doesn't say anything of PD but it could be

[chrispedersen]

I've had provinces with significant pd revolt. Its why I mention it.
