Wow. This AAR is awesome!

Aye, I've been following it from the start, it's a nice read. The guy writing the updates certainly puts a lot of effort into it.

Print this when it's done, bind it as a book and sell it separately or with dom CD.
I for one would buy it :)

It's really good stuff and would be much nicer to read as a soft cover book.

I dunno I think the title will be R'ylehs. That said I am rooting for Man.

R'lyeh

The spelling is important dude.

Hey, how do you know he isn't a starspawn?

In a non-euclidean world, it doesn't matter which letters come first.

Ulm's chosen scales mix things up a bit. One of Ulm's advantages is that its mages aren't affected by the research penalty from drain scales, so Drain 3 is basically free points for them. Ulm's troops have low magic resistance as well, so being in a drain dominion helps them resist hostile spells.

Hadn't heard that before. What tag indicates this?

PS Very nice link.

That's not true, it's the Man magisters that are immune to drain. I don't think there's a tag for it, #copystats might work.

The Dom 3 wiki says that MA Ulm Master Smiths don't lose research due to drain:

It also says as much in the in-game race description.

Look at the unit modifications on the Master Smith

and Priest Smith

and a quick test proved its true.
