Re: roguelikes

Very interesting thread, all of you! I don't think I've ever seen so many of my favorite games posted in one place, ever, and certainly not such a wide variety.

MoM, AoW, Heroes, Settlers of...

Re: A few general questions about Dominions 2

1) The AI is good (as far as PC games go, which is admittedly NOT stiff company). The lack of super-scriptable orders for your units means the human advantage isn't ridiculous, at least until later...

Re: Frost immune Devils?

Yeah, most area attack skills don't ignore armor, but it depends on the type:

Frost Attacks & Earth Attacks usually face full protection
Fire Attacks and Acid/Steam attacks usually face half...

Re: Generals and outrunning their own bodyguards

Yeah, I find myself erring on the side of scripting cautiously, so a General doesn't end up in the melee until a turn or two after the footsoldiers arrive. Just position him directly behind a big...

Re: Different Weapondamages in dom 3 ?

While it might be interesting and realistic to do this sort of thing, at the end of the day, I'm not sure that you've really improved the playing experience, except for the detail nuts who want a...

Re: The Dominions 3: \"Wishlist\"

Going along with tinktank's suggestions on better AI pretender design, I don't even think it would be that hard to create various "flavors" of spend.

You wouldn't need more than 8 or 10 different...

Re: Ring mail hauberk vs. scale mail cuirass?

So, if a character has an Arm cut off, does that mean that the Protection bonus from a ring mail hauberk should increase to more than for a scale male cuirass?

Re: (OT) Do you prefer to know game formulas?

I think a little uncertainty is a good thing, and makes games more exciting to learn as well as to play.

HOWEVER, it bogs a game down when there are so many unknowns that you can never isolate...

Re: My Phoenix Died (really): How?

Re: Newbie questions

Yeah, about that heavy cavalry, they typically get one charge attack with a lance which does extra damage at the start of a battle. Let them use those Lance attacks up on fodder (units with light...

For me, enhancing the RPG aspects of the game would be the most enjoyable part--especially if it could be done while very...
