Re: Wraith Sword & Constructs

Yes; even lifeless commanders will recover hit points when using life-draining effects.

Re: New mod nation: Sylvania, Vampire Counts

Haven't noticed any effects on the longdead masses -- probably due to lifelessness making it ineffective on them, I suppose. I'll have to try higher undead and have another look.

Re: New mod nation: Sylvania, Vampire Counts

Very nifty.

Is Necrarch-granted regeneration supposed to be have much rarer effect than the other vampire boosts?

Re: Attacking Unconnected Provinces

If the intent is to make them difficult to hold by human players, keep in mind that bad sites generally do nothing to weaken province defense. I suppose sites pushing scales to Misfortune/Turmoil 3...

Re: Corpses (or, what's the use of dying)?

Hrrrrm. Interesting; I don't think Corpse Constructs actually requires corpses, despite the name and the units essentially being beefed-up soulless. IIRC, I've done mass summonings of them (via the...

Re: Corpses (or, what's the use of dying)?

The game also distinguishes between armed corpses and unarmed corpses. The former can get you soulless armed with weapons, while the latter (produced through e.g. population dying from a deadly...

Re: Good blood summoning spells?

The Lords of Civilization (Hinnom national, and limited quantity) should take the prize. Nasty buggers.

Mandehas (late-game Lanka summons... quantity unlimited) come to mind. Decent magic, high...

Re: undead question

Hmm. Might be right on CoD; I'm not very heavy on death casters in my current game so I haven't seen it used for a while.

On a related note, undead will also ignore the disease effects from...

Re: undead question

Cloud of Death, Disintegrate, and Banefire are quite indiscriminate in terms of what units they can hurt.

Re: No More Random Events

Re: Noob question on quickness

That's "chance of an additional action round", not "chance of extra action points in the same round".

Think of it as an opportunity. Get an air mage to Cloud Trapeze inside the fort, then have him Wind Ride unlucky commanders to meet Bogus in person.

Re: Killing mages in the back

Earth Attack and Disease Demons are decent against mages. :p

Darkness and storms can reduce their utility until you do manage to kill them, if you're not as dependent on precision as they are.

Yup. When I wiped out my Gentoo install and reinstalled (to switch from 32-bit to 64-bit), all I needed to do to reinstall Dominions was to pick a spot, copy files there, symlink the 64-bit...

Re: Fatigue quick reference

Re: Secondary Magic Effects

"Death curse" means that somebody who kills you has a chance (MR check?) of being cursed. Might be useful if you've got piles of flagellants or the like, but bear in mind that curse doesn't stack --...

Combat deaths only.

Re: What other games complement your Dominions 3?

I recently got back into fiddling with Introversion's "Uplink", after amusing myself with the demo of their "Defcon" game. Both of those games appeal to me because of the potential (or, in the case...

Re: (Very) Basic Battle Tactics

I'll also note that ultra-cheap low-prot units like militia or R'lyeh's freespawn cultists can be useful as lance absorbers; the heavy cavalry's initial charge can be quite threatening to even...
