Re: Some Fire Magic Questions

The chance of a spell going through 30 arcane domes is the same as the chance of going through one: 50%
Domes of the same type do not acumulate effects, different domes do acumulate however (I had...

Re: Spell scripting question

The tactical spell Ai is pretty good for this:
-Area effect buffs will try to target the biggest concentration of troops in range (example: legions of steel)
So long as you are careful with troop...

Yup, I meant twice as much as a normal trooper for shamblers (2 supply per shambler) and missremembered regarding lobsters thinking they were size6 when they are size5, so it's indeed 4

Re: Atlantis and upkeep/supply

As arch says, supply is based on size: your lobsters eat as much as 5 size2 troopers, and your shamblers eat twice as much.

Re: Alexander\'s ever-expanding Tome of Knowledge

Both your suggestion & Pocus are valid, yet for different targets.

Body ethereal is area 1 (1 square), thus you can etherealize Groups of 3x size2 infantry as you suggest, or Groups of 2x size3...

Re: does banefire damage undead / lifeless ?

As of Dom PPP Banefire did indeed damage undead, have not tested in Dom II, likely stays the same.

Your experience differs greatly from mine.

I have yet to be in a game decided by clamhoarding, nor by choice of nation.

Re: A prioritized and hopefully realistic Wish List for 2.13

Lifedraining weapons are not a must have, they are just a simple answer to the need to plan for life & fatigue restoring in a SC, but you can get those through many other different ways.

Your Treelords have Nature magic, so I would sugest this:
