Are you sure? Only about 20% of tartarians arrive as commanders. Look at the regular troops in that province.

I was sort of hoping this game would proceed without anyone bothering the tarts, but I guess not

I'm not try to make you feel bad about doing it - tarts are a perfectly legal part of the game and it will feel like a normal dom3 game with everyone bopping around behind our big, bad tartarians. I just happen to have a personal feeling that the game is more interesting without them. This is largely because the best way to counter them is with tarts of your own, so all those nicely differentiated nations at the start of the game end up looking alike by the end.

On the other hand, that no-gem thug of BR Ulm's laid about 70 points of damage on my undead Dust Priest in a single round - so 2 or 3 of them ought to be able to take down a tart in a round or two. BR Ulm may have have the perfect cheapo tart-counter.

You are right -- the Tartarian is there as a regular troop -- even if I would doubt the wisdom of a nation enlisting such a guy as a regular in the army. Let's say I wouldn't sleep well in a dorm beside him

If we all agree to it, I won't summon any other Tartarian

Mightypeon is free to chime in of course. However, "no tarts" was not a stipulation that the game began with, and not even an actual proposal on my part (just wishful thinking). I am guessing, based on you not knowing where to find your new tartarian toy, that this is a new aspect of the game for you. I've never noticed anyone making a game that actually bans tartarians, so using them here will be a helpful learning tool for you for future games.

For what reasons should Tarts be banned?
With Undead GoR they are es expensive as most other SC choices (12+20 or so), and fyi I am fairly well equipped to cheaply deal with undead things.
Sneaky Things and Remote Things are much more annoying

I almost feel sorry for the Iron Angels. What are they now, 0 for 4?

I'll know the string of losses are starting to really hurt when you stop giving the new ones cute names like General Zukhov and Zmey Removal System X9000, and start naming them "next".

In vanilla there is just "Gift of Reason" and it works on any non-commander unit. CBM changed it. GoR is much cheaper, but does not work on undead (tartarians). They put in a new spell "Restore Soul" that costs more (I think it is the same as vanilla GoR) and works only on undead.

Dom 3 is more like a culture than a game... hat off for the designers!

A note about an upcoming pause: I will be away 8 or 9 days starting a week from today (probably completely without dominions). I will try to take whatever turn is up before I leave town, and then set a really long timer.
