The sad thing is that it doesn't even hurt his Precision all that much. 7 => 5.

(Random event, Early Spring)
If you're saying that was should be were, as written it's actually fine British English. The way collective nouns should be referred to is one of the differences.
I think its, "prime of the season" ie mid mid winter for death gems? Certainly not early spring which is a time of birth/growth, early spring represents life the exact opposite of death.
Yes, I was amused by the concept of a prime season for death. Having it appear in early spring just added irony.

Huh, you're right. I thought magic bonuses got added in afterwards, but I guess that's just for bonuses from weapons and such. IIRC blind Tartarian Cyclopses still manage to hit things with thrown lightning.

AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!
Now I remember one thing I loved, and hated, about Dom3. Its addictiveness. I complained all the way back in day one of beta.

Start with a list of things you want to double check (such as lately with Edi's Map Editing faq). Start a "stupid quick little test game" just to check something. End up spending all day PLAYING the stupid quick little test game withouit getting to the next thing on the list!

This game is NOT suitable for students, interns, apprentices, or anyone else who is expected to pass tests on a regular basis. Do not think about strategies while operating heavy machinery. Before beginning this game make arrangements for someone to check on you daily. If you find that your game has continued for more than 36 hours straight then you should consult a physician immediately (Do NOT show him the game!)

Yeah, I do that quite a lot. I spent several hours the other day trying to kill the AI using just a modded dragon creature I'd added in as a recruitable on Silent Seas as a test. Recruit dragons (commanders, so one at a time), fly them around, siege forts, come back to defend my territory... hours. Ridiculous!
