Re: Thanks for the help!

It depends what do you use to kill them. If you're freezing or frying them, the morale seems to suffer much less.

Re: Thanks for the help!

Early magic is pretty effective vs AI. It's actually easy to outwit AI http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: It\'d make a reasonable game configuration opti

I think you're making wrong conclusions. Opponents were pretty good. My strategy was quite decent too. It was simply wrong - I expected to encounter uber-bless, but neither of my opponents didn't...

Re: Newbie help with EA marverni

Rainbow mage is a good idea, but don't use druids as a chassis. Ghost king is much better choice. You don't want astral on him and you don't need earth or blod either - that will save you some...

Re: Why no Save game Feature

Civ4 took rather interesting approach to save games. Reloading the game was so insanely slow that nobody would want to reload unless one absolutely must had to turn the computer off...

Re: It\'d make a reasonable game configuration opti

I'm not sure that it's that catastrophic. In SP game it's not a big deal. In MP game it's tough, but I've recently got 4 bad events in a row (turns 3 to 6) that brought unrest in my capital above 100...

Re: How to enable auto-save.

Try to run domsave.bat from outside of the game, from dominions directory (from command prompt). You should get some sensible message explaining the problem. One likely reason is that cygwin binaries...

Re: Why no Save game Feature

Curious thought: menu opens and shows:
-> Option A
-> Option B
-> More options ...
When "More Options" is clicked, another menu pops:
-> Option A1
-> Option B1
-> More options ...
etc......

Re: How to enable auto-save.

Good point, Arralen. I don't remember what exactly comes out of the box with Windows. But I remember that the simplest way to convert it into functioning OS is to install cygwin. Of course, you can...

Re: Lifedrain

Gloves are cheaper, they require different gems and mages to forge them. Though I don't usually find either option very useful. 1 sword of quickness + 1 area damage shield is more attractive in most...

Re: Gandalf\'s Crazy Solo Games

I was thinking about such map for SP - primarily to make the game more challenging by making it easier for multiple AI nations to attack you early in the game.

Re: Repeat request.

If you carefully look at why it's easy to back up files it will start to make sense. The simplest approach (at least in the eyes of Windows users) would use windows explorer. Windows explorer (and...

How to enable auto-save.

Dom3 always auto-saves the current turn (it consists of .trn and .2h files and fthrelnd file in savedgames/gamename directory). However, if nothing else is done those files will be overwritten at the...

Re: Dev style. It\'s their product.

You can set Dominions to auto-save every turn - no need to waste time saving it manually at all (whether through professional or non-professional means). That's probably the most convenient approach...

Re: Repeat request.

Compare this to the current: "Let those who want saves turn them on". So what was your argument about, once again? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Gandalf\'s Crazy Solo Games

Maze-like maps are fun, but they unfortunately makes the game against AI much easier.

I was thinking about 4D hyper-cube map with attached opposite side (sorry, can't recall how it is properly...

Re: Why no Save game Feature

Re: Why no Save game Feature

I'm not sure that's the real reason. My guess would be is that it's just too much effort for little gain. There're many other areas in the game where the equal effort would make much better...

Re: Why no Save game Feature

You don't need to go outside of the game to save. You need to go outside of the game to *reload*.
