Re: Vanheim - help wanted.

As others have said, the biggest problem with your design is that Bless effects cannot be obtained by empowerment or items, so you have to have level 4 paths on your pretender from the start. You...

Re: Dominions II: Technical/Hardware Issues

Not sure - if you set all the graphics settings to lowest, I don't think it needs hardware accel, but if you're in Linux you do still need the opengl libraries (libmesa). You need them even if you...

Re: A MATTER OF HONOR

Er, I think the recent Ermor thread concluded that SG is perhaps Ermor's strongest theme, especially for 1v1. No idea about RotR, though it would be hard to be better than base Caelum.

Anyway,...

Re: Super-Combatants

Since none of us can open it, could you perhaps just tell us about this SC?

Re: And another thing...

Ok so if it's not a morale check, what is it based on? How is it modified? Presumably an Arch Devil has a better chance of getting past two militia than a light infantry has of getting past a hundred...

Re: And another thing...

AFAIU it's just a basic morale check for each squad(?) the unit passes on its way to the rear. If it passes the check then it keeps going, if not then it engages the unit it is trying to pass.

Re: caelum

Perhaps the additional paths give geometric rather than arithmetic extra horsemen.

Re: How do I add gems to a ritual spell?

... but once you've cast it, that's it. You can't go back and boost it with more gems later.

Re: What\'s your favourite heroic ability?

Yes, Toughness on a prophet is even better than Quickness. It means your prophet can fight in -10 dom with impunity.

Re: What\'s your favourite heroic ability?

Ooops. I think maybe I've become to used to SCs that I forgot that 10hp weaklings with heroic toughness turn into ... 27hp weaklings. So I think Awe might well be vying for 2nd place in my list.

Re: Your Dom2 quiz question for today

Doh. Yes of course, I had forgotten about the 2d6OE added to the 8AP damage. My bad. Looks like I should have gone for F9W9 on my pretender then ... but, er, then he wouldn't have been a rainbow...

What\'s your favourite heroic ability?

I tend to play SC strategies a lot, so I really like to make use of heroic abilities. I reckon there are three distinct classes of heroic ability - here are my thoughts (sorry if this has been done...

Re: I have never won a sp game...

Yeah right - and now try it with a poor or normal world and difficult or very difficult research .... there's not a lot of point playing SP if you're going to make it so easy.

Re: Your Dom2 quiz question for today

I don't see how the vans won this, since the F9 blessing is useless against the centaurs' 15 prot (19 once berserk). W9 gets the vans double attacks but even so I'd have still expected them to lose. ...

Re: rlyeh void gate

I reckon rushing to Construction 8 and forging the Chalice is not a lot harder (if at all) than capturing an Arco priestess. First you have to find Arco - if you're in a full MP game they could be...

Re: Dom III release date

What intrigues me is how little J & K respond to all the bazillion comments and suggestions about...

Re: Your Dom2 quiz question for today

P.S. Griffin - the berserk E9N9 centaurs only have 19 prot, because the +6 from the berserk does not stack arithmetically with their existing 15 protection - you have to use that formula which...

Re: Your Dom2 quiz question for today

Who said anything about a fair fight? It's true that I didn't mention the Arch Devil, and I think GrayZ's right, most of the 18 dead centaurs were the AD, and he might have won the battle if the...

Your Dom2 quiz question for today

In the red corner - 70 vans with F4W4S4N4D4B4 blessing

In the blue corner - 50 white centaurs with E9N9 blessing

If that's too easy, by what ratio does the winning...

Re: I have never won a sp game...

?? The bless effects are fixed at the start of the game, so wishing for magic power on your pretender shouldn't make any difference. Can you post a screenie of your prophet with 9-eveything bless?

Re: Fighting Commanders and Equipment.

There are a few low level items which do not become obsolete - the Burning Pearl is my favourite - make it straight away and then pass it to an Ice Devil later on ...

Re: Newbie\'s first impressions

Hmmm. I can see that Dom2's combat would disappoint if you were used to the tactical control of MoM or AoW. I played VGA Planets even before I played MoM, so Dom2's pbem-style combat videos were...
