A few Pangaea questions

UninspiredName · #1 November 6th, 2006, 06:36 PM

1: Do I have any hope of getting some decent Death magic up and running without a rainbow pretender? I'm pretty much addicted to that school of magic. (And I find the concept of undead Dryads really cool. Don't ask me why)

2:Is there any way to turn a Pan's flute off? I love swarming and the free units can really come in handy, but the upkeep hurts.

3:Is Turmoil 3 a good or bad idea? Kind of ties in with the last question.

4

oes Pangaea have any particularly good national spells I should know about?

Please keep in mind, some of these questions might not make sense as I'm playing off Dominions 2 while I wait for D3 to arrive.

1: Play LA pan or just take some death on your pretender (he dosnt have to be rainbow) and summon undead mages.
2: Play LA or no
3: Not with order/turmoil having as big an effect as the currently do (turmoil 1 might be allowable)
4: Well carrion woods is nice but nothing very big

whoops, didnt read your playing dom2. That in mind just forget what i said about carrion woods and eras.

Actually, Dominions 3 are probably better. Thanks for the response!

After making a rainbow pretender and jacking the Turmoil down to 1, most of the issues I had are resolved.

Dom 3 and SP thus far:

1: I always try to (unless double bless) get 4D for the EA/MA pretender, death magic really is too good to pass up.

2: Naw, better get them killed faster

.

3: I find turmoil/luck a really worthy option now (instead of no-brainer order/misfortune back in Dom2) that there are more gold-generating events and as the luck scale actually gets you more good events.

4: I like the carrion summons a lot. They're very cost effective and require little mage time. Also, Carrion Lords are H3 - especially nice in LA when your Dryads are H1.
