If not, we should have.

While we're at it - flagellants spend most of their time whipping themselves with spiked flails, they should get random afflictions from that.

I think a 'never-healing wound' would be most appropriate

but seriously, the things I mentioned are things I'm honestly curious about, even if they're very small issues - I mean, a unicorn isn't just a fast horse, and rain isn't made up of very dense droplets of air.

Does anyone else have little niggling details that never sat right with them about things in Dom I? If so, post hardly important details here!

In Doms I you need water gems to cast it.

Scouts/spies/etc. with the Undead General or Valor heroic ability should be allowed to lead troops. Same when equipped with +leadership items.

Awe and Fear should be mutually exclusive, judging from their descriptions: "This being is truly magnificent and noone would dare to strike at this beauty..." and "The creature is so horrific to behold..." just seem a really really weird mix...

You sometimes see strange "free castle" events under the sea (local lord building a dry-ground fortress to protect his lands against revolting peasants).

Ermor censors sometimes popup in underwater castles... and drown instantly.

I do not think they should be exclusive, although perhaps the description of awe should exclude the beauty reference or at least change it to splendour or magnificence or something. I think it is appropriate with both feelings of awe and dread when you find yourself in the presence of the divine.

Heh.

I believe flagellants do come with afflictions. At least souless does. They might even be headless.

Alicorn is used as well as broadsword. The unicorn uses his horn instead of a hoof. Alicorns are more powerful than hoofs.

Knights have never used lances at the same time as their swords. The first round of combat the lance is used instead of the sword.

You're absolutely right - I misremembered.

However, the point still applies to 'Storm'

and BTW, what is the difference in effect between 'Rain' and 'Storm'? It seems from the description that 'Storm' is more powerful, but I've never used 'Rain'.

Ah - the things you learn. So lances are just for the first 'charge' - this makes perfect sense, but I didn't know it was this way. Thanks for the info.

re. Awe/Fear: I always thought of Awe and Fear as two ends of the spectrum, the zero point being your average guy who has neither. In this case Awe would spring from not wanting to cut down such a magnificent creature, whereas Fear would be the opposite - wanting to, but being afraid to. To me it would even make sense to have them check different stats - something like Fear checking morale and Awe checking magic resistance (lest you be charmed by the great magnificence and beauty of the awesome creature). This way Awe wouldn't just be Fear under another name.

[what would be funny would be to have a fear-inducing creature facing off against an awe-inducing creature, and have them fail their respective checks and both run away ]
