-- Missing command:

Seduce Commander:
When in the same province as enemies, a succubus can attempt to seduce an enemy commander. Just as with assassination attempts, the player cannot choose which commander will be seduced. If the seduction succeeds, the succubus and the seduced commander will appear in the owning player's capital province. If it fails, she will attack the commander as if it were an assassination attempt.


Corrupt Commander: may or may not function the same way as Seduce Commander, but probably also tries to draw the commander to your side. To my knowledge it's only available to one Demon Lord, Belial, and I've never tried it.


Capture Slaves: Used only by Mictlan Tribal Kings and Priest Kings, it's used to press people into your army. Such troops have poor training, morale and equipment, but have excellent potential as cheap fodder for arrows, blade winds and the once-per-battle lance attacks of Knights.


Break Siege: Used only when under siege. Y'all charge out of the gates and hope you defeat your besiegers. The castle defenses will not help you in this fight.


Move and Patrol: Combination order; it automatically sets troops to patrol on arrival. Useful when you want the troops to defend outside the castle instead of remaining inside it.

Continue Fort Construction: Forts generally take multiple turns to build. If interrupted, you can resume construction with this option from the Construct Building menu. It costs you nothing but the commander's action since you've already paid upfront.


Sacrifice: Used only by the priests of Abysia, Vanheim, and Mictlan -- the latter of which MUST use it to spread dominion. Requires a temple to be present; the priest will sacrifice blood slaves in order to boost dominion.

Thanks! I'll add those now. And thanks to Zen and Gandalf as well, I'll update the relevant sections very soon=)

The Formula for Positive dominion on Pretender/Prophets is out!

For every level of dominion your Prophet/Pretender gains +20% of the base HP of the unit.

Impressive no?

Nice new tidbit (Thank you Johan) for those who are hosting games. It IS possible to have multiple directorys for pretender files, map files, game saves, etc etc. Dom2 recognizes 2 important environment variables. If these are set (sitting in memory) then Dom2 will use them.....

DOM2_SAVE
default="." Save directories and the newlords directory are created here. You need write permissions here.

DOM2_DATA
default="." Data files, the maps folder and the rawsound folder must be found here. You only need read permissions here.

Do not use quotes around the variable being set. The default shown as a period means that it defaults to the present directory its in (starting directory) but if you set DOM2_SAVE to be another directory then a newlords directory can be made off of that to store game-players pretender files in (not having to overwrite your own pretender files). And game save directories will appear off of there (not conflicing with your own games).

If you set DOM2_DATA to a directory then you can have different sounds. The players wont hear them but it would allow you to have a unique sound (I believe) for things like errors in order to get your attention better. And a seperate maps directory can be created off of the dir specificed in DOM2_DATA which would allow you to have unique maps reachable by a different icon.

So now that I know how to play, where can I play with other people?
Actually this is my only complaint with dom2. I dislike SP game, but I love TBS. I was hoping for a more friendly interface. or even just a place where people meet to start game. haven't found either on my own, so I thought I would post.

Thanks for reading and all your helpful advice!!

p.s.
you guys probably don't really care, and its not important. but when you quote the punctuation goes inside the quotes. god knows I suck at where to place a comma or a period.
