nicely laid.

I have the very same issues. I dont quite understand why all the Abysian have only 8 prec, whereas indeps units have 10. It is certainly detrimental to the use of fire magic, which was far from being imressive in Abysian Mages hands.

As for battle replay, it annoy me too. Combat take sooooooo longto watch, that either I dont look at them (a shame, because I like the 3D layout and particles effects), or if I really must check one, I take a book or browse a web forum while letting the combat run to the interesting point.
This is my major issue as of now in doms II, the rest can wait for me. In essence it screw somehow, for me, the whole 3D tac engine.

You had posted nothing new.
It is too easy to beat the crap out of the AI.
Even I can do it against impossible AIs, and I am very very very new.

Hey, Kair I have a question. Playing as C'tis, is it wise to make a pretender with 9 death/4 earth magic?

If you think that Serpent Dancers/Sacred Serpents/Tomb Wyrms with Lesser Fear and Life after Death/Fear and extra reivigoration are worth it, then it is. You also get Bligth, a cheap province bLasting spell and Blade Wind. You can also convert Earth gems to money and it is easy to build armies from Undead units with spells like Reanimation and Summon Shade Beasts.

I dont think life after death apply to Tombs Wyrms, they are already dead.
