Hilarious R'lyeh Dreamlands moment (SPOILER)

[Sindai]

I always liked to name the ancient kraken pretender Cthulu. He's got all the really essential features.

Interesting.

Y'know, my warped mind is wondering whether it's still possible to have multiple prophets through either Enslave Mind + Gift of Reason, or Hellbind Heart -- if memory serves, the prophet flag was not cleared by such spells in Dom II.

Granted, an insane prophet that spends most of his time dreaming may not be a very valuable commodity, but still.

Sounds buggy.

I wonder if mages will decide to randomly empower themselves while you're saving up for globals...

Yes, it was possible, but only to insane players such as Nagot Gick Fell or such !

I just played my very first game of Dom3 as Dreamlands last night, and if I understand the rules correctly, it was amazingly helpful...

I set up a random small map game against three mighty AIs; I wasn't sure if dominion strength mattered, but I decided to try with 10 to see the effects. I took out Abysia with no trouble, and I was eventually able to grind down Patalia, but by that time Caelum held half the map and had fortressed off much of it. My armies were bigger, but Caelum's were much better, and I was trying desperately to find something that would work when I realized that my dominion was spreading incredibly rapidly through the map - I had been averaging maybe a prophet every other turn since the midgame, and by this point I probably had more temple checks each turn than there were provinces to build temples in. Four turns of just hitting "next turn" later and I ascended; Caelum just couldn't compete with that much spread. This wouldn't matter in a multiplayer game, but it was very funny to watch.
