The Eye of Aiming one is well known. I had to endure such a surprise some times ago, playing Caelum in a MP/team game. I had equiped several commanders, about a dozen, with Eye of Aiming + Bow of Botulf | | Ethereal Crossbow or something like that. One day came a big big battle against some ennemy, who sent a big flying SC on my rear lines. The said SC killed most of my bowmen/crossbowmen commanders, but I nevertheless won the battle. What resulted in several commanders picking twice an abandonned Eye of Aiming. My prophet did. By chance, my pretender did not. In the process, I lost the commanders killed in combat + 4-5 valuable mages & thugs blinded after combat. Since that day, the Eye of Aiming always makes me laugh ^^

Perhaps the developers can change its name to, 'eye of blinding'?

The sad thing is that it doesn't even hurt his Precision all that much. 7 => 5.

Huh, you're right. I thought magic bonuses got added in afterwards, but I guess that's just for bonuses from weapons and such. IIRC blind Tartarian Cyclopses still manage to hit things with thrown lightning.

AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!
Now I remember one thing I loved, and hated, about Dom3. Its addictiveness. I complained all the way back in day one of beta.

Start with a list of things you want to double check (such as lately with Edi's Map Editing faq). Start a "stupid quick little test game" just to check something. End up spending all day PLAYING the stupid quick little test game withouit getting to the next thing on the list!

If you find that your game has continued for more than 36 hours straight then you should consult a physician immediately (Do NOT show him the game!)
