THE List of Dominions2 Questions

I like the unique armors! I almost always try to make that Callius Robe, Virtue Armor is nice for non-astral commanders, I like Fenris Pelt, and those heavy ones are good for just protecting people who dont do much but cast fatigue-low spells or carry important items (such as the Sword of Augelmer).

- I find the Green Eye to be fairly meek for being unique and requiring eyeloss
- I dont particularly like Blink, but I suppose that is because I dont use SCs, so hence I never get those Crane Boots
- Never made the Crown of Overmight, I find it mighty unsexy.
- I have never made a number of the weapons, they didnt seem particularly appealing.

oh I just meant those two heavy protection armors, I guess you are almost always better off with marble armors. The others are useful.

The green eye´s specialty is the +2 penetration bonus.
You can stack it with the other penetration items and get a +6 bonus.
And it casts sleep in battle, so you have more chance for your charming/hellbind heart to work =).

I havn't found the twin spear that turns killed units into longdead to be really useful. The other twin spear that summons lessor horrors is pretty cool, though!

There should be some way to get a hint were the unique items currently are (like the libraries provided in WarlordsI). I think it is fun to be able to track and hunt down the wearer of a unique artefact. After all, the uniques shoud have some reputation which might be difficult to conceal...
(...or are spies already capable of reporting about unique items?)

Good idea .

Indirectly you can see at least the battleuniques when you watch battles of your opponents with your spies .
At least this way you can spot the magebane using AQ

PS: Same holds for the Hall of Fame. Suggestion: For each champion a province name (not the number) might be listed, having a delay of 1-3 turns (random).

That would be cool. But -- I just had a "powerful mage magically attack" etc etc - and the game wouldn't even tell me in which of my *own* provinces my *own* mage had died.

Since no-one has gone after original question 3):
If the sieging nation casts, it hits the defenders. If the defenders cast, it hits the siege force. Not sure what happens if a third nation casts-- anyone want to test that?
And on 4): Winter Bringer (casts Falling Frost for free, yay) probably shouldn't be unique. Be sure to load MR items on holder of Stone Sword or Sword of Many Colors. Carcator's +2 research is lost since you likely have all research sewn up within the next 15 or so turns, a real what's the point? situation.
