Single player.

Magnate you said there are tons of threads on making good SCs....if there are, I am missing them... don't see any on search.

Yes, the search function on this board is icky - I still have huge problems getting what I want. If you try this search string

+"SC" -"Re"

you get at least four likely-looking threads on the first page, and plenty more on subsequent pages. Read the anti-SC threads as well, they will have useful nuggets too.

The biggest thing that I think blows away new players is the default setting on the natives. Turn that up to 6 or 7 and you will have a much better game. Yes expansion is slower but the AI does much better against weak natives than you do so at 2 or 3 you will always get rushed.

As to pretenders, they all have their pros and cons so they can be as personal a choice to your style as the nation is. Some people make great use of high magics, or flying, or high hit points, or stealth, or diplomacy, or the fact that the pretender tosses out its own units each turn.

I'll try cranking up the difficulty of the natives.

Magnate, I tried that.... got one page of responses, none of which were usefull.

Speaking of Dom 2 guides, has anyone put together a spreadsheet that I might use to show and sort the Spells. I would love a utility that would tell me what spells become available if I have given path levels (as well as their effects, gem costs, etc...)

Thanks, sorry if this question has been asked before.

I think the online Grimoire is what you want.

What's good about typos is that they make searching for known sites so much easier.
