Can you command respect? Some kind of new summon?

And I think there should be also coma before 'enchanted' in last sentence. And I do not see bronze cap on his head either

P.S. There is still mistype when you wish for armageddon, you get 'the biggest earthquake every seen'.

"Command respect" is perfectly normal English, it is a widely used expression. There is no need for the comma either, Zeldor.

The wish events and other spell events were never typo-fixed because they are in different files than the descriptions.

Are you English as a second language Zeldor? Not saying that to be insulting, but to "command respect" is used so often in America it's a cliche. I'm also pretty sure adding a comma before enchanted would be a splice (so don't do it).

Hehe, yeah. In most parts of the world they teach Oxford English, which is a bit different

British English doesn't need the comma either, and is quite happy with commanding respect for that matter.

Excellent work Kristoffer, I really like the guy with the curved horn, I hope his stats make him worth recruiting!

This thread does remind me of Endoperez's thread before Dom3, of course I was a complete newbie then, so easily fooled/impressed.

Don't forget the map that will never be (but will really, eventually, hopefully...)

Cant wait to see them all.

I cant help feeling these giants will be rather unique in MA and LA. So far, all the inately magical races have dwindled in numbers during the Middle age, and LA is basically dominated by humans. I guess angelic blood was stronger than Van and Jotun.

Rather interesting twist, though - sacred lands never conquered by Rome/Ermor, all these giants perserving their semi-antique culture well into the Middle Ages.

Agree, I think keeping the giants, angelic blood in those nations well into MA and LA adds an interesting development in dom history for not only are humans ever more dominant in late ages they have almost all turned to death magic. Those nations, if based on fire, nature and astral as I suspect they should would differ in that respect as well.

They would sort of be the worlds last hope against evil and man nations such as Ermor and R'lyeh.

I'd also like to comment that the screenies are awesome and that at this point I practically can't wait to see the new patch, though OtoH I'm willing to wait as much as required for the beta testing.

OT, Meglobob, are you back?- Will you be playing MP anytime soon?- You know Fearsome Legions exploded [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Grenade.gif[/img] after you left (not by your absence though). Shame, for it just reached a boiling point [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Campfire.gif[/img]
