Ah ok, it is on page 4 or something -- odd, I thought it was stickied to the end, ok.

By the way, Cherry, you write that luck gives a *cumulative* national hero % chance, but I am fairly sure that that is not the case (i.e., luck 3's 6% chance does not mean there is a 60% of a hero appearing on turn 10). Sorry if this is old news, but it is still in the sticky.

Newbie here. Tried the demo, loved it, bought the game, and lost miserably to Ermor after they cast "Burden of Time".

Question.
How do you dispel Global Enchantments? The Manual said to left-click to dispel, but no matter whether I left- or right-click, I still only get a spell-description window instead of a dispel screen. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong here?

My current Version is 2.02

You have to research Dispel - Level 5 Enchantment and you need a level 3 astral mage with at least 30 gems. Look on page 106 of the manual.

You can also donwload a rtf file in which I'm trying to include all the interesting answer about rules I found in the forum. I have tryed to mae the file as an integration of the dom2 manual, so it has the same structure as the dom2 manual

http://arrakis.unimo.it/~ligabue/dom...al_addenda.rtf

... I try to keep the file updated as much as I can

I'm also compiling a skills/abilities reference chart with the in-game information and also something from this forum ... you can look it at

http://arrakis.unimo.it/~ligabue/dom2/index.php

there is also a race description

2004-05-23 Upddated both the rtf file and the skill lists

good luck
Liga

I love this game at the same time it makes me want to drink. Anyway, here are some newby questions, I apologize if they've been covered elsewhere, but I wasn't able to find them in the forum.

1) I just got cool army 'X' stomped in a single player scenario. How do I go back a turn to change my armies orders so I can try for a better result? You know, the handy save move that every other strategy game under the sun has.

2) I just created cool mod 'X'. Where do I post it so other folks can take a look at it? Noticed that the New Mod forum on Shrapnel Games doesn't have a Dom2 thread.

3) Where can I find the preset alliances in a map? An earlier posting said that computer players can be setup at the start to have alliances with you. Where is this visible?
