Re: Kristoffer\'s encouragement thread

To return somewhat to the original theme: Kristoffer was hoping for some inspiration to get him into writing some fun new background stuff for Dom3. A couple of ideas that spring to mind (dunno if...

Re: Kristoffer\'s encouragement thread

I'd strongly support making the game (and in particular, the AI), more moddable. If you look at what has been achieved with a game like Hearts of Iron II, it's impressive how big an improvement has...

Re: Superheroes dominating Dominions 3 ?

I agree with Edi on this one, if all nations were able to take the same scales, then if there was one best scale strategy for one nation, it would be the best scale strategy for all nations; i.e. no...

Re: About the Sea King (EA)

I'm not aware of any leader that gives air-breathing. There is an Amulet or something which gives air-breathing to aquatic commanders, although you probably know that.

Re: Pls explain how early summoning spells are use

I've never actually summoned the eater of the dead, so can't really comment. He sounds kind of interesting, maybe I should give it a go some time. What's the problem with him? He attacks provinces at...

Re: What I\'d like see AI do in SP play

I agree with the lemming tendency. The AI really should be better at assessing odds. I assume there is some algorithm at the moment; I haven't looked into modding at all. Are there any AI options...

Re: Pls explain how early summoning spells are use

Well, maybe. It's true that Nature doesn't seem to have any really game winning summoning spells at the high levels, so maybe 2 Vine Ogres a turn for two gems is a good use of your average mage's...

Re: Pls explain how early summoning spells are use

One of my biggest complaints with Vine Ogres is how slow they are to summon. I think best case (Vine King + Crown of Vine King) is 3 ogres a turn? (I'm open to correction on this.) Early in the game,...

Re: Simultaneous movement

Yes, but if we have friendly armies A and B, all in the same province, and enemy armies C, D and E, in different provinces (all moving into your province), and army A moves into hostile province C...

Re: Pls explain how early summoning spells are use

I have a problem with a couple of the Nature summons. Summon Treelord gets you a static N4 commander with no hand slots. Summon Ivy King gets you a mobile N3 commander, who you can give the staff...

Re: Simultaneous movement

Well, in the game which originally got me to raise this question, I'm really not convinced that the system was working as it says in the manual. I tried invading his province I'd say at least six...

Could somebody explain to me please exactly how movement is worked out when two enemy sides are trying to move into different provinces?

To give the exact example:

Turn one: I attempt to move...

Re: Wish List: Routing

As examples of how not to do it, though, both Rome: Total War and Heroes of Might and Magic used to drive me slightly nuts the way they would recalculate the route without telling you, if they bumped...

Re: Assassins

To return slightly to the original post, I also picked up "The Master Assassin" (I think he was called) as a mercenary. He came with an ethereal cloak and a sword of sharpness, so while not exactly a...

Re: Wish List: Routing

Yes, a very nice feature. Anything which reduces micro management is a good thing, in my opinion. However it would require building some route finding into the program (taking into account the speed...

Alchemist\'s stone bug

I was trying to understand how the Alchemist's Stone works. Gave it to a character and converted gems to gems... no effect. So then I thought, it must be gems into gold, that would make sense. So I...

Re: Introduce yourself!! :-)

Yeah I should probably get myself a new chair. My current one wasn't that bad when I bought it, but that was a few years ago and it's getting a bit old now.

A good chair definitely helps, but you...

Re: Missed questions

http://www.freewebs.com/dominions2/ has a lot of useful stuff. For example, it has a list of the hotkeys, and it has a list of all the tips you get between turns.

I do think you're perhaps...

Hi all. Yes my name really is Merlin. (I had slightly counterculture parents in the 70s; my Dad is a poet, although not successful enough for any of you to have actually seen any of his work, and has...

Re: questions (and is there a FAQ anywhere?)

Yes I realise that the "Any Land" Nature sites can appear in mountains. However if (as I assume) the game compiles a weighted list (allowing on rarity) for each site in a province, then the chances...

Re: questions (and is there a FAQ anywhere?)

Well, like I said, I have half a dozen badly afflicted sacred troops, so it's probably worth waiting a turn or two, and I could probably benefit from doing a troop build up anyway and letting my...
