7 little, 6 little, 5 little mages...


SO, how do I defend against the incredibly annoying arrows that keep appearing out of the sky over my laboratory and disrupting my research by slaughtering my researchers?

Domes, Amulets of Missile Protection, dummy targets (priests, scouts), researchers spread out to multiple provinces. Those come to mind.

Thanks guys! Follow up questions:
Which branch of research are domes in?
Which type of protection is important in defensive items, magic resistance?
What is the gem cost of firing the arrows (is buying scouts really a cost-effective defense)?

I have a question. Forest Dome only has a measly 30% chance of stopping a spell. What is so good about a forest dome? It's crap!

The only Nature Dome.
Lasts until burnt.
Cheap.
Domes are cumulative.
