Gift of Reason

Yojinbo · #1 September 30th, 2003, 05:59 PM

Wise beta-testers tell me, will we still have Gift of Reason in Dom II?

I play a lot Pangea (or nature-heavy man) because no one else in my group wants to and I've learned to love this spell. One game I had a mage who would cast the domination spell a lot - I would end comabt with various enemy creatures on my side. I loved to cast Gift of reason on them and give them a crown of command and send them back against thier fromer master as a general - just to add panache.

Or Gift of reason a cave drake and then school him in magic for a non-pretender tank mage.

Why would have they removed GoR from Dominions II?

Yes, Gift Of Reason is still here and kicks ***. I like to use it to in specific situations; one time I gave it to Tarrasque (great dragon) so he can lead troops and use breath weapon while they protect him. Its really interesting spell and I like having it in game.

Hey, wait...

In Dom1 dragons were pretenders. How could you have a Tarrasque, except as a pretender, and if you did, why did you need to cast Gift of Reason to it?
*shudder*...
Oh, wait... Wish? Uh-oh. I wouldn't like to be opposing a nation who can make things like THAT!

Speak about spell-combos!

Thanks! Love that spell. I recall dominating Bogus one time (I think it was Bagus) and makeing him my general.

Tarrasque is level 9 summoning. I think it requires level 7 in nature too and uses poisonous dragon breath.

Nerfix, I've checked before posting this time.

Wish! That's what I did to annoy my fiend. I wished for Troll Raider, Gift of Lifed him, and nammed him Bogus.

Ah, those infamous Visitors! They are in DOM2, aren't they? Atleast they were in both CoE and Dom1...
By the way, I haven't seen them in a long time... Have always went for positive luck scales. Were they that powerful?

Ok, checked it and it requires level 5 in nature and 25 nature gems to summon. Description says that spell "Awakens ancient sleeping dragon".
