About the most minor tweak you could imagine

[st.patrik]

It has always bugged me that spells like 'Rain' and 'Storm' don't require any water gems to cast! I mean - what happens when it rains/when there's a storm is that water comes out of the sky. Shouldn't it be 2 Air 1 Water for Rain, and 3 Air 2 Water for Storm, or something like that?

BTW I know this is a very very minor issue - I just had to get it off my chest.

And another thing� (this is fast becoming 'Patrik's extremely minor comments thread')

I think unicorns should have a horn attack.

I mean, if *I* was a unicorn, I'd gore people with my horn. I'd be ok if this was instead of the hoof attack - maybe for a greater damage than the hoof attack.

[Psitticine]

I'd have to check on the solo unicorns, but I know most of the unicorn riders (those who aren't using spears and other long weapon instead) have an Alicorn attack. The Alicorn, for those who are curious, is the unicorn's horn.

It's a pretty decent attack too. Skewers 'em right well, it does, it does.

Do we have a Flagellant commander?
If not, we should have.

Why do unicorn riders with long weapons not get an Alicorn attack? In Dom I a knight with a lance also gets his broadsword attack and a hoof attack. Has this changed, or is there something I don't know about the way Dom I worked?

and by the way, thanks for the reply

While we're at it - flagellants spend most of their time whipping themselves with spiked flails, they should get random afflictions from that.

I think a 'never-healing wound' would be most appropriate

but seriously, the things I mentioned are things I'm honestly curious about, even if they're very small issues - I mean, a unicorn isn't just a fast horse, and rain isn't made up of very dense droplets of air.

Does anyone else have little niggling details that never sat right with them about things in Dom I? If so, post hardly important details here!

In Doms I you need water gems to cast it.

Scouts/spies/etc. with the Undead General or Valor heroic ability should be allowed to lead troops. Same when equipped with +leadership items.

Awe and Fear should be mutually exclusive, judging from their descriptions: "This being is truly magnificent and noone would dare to strike at this beauty..." and "The creature is so horrific to behold..." just seem a really really weird mix...

You sometimes see strange "free castle" events under the sea (local lord building a dry-ground fortress to protect his lands against revolting peasants).

Ermor censors sometimes popup in underwater castles... and drown instantly.

I do not think they should be exclusive, although perhaps the description of awe should exclude the beauty reference or at least change it to splendour or magnificence or something. I think it is appropriate with both feelings of awe and dread when you find yourself in the presence of the divine.

Heh.

I believe flagellants do come with afflictions. At least souless does. They might even be headless.

Alicorn is used as well as broadsword. The unicorn uses his horn instead of a hoof. Alicorns are more powerful than hoofs.

Knights have never used lances at the same time as their swords. The first round of combat the lance is used instead of the sword.
