As far as I can find out, it just works like normal if a blind mage casts it and Fate of Oedipus just cancels the spell without doing anything to a blind mage.

Edit: Fate of Oedipus is still probably better than just Dispel to get rid of Eyes of God just because you don't need to match gems or pass the die roll like Dispel, though. Plus there's the difference in gem/path requirements, but that's fairly obvious.

Since (I'm assuming) there are a lot of Dominions 3 fans frequenting this topic, I'd like to share a Dominions 3 tool that I particuarly like: UnitGen.

I love Dominions 3 mods.  All the new nations to explore, the new units to ponder, the mages to examine.  The above tool makes new nations, at random.

[a1s]

We should have a unitgen game.

We should have a unitgen game.

I actually had a cool idea about that: Time-limited pretender submissions with unitgen!  Someone generates enough unitgen nations for everyone, then posts it, then everyone only has like six hours to submit their pretenders.

EDIT: It also occurs to me that I haven't given a "Kill Il Palazzo's R'lyeh" rant in quite some time.  So here it is:
Il Palazzo: Good Dominions 3 player + LA R'lyeh: Ultimate LA nation = Everybody else dead.

I don't mean to sound offensive or anything, but this very 'meta' decision to gangbang Il Pazzichinodo (because he's amazing) is unfortunately probably for the best.

Also, on unitgen : Sounds cool! There was also another mod which meant you could pick your national spells / units / commanders. That one seemed good

[EuchreJack]

To be fair, it's not just because Il Palazzo is amazing, although that is reason enough to gang up on him.  It's also standard to gang up on LA R'lyeh, regardless of player.

I'm also being overly alarmist because I worry that others don't see how much of a threat this is.  I make no appology for my paranoia.

You are right entirely. LA Ermor, R'yleh, and to a lesser extent Pangaea, should all be singled out, because taking them on in the lategame is basically not an option.

[Stworca]

I would scratch the "LA" from Ermor, as some EA builds for that nation are simply ridiculous.

[Korbac]

STWORCA! The legend of lp's.

What about EA Mictlan? Doesn't that bless rush lololololol all over your country?

[Karlito]

I don't really buy that. Any nation that survives into the lategame will have had a sound strategy and sufficient resources such that it's difficult to defeat them.

[Korbac]

Some more than others, though. I'm willing to go out and say that if the game goes into the late - lategame, unless I get a significant gold / gem advantage, I'm pretty much screwed.

[Karlito]

Well certainly Supercombatants lose their relative effectiveness as the game goes on, but the whole point of having that SC is that you get to build a province(i.e. gold and gem) advantage early on.

I also don't understand why you'd think you'd be screwed in the lategame. Jomon has powerful national summons, magical diversity, and underwater units immune to R'lyeh insanity.

EDIT: Also, I'd note that Gath doesn't actually share a border with R'lyeh, so it certainly would be to EuchreJack's advantage for those nations that do to put their resources into a disadvantageous underwater assault while he expands on land.

[Korbac]

The summons are good, I'll agree, but the base paths on my mages mean I will need to consistently spend gems and mage time on forging items for them if I want the high - end summons.

[EuchreJack]

You bring up a valid point.  Therefore, in the interests of fairness, anyone that engages in an underwater assault versus R'lyeh will recieve compensation from me.  Gold, items, gems, etc.

EDIT: Gee, that is an awful lot of troops you've got on my border Pangea.  You're not planning something nasty, I hope?

The Wheel has turned, Nothing is new under the sun, and all that happened shall happen again. Once more a horde of northern barbarians have sacked yet another Eternal City. The Citizens of Ermor thought themselves clever when instead of a rich city of merchants and conquerors, the invaders found a gigantic tomb, and instead of plentiful temples filled with golden regalia, and nubile priestesses- a giant bone cathedral decorated with skulls. But fate can not be fooled, for with the invader came a dozen dozens wolves, who gnawed the bones for a dozen days, and the Eternal City was no more.
