Because it never shows up as an option. Shift-click on your target, and if you can raid you will. I'd love to say this is a place where it's helpful to remember to check the keyboard shortcuts via "?"; alas, however, that's no help in this particular case. You either know it (I wanna say it's in the manual, but I don't wanna go back and look) or you don't...

Actually, it does show up. It works the same as "Move and patrol" or "Sneak and attack". Give the move order first, then it'll be in the orders menu. At least, that's how I recall it working. It may default to raiding on shift-click if the commander is not stealthy, though.

Already tried that, it doesn't work, shift clicking worked though. However I have come to learn that it is usually a useless tactic as your army can be foiled by a weak patrol and if anyone attacks that province while you're raiding, your supposedly stealthy units fight... It seems pointless.

It's most useful for economically weakening rear provinces (that you don't think you could hold long enough to pillage) with flying/sailing raiders. It's definitely very far from being overpowered, though.

How do you know if your units can do that?

Commanders with pillage bonuses can lead raids. Commanders without can be given Implementor Axes then lead raids. Pillaging troops will raid better, but any troop can pillage if (and only if) the commander has a pillage bonus. Thus, indy barbarian commanders can raid with any troops, but indy barbarian troops can only raid with certain commanders.

If this hasn't changed, this is only for pillaging in provinces not owned. You can pillage your own provinces (if you know somebody else will conquer them, for example) with any commander.

Yup, this is for raiding. Anyone can pillage.

I found an ancient ruin and got an event for either a mage to explore it or an adventurer to enter it. I have sent all sorts of mages and commanders to it but none can enter it. Anyone know what I have to do?

I think it works on the basis of a %chance per turn to trigger an event - as long as you've got a mage or an adventurer in the province.

Yeah, they just need to be in the province - I had it happen to one of my mages the very next turn after they arrived.

Got two artifacts (Dwarven Hammer and Mirror Mail), then got attacked by a cave drake. Mage lost, but I got to keep the loot.

Does anyone have a working link for the newest cataclysm mod? 0.9.3 I believe.

It... looks like you can get 093 here? I didn't check too hard to see if the mod was actually working appropriately, just checked whether the link was functioning.

You probably actually want the one here, though. 0.9.3 is for dominions 3, the fork/port/whatever for dominions 4 appears to be up to 0.2.3.

So I've got 3 angel SCs who are up against an army of hundreds of undead. They are pretty much invincible. If the normal attacks of the skeletons and zombies have managed to get past the ethereal, luck, and invincible traits, then the damage would just be regenerated the next turn. Yet for some reason my SCs routed. I did not notice any damage, I did not notice any spells, they were just happily cutting away at the army with their firebrands. Is there something I'm missing? Some reason they would route?

Did they hack away for 50 turns straight? Attackers auto-rout at 50 turns, so unless they were berserk, they'd turn tail at that point.
