Well this guy was just a ordinary everyday commander, not really fit to make a prophet. It just wouldn't make cents!

A certain prophet you almost can't help hearing about was a carpenter!

And the reasons not to do promote ordinaries to prophethood skyrockets.

I'm pretty sure he's not a promoted prophet so much as an ascended god.  Sort of like the lich, if I remember correctly...

RE: Ordinary everyday commander GOTO prophet: Where else do you think I get my prophets?  Seriously, you generally want them quick rather than good.  That smite spell is AWESOME early on.  Plus, they've got armor and usually a shield to keep them alive, so score!

Generally, the only time I don't just make my first commander a prophet is when I make the starting scout a prophet instead.  Scout prophets RULE (if your nation doesn't otherwise have recruit access to stealth priests).  Since most starting armies can't take all possible independents, I usually don't send out my starting army on turn one (but if they're one of the better starting armies, such as Abysia, then I might).  That leaves them either patrolling and taxing for some extra starting gold or making their commander into my prophet.  If the commander already has a ranged weapon, they really don't need the smite spell.

Why yes, I have played my first turn of Dominions 3 more times that I can count...

Usually the only thing I use Prophets (and priests in general honestly) for is the Divine Bless spell.

Well, at least in the early game. Later on I tend to summon something like the Eater of the Dead, hit it with Gift of Reason and then make it Prophet to send its HP and such through the roof. (That specific situation is fun and hilarious. Never actually got the thing to turn on me, but I think it woulda been kinda cool if it had, seeing as it was pretty much the most powerful thing in the universe at that point )

These are some of the reasons why I want to establish the whole "meeting of the Generals" thing, so that you guys can say "Hey, that's retarded yo. Do this instead..."

Bleh. Posting to watch, because I had a similar idea. Excpet that I was going to crank up gold/resources/gem sites and literally let the players with commanders/mages do whatever they like.

You should do yours anyway, because...well to be honest I'm not so good at follow through, already this has kinda gone on the back-burner of games I play.

So yeah, definitely do yours.

I'm not that good at follow through either, honestly, but I'll see what I can do. It's going to take lots of time to write up the OP though.

I hope you both do one of these.  More is better, kay?

Alright, alright. I'm working on it, okay? Just don't expect it anytime soon. Gotta lot of nations and mechanics to summarize and stuff like that.
