He~ey, I found something else interesting.  The Titan of the Underworld now has a cursed helm that grants Invisibility.  He also has Stealthy (40) and Assassin (3).  Is this our first assassin-SC-pretender?

I did some testing with bless sillyness, here are some screenshots:

Marigon Super knights (killed everything easily)

Bless - just protection basically. Could add stigian skin for another +10 invu.

Blood Bond seems exploitable, since you can get the damage to 0? Add to that high protection and regeneration and you might be able to deal with anything, if you have a big enough blob... Mhmm

Exploitable?:

First complaint: I hate the generic-fantasy-wargame music.

You can have boars that never starve and explode when they die. I did a quick test of 240 Various troops (about 80 ranged) vs 15 suicide boars - they killed 24 real troops.

...

You can do the same thing with eagle warriors.

*emerges from hiatus*

By cosmic coincidence I just happened to check Illwinter's web page today to see just how out of date my Dom4 version is. "Holy cow, Dominions 5 released today!?". Not the best time for me to be spending 30€ on a videogame, so I'll wait 'n see for a bit. But consider my interest piqued for early 2018 PBEM funtimes.

Isn't he had helmet before?

Yes, but the eagle warriors have social mores that prevent them from having a constant orgy in whatever fort (presumably festively draped in BVCs, since they're disease immune too) that they all live in.

sceleria, d10 imprisioned pretender, 45 gold priests that you can recruit 2 per turn and can carry 110 undead each.

Ah, it appears that is indeed correct, but it's not displayed on the pretender screen.  His Stealthiness was more powerful in Dom4, though, so it's been nerfed.

This is probably obvious to everyone already, but some bless effects are stackable. So you can spend all your earth points to get +5 reinvigoration or whatever.

Elephants seem scary again.

That is all.

Re: Stackable bless:

You can take heart companions and give them "larger" + "3x Attack skill increase" to have the most mighty of all mighty repell lance/spear things. The spare fire can be used to add Solar-Weapons.

Bets on how long RanDom will take to get up to snuff with Dom5?

I vaguely recall reading that repel was nerfed to be one check per square rather than one check per weapon.

[ThtblovesDF]

Yeah they are not that effective.

So Chill Aura on Niefel Giants is extremly rough on any normal troops and even more so on anything amored.

You can combine it with heat aura, which claims to give fire resistance (5), but... doesn't, at least not if you also have chill aura.

Overall making whatever the unit already has even stronger works great - like giving the LA pan ladys double-awe (and if you feel kinky + fear) will result in a nice one-trick-pony that beats any human troops in melee by never letting them make there moral check.
