I'm real sick and tierd of getting hit with "population loss" and bad events in my capital in the first 3 turns tbh...

Ranting aside, Imprint souls creates some blessed units + priest, which can be used for some intresting effects, depending on your bless... Feels like it got upgraded.

_____
And the new pan summon ... i don't think its any good, even at "being high hp & protection + howl", you got better options.

Okay, so the new EA R'lyeh summon, Thaum 5 sea trolls slaves is pretty good. With the amount of pearl you get, it let you mount a decent stack to take on the cavalry and giant armies that the shamblers can't deal with. It's right in the Thaumaturgy tree too, which you want fast anyway. You still have the issue of having to build the pretender around the amulet of the fish, but I had a pretty easy time encroaching on land in my first game vs AI.

This is an interesting version of Dominions. On the surface, not many changes, since only few new factions etc. Under the hood, many changes like the combat and bless mechanics. Honestly, I don't buy Dom just for it is now, but for what it will be in a few years, knowing that there will be many updates coming.

Unrelated to that mental image....how do you get more commander points? Is it just flat tied to your fort type? Can't see any way to upgrade forts.

Yep, just fort type, and your maximum fort level is based on nation. If you're in the early age, you probably can't upgrade your fort any further.

I'm playing MA Sceleria. How the heck am I supposed to get 2 more commander points to by my highest level priests if my fortress can't be upgraded anymore?

[ThtblovesDF]

It just takes 2 turns, like slow recuit. So if you have 2 command points/turn and it costs 4, it takes 2 turns.

If you cant build a citadel, you cant get 3 commander points. You can queue up the priest and it will be like dominions 4 slow to recruit.

Also, that tree looks like it could be decent defense of a territory, would end up messing with any would be raiders. The cost might be a problem though.

playing an EA Error game to try things out--going pretty well for me... just about to have the first major battle of the game. We'll see how javelin spam backed up by medium infantry works out for me.

[nenjin]

Ah ok. They took away the slow recruit icon so I wasn't sure if slow recruiting was still a thing or not.

Yep, it got upgraded... in Dominions 4. :p Don't you remember the composition of loonies I was summoning in your territory in 4.26?

The hamadryad isn't good in a "do your own thing" sort of way, but it's a tough, high-MR nature mage which could quite nicely bolster a defensive garrison. If there wasn't also the cheapo fort spell, I'd say it would be good to drop on unforted forested thrones... but the fort spell pretty much preempts (preents?) that usage.

AI Tir'na Ogh got screwed hard. It can't leave its capital at all and only has a lvl 3 throne to move to until the river freezes....

What that picture near their castle is?
please don't tell me it's a photo

[USEC_OFFICER]

Yeah, I've had a few random maps like that, where my capital is stunted into a corner and there's not much room to do anything.

And that picture represents the temple in that province. _{And it looks like a photo to me.}

[Radsoc]

Hefty price, but grabbed it to support the devs. It's my second most played game afterall.

All I need now is to redesign my old pretender (old habits die hard) and a Dom 5 crash course for Dom 4 players. I like the switch to sim-turn battles, but formations seem to burst into swarms too easily at the moment.

The Stampede is real...

Normal nations: I try a bless, it fails (early or late game)

Pan Bless: It works, no matter what i put on these guys.
