I think i found an error in it - headdress of the bull shouldn't give + to lictor summoning, corpse costructing and aging.

Dom5 data inspector is up! Only has units and items so far, and there may be bugs.

Looks like weapons and armor are up too, if you tick the "advanced" box.

Anyone tried the new Rime Hammer? The inspector says it's secondary effect is 999 chill/cold damage mist in AOE 3. Isn't that 100% suicidal on use, regardless of cold resistance?

Should be. Do weapon attacks include their own progenitors? I can't think of the last time I've seen AoE greater than one which wasn't from a spell. Or wait, I can – dragon fire. But that has a pretty specific trajectory that doesn't normally include friendlies, particularly since dragons are usually sent to the back row.

But yeah, there's no way you can get resistance even close to high enough to block that, so you'd have to hope that the random placement of the three AoE squares doesn't include you.

The stone sword works like that. But it's doing a MR-negates petrification attack, so with 20+ you're mostly safe. This one looks like it's going to kill the user with 25% probability on each strike.

One suspects the Mod Inspector is wrong, as Freezing Mist is listed as 1(cold/magic) AN nostrength AoE3 lingering 2 in-game.

[Edit: yep.]

It would be an interesting mechanic were that not the case, though.

So if you add barkskin and heat aura to a sacred unit, it will murder itself (since the barkskin removes the fire resistance and it will fatigue out) - if you really want to tell the enemy you don't care...

Does Dom5 bring back Late Age Ermor, or does it keep the ghost nation that replaced it in Dom4?

[USEC_OFFICER]

No, but Late Age Ermor from Dom 3 became Middle Age Ermor in Dom 4, to make the timelines, backgrounds and histories sync up better. So you can still play them in the Middle Age, while Lemura can ghost about in the Late Age.

Or are you referring to something completely different?

[Sirus]

No, that was basically it. I tried to fire up a LA Ermor game in Dom4 the other day and the closest thing was the Lemura nation, which actually played rather different. Wasn't too fond of the changes.

I didn't realize the change was for lore reasons. I have very little idea what the Dominions lore actually is

[Cruxador]

I did a thing:

It's a complete AAR of a multiplayer game.

It wasn't supposed to be complete this quickly but...

The old LA Ermor still exists though, it just got its age swapped. Ashen Empire is MA now, is all.

[chaoticag]

That is an incredible bless on those oni. So uh, yeah, you didn't stand a chance.

I can see that I need to relearn the meta.

[Zonk]

Lemuria still exists, and received significant changes:

You even have a sacred freespawn troop, but it's really rare.
