That already seems to have been factored in etherealness negating damage. Once they're convinced they got hurt, they might just as well get a permanent wound.

Did I mention that I'm playing single player MA Ermor as the Titan of Forethought? 

[Criptfeind]

What bless are you using on that bad boy? There's certainly an allure to a titan as ermor for SC duties but they seem hella expensive to me, especially the non death ones since ermor sorta needs that death 3 to get that dusk elder. And since you can get a rainbow titan on the cheap by taking the freak lord and twiceborning it I'm not sure when an actual titan titan would be worth it.

[E. Albright]

That bit with Freak Lords seems like an oversight that makes the Twiceborn shenanigans LA Phlegra can use to make Laestrygonians more palatable positively pedestrian. I'm assuming it's based on not thinking about the second form and the fact that they're cavalry - lobster-rider pretenders turn into size-4 shambler mage wights, so it'd fit. For that matter, I seem to recall mundane elephant-riders turning into size 6 titans when I tested them, so it was probably just a mass script set by the devs that didn't take cavalry/mounts into account.

(The biggest downside of this would be the max dominion cost - a large part of the appeal of titans is their relatively high starting dominion, which Ermor definitely needs. Still, if you want a rainbow titan...)

[EuchreJack]

So, nobody got the joke where the Titan of Forethought is somehow in charge of MA Ermor, the anti-thesis to forethought? 

[Criptfeind]

MA Ermor is just EA C'tis long play to control the world from the shadows, eventually culminating in LA Ulms Illuminated ones who are clearly just a catspaw for the secret C'tis new world order. Now that's forethought.

Is there a titan of five-dimensional chess?

I didn't know they made a titan based upon you...

Huh, how do you have darkvision? Is that a throne? Also, the astral bless points don't seem to add up, 6 astral with 3 spent on mr and 1 on magic leadership.

[EuchreJack]

Correct on the throne and dark vision, I don't think it's part of the original bless.

MR +2 maybe solves the mystery? Or I just didn't bother to maximize.

No death? Now that's forethought!

[Frumple]

I used to like doing no death ermor pretenders in the earlier dominions. Wouldn't even for a second suggest it's even a little multiplayer viable, though, or even particularly singleplayer, either. The start for it is just way, way too slow, heh. Even having it on a strong chassis for early push and/or research is just viciously slow going. No clue if D5 makes it any easier or not, but I'd be surprised if it did.

[E. Albright]

As someone who likes to do high-death-but-imprisoned SP Ermor pretenders, I can assure you it's no easier in Dom5 than it was in earlier iterations.
