That is one scary bless on Therodos troops. Etgfrog went all in on that one.
It gets worse once you actually know the sacred chassis. More specifically, it gets ethereal and goes berserk when blessed. Now there are 4 nations that I can at least confirm that would prefer to face the sacred specters then face the living ones. I could have tanked the magic scales for even more bless because my research is already going to be a snails pace compared to all other nations. I'll be lucky to finish level 2 construction before the 1st year is done.

Huh. Something neat to note, if you discover sites in a province, you retain knowledge of the existence of those sites, even after you stop owning/scrying/spying it.

Just something I just found out. Maybe it was in one of the 'list of new stuff' that was made when Dom5 was still in beta, but eh. Just felt like sharing.

I think it always was like that, and discovered magic site become common knowledge?

Berekän, that was a veritable masterclass on the adage "slow and steady wins the race"...

Good news for Yomi?

You know I just so happened to have a scout in that province, so the glamour doesn't hide you: Nice pretender you have there.

Also: at a risk of being the guy who enrages everyone with their luck, I have to ask a question: Did scouts become more common in EA? Because I have 2 scout provinces already.

Dunno, but with the new commander point rules, I think finding extra provinces with scouts will be less of a big deal. (Says the beginner.)

I cannot know, since EA Yomi can recruit scouts in every province.

So I can confirm that the priests are working again, so I should be back on track for playing the game.

Until I die from the poor early game, but hey, Losing is Fun! as long as you had a chance.

Yeah, my early game was definitely the worst I've had since I played Dom3, even including the early throne, so we can be buddies. Mine was my fault though.

Edit: That said, my prophet and a number of my first mages don't have the same names they did before, so I'm going to blame bugs too. :P

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

Would I fall into that category if we shared a border or no? But yeah.. Giants man. Still, Earth Magic is pretty great at tampering with small squads of sacred giants early on, in my Dom4 experience. Maybe the new battle system would screw it up, maybe not.

Jilladilla playing Agartha is definitely a monstrosity to be feared, yes.
