I'd willingly pay Marignon to build some temples on the lake shores.
Just saying.


In other news, I guess we'll finally learn if members of the Elemental Royalty can be resummoned after dying.

[EuchreJack]

You know, I'm also on the lakeshore.  Just saying.

I'd just like to make clear that I do not intend to act in either way towards Ry'leh until somebody pays me.  So, no need to attack me or my temples.  No pre-emptive strikes needed, please?  I can be bought for less then the cost for such strikes, really.

What exactly defends against Mind Hunt, anyway?

One of my elemental queens had something ridiculous for magic resistance, like 27, but still died to the first mind hunt you did on it.  I thought that would help, but obviously not.  XD

[Il Palazzo]

Are you serious? Because when I saw her attacking Terentius, she had 12 MR, and I did not see any labs in that province, which would allow you to swap her equipment.

The best protection against MH is having some Astral mages with you, as each Astral pick gives a 40% chance of feebleminding the attacker.

When I saw her land there, with such a low MR(your Queens usually had 18+), AND without any astral mages to accompany her, I took all the astral mages capable of casting Mind Hunt that I had, gave them all the penetration boosters I could find, and hoped for the best.
Hell, I'd do it all the same, even if you had your usual single Seraph with and Astral pick with her, as it would still give me a reasonable chance of success.
I'd probably give up on even trying, if you had two, and almost certainly if three(or just one stronger than 1S).

[Lorak]

Yeah not the air one, the water queen one you killed the turn before.  I was pretty sure she had 27 magic resist.  I just loaded up an old save to look, she actually "only" had 25 magic resist.  Still a lot, though, I was disapoint.

[Il Palazzo]

I killed a Water Queen? What? Where? I should be celebrating!

But I think it might've been somebody else causing you grief. I don't remember targeting her specifically. And to push through 25MR that'd have to be a really powerful mage.

Damn, I'll have to load a save and check. What was her name again?

ed:Nope, I haven't got it anymore. Seriously, blame some other nation with an astral pretender(cough, Pythium, C'tis, cough)

[Lorak]

XD What!!  That wasn't even you?  I was trying to run her through your territory to dive in the lake and rampage whatever temples you have in there.  XD

Dammit!

[EuchreJack]

And we went from playing Dom3 to Paranoia...

[Il Palazzo]

Dude, if you're not being paranoid when playing Dom3, then you're doing it wrong.
Don't you know? They're all out to get me! It even says so in the manual.

[Lorak]

Interesting.

Elemental Royalty are re-summonable.

Not only that, but they retain all their xp and afflictions they had, AND she's still a prophet.  <_<  Kinda weird.   I wonder if I'll be able to appoint a second prophet in a few turns.   XD

[Il Palazzo]

Duh. And here I was so happy that I was beginning to solve this royal pain in the neck.
Horrible pun, I know.

[EuchreJack]

Not me.  You can trust me.  I only want to be your friend.

Anybody knows if one can have more items in the treasury than there is spaces displayed?(i.e. is the treasury space expandable and scrollable or not).
This is an honest question, and not just me bragging about my latest global.

Hah. It is, I think, actually not. Can't hold more than the spaces shown, so give out items to commanders or throw stuff away.

Note, kind of anecdotal; I only know of this because if you look at other multi games on the shrapnel forum they will often list as a rule: "No filling opponent's lab [with junk items so their forging goes wasted]" Never tested but always kind of took it as granted.

By the by, those of us who are not IlPalazzo: We should really be thinking about what to do about all those globals. The Forge is kind of game over and many more turns with the Oak up and we'll be hard pressed to chop it down or deal with the Gift of Health.

[Il Palazzo]

Stop agitating against me, slMagnavox. The whole "Forge is a gameover" notion is but a mytho, conveniently upheld by pretenders who are just looking for an excuse to grief honest people.
