[Dom3] Draft: Etimhara Victorious

DrPraetor · Post by **DrPraetor** » Wed May 02, 2012 11:53 am

Ugh. So I can have a Gorgon, huh?

The Gorgon is... effectively the same price as the lawgiver, and E4N4 is of course a significantly more useful bless than A4N4. OTOH, that 4th point of air is a much bigger breakpoint than that 4th point of earth.

Screw it, I'll take the Gorgon. At least this way I don't have to worry that anyone else will have her.

That's:
Gorgon (138)

Believe me, I was tempted.

But I've decided to go with unsexy but efficient things.

Okay, that calls for a cry of anguish. One pick before mine? And only taken as a hate draft? Aaaargh!

Great Mother 606

Lady of Springs, the pinkish girl-titan in a gray dress and not the one in the blue dress who is nearly identical in powers and has a name that is close.

For people who are considering Oracles and Blood Fountains, she's absolutely amazing. You spend 110 points to upgrade your Oracle chassis to a mobile, amphibious, and immortal character with full slots.

I'm quite surprised she didn't get taken before the Fountain of Blood.

Anyway: spell drafting time.

Now it gets difficult...

Lich Queen is nice, but she doesn't have cheap Blood

BTW, Winnah, could you send me the mod with a working Sachs? (minus National spells)

I just want to test out the army composition combo against indies,

I updated my post on page 3. It's in spoilers near the bottom of the page.

Will work fine, at the least my testing has revealed no major issues. I'm in a hurry, so I did not include many notations and there are a few redundancies (ie. the fountain and oracle do not need to be copied).

Just copy the text into a .dm file (or save it in a file with the .dm extension). Put the file in your Dominions 3 mods folder and enable the MA:Draft Nations mod in your preferences when you load the game.

I'll tidy it up a bit when I do some further testing, this afternoon. Let me know if you detect any bugs or other issues.

Is it possible to have too many mods? I'm not seeing the mod show up after I did the above things.

I put the text into a text editor and saved it as a DM file, but it's not showing up as a DM file under the file part on the list.

Edit: ok, fixed it. Vista was not letting me rename files properly. Stupid Windows.

Winnah · Post by **Winnah** » Thu May 03, 2012 1:53 am

It could be saved as a text file (eg. Draftnations.dm.txt)...I get that issue with notepad.

edit: no problem. I missed your update. This link will only active until I upload a new version.

I have to say, seeing my units in the recruit screen makes me happy.

They are still a really cheap Astral/Nature Mage for the gems.

NOT WHEN YOU CAN GET THEM FOR GOLD. I mean yeah sort of, but you can get them for gold.

The City State of Carthacia takes Call the Amesha Spenta.

Hate draft.

edit: The Couatl called by the spell are slightly different. They don't have gold upkeep, for example, where the recruitables do. I'm not sure about the other differences.

I suspect, he really did'nt know what he would get with the spell.

Isn't it just Astral 5 to cast? I'm pretty sure you can fit that in your Pretender.
