And yeah, Dominions is not exactly my strong suit.  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but it's obviously something bad enough to count.  Two thousand iron constructs, wooden constructs, slingers, priests, minotaurs, and spearmen showing up at the door of my second castle said so.

Ermor seems to be the only thing I can win with.  Except maybe for Atlantis in a water-dominated map, but even then I have to work fast in order to overpower the enemy before they get too powerful.  Ermor, on the other hand, plays almost every turn into my favor, as regardless of what I do I get hundreds of free soldiers to die for my cause.  Still, I can't go on for two long, as without a bit of pressure the AI seems to amass a rather nasty set of spells...</STRONG>

The AI masses the easiest to make infantry, along with 1 or 2 elites, and about 5-6 commanders to hold all those troops, and other than that, it's all mages/anything with research. They go for enchantment and thaumatology or however you spell that. Then they cast world enchantments, and then I cast Oedipus' Fate every round to blind the guys that keep casting Eyes of the God.

Anyone other than me notice how time flies whenever you're playing?

Im thinking of playing against 5 Impossible AIs on a Large Random map. Maybe Ulm, the Fire Inquisition people, Lizards, and a couple others.


I think even that would be hard to go against.

Ermor is pretty much the easiest race in the game. I won in only about three hours on a huge map. Just start with a 10 Domain god, and spam temples, and you pretty much win.

Im going to mod in Nadraks and Angaraks into Dom3, it's easy enough to do, just a paint file for the units and some stats. Maybe some Alorns.

The Middle ages is the one I play in alot, because it's got alot of variety.

IM playing as Anysia lately, it's good fun to have a Demon prince with some magma warriors wipe out an entire county, and then summoning those dead ones into the now exponentially growing Demon's army. Barbarians make good soulless.

Also, my strategy(s) in Dom 3, is get a Great Sage or Some other Mage/Wizard except the hag. I usually try to get them all paths of magic at atleast 2, sacrificing Order for turmoil, making more random event, but this is good with a high luck. I get growth 2 after changing the Heat/cold slider to either 3 or 2 , and put magic to drain 1 for extra points to put into Magic.


I usually end up with 3 Turmoil/3 Luck, 3 Growth/2 Heat/Cold, and 1 Drain. With 2-3 in every magic skill. I send him out with the first commander and troops to take over as many provinces as possible, while producing troops from the capitol, along with mages to research. I research Conjuration and Construction until they're both at level 3, then spread out the points to all others. I spread my Land, and send the God to search each and every province for magic sites (the 2-3 in every magic is really, really helpful for this). I produce a bunch of high grade weapons and armor for my god and prophet (usually the most powerful commander I could get), and send the Prophet to the Arena fights where he most always dominates, unless the other player gets about 7 moves before my guy does.


Skip to about 7 years, Attack the other gods with a huge army led by your prophet (should have about 180 leadership if he started with 80+ leadership) filled with heavily armored ground units, and back with about 1/3 archers and the god if you really think you want to risk some stray arrow mangling his brain or something.


I almost always win unless I get a terrible start.

I've got Dominions 3, I want 1, but I cant find anywhere to buy it at.

Also, does anyone other than me love it when your warrior god gets an affliction in the first battle you put him in?

I play Ulm. It's fun to make a super-god in about 2 years who can wipe pretty much everything off the map.

I'll gladly help with graphics and the like, but I'm terrible at programming.

What would the object that need graphics be, are we using ASCII or graphics, or a Mix?
