Dominions III LFG and Strategy Discussion / Re: [Dominions 6] 2 Grogs 2 Fu...
Last post by TheMeInTeam - Today at 05:54:37 PMI did have an army myself, it was further down/off screen. Mostly some foot sacreds, with some leftover ichtyids and some undead. Heavily outnumbered, but could cover the front. I lost the mages I did due to mass flight, should have expected that and cast storm, but didn't.
As al notes, foul vapors was the primary killing tool, but I had a lot of other things going on too:
- FR of 5 in bless plus mass spell got me to 10, completely nullifying firestorm cast by other side.
- I put up all of the following buffs: antimagic, army stoneskin, army regeneration, relief, army mistform, army poison resistance.
- I also cast rigor mortis, and Mari forgot to cast antimagic, giving me a big advantage in fatigue (rigor is now hard-to-negate MR check).
Mari had mistform on everything too (cast by air queen), so the front lines were a slap fight. However, it was rare enough damage would get through mist form and > 20 prot on my end to overcome regeneration. Similarly, I could not very effectively kill Mari sacreds w/o magic weapons using front line.
Thus I took very little damage from the foul vapors procs, and regen helped cover what got through the poison. Mari had no poison resistance at all (bit of a misplay, it was possible using those mages of spring and matrix item, similar to how I used D1 revenant to cast the big death spells). Vast majority of the deaths were to poison as a result.
Also used poison (and howl wolves) in the teleport attack on the unforted throne underground:
Since that throne turned out to have the points needed to win the game, Mari had to retake province in magic phase that turn from the 3 cap-only monkey mages, or else stopping the win was impossible (I cast a remote fort spell, built a lab, and ordered god to teleport there on ensuing turn).
Unfortunately, the game doesn't keep old saves I don't think, so I'd only have the turn of victory.

Last post by al_infierno - Today at 02:05:46 PM^ TMIT can probably provide more details, but the big foil for Mari was Foul Vapors. Both armies were stacked with fire resist, so the fire evos flying back and forth didn't have too huge an impact, but Bandar Log had solid poison resist and cast Foul Vapors along with Rigor Mortis and a ton of other stuff. Mari's armies had no poison resist, which did in a lot of their Knights of the Chalice after some turns of slapfighting.
Oh, and I forgot to cast Antimagic, so all of Mari's army had a slightly lower than desirable Magic Resist.
