Sounds like a weekend project might be in order. I must have this.
The Navy and Marine Corps version is following after early access.
That's a good question. I don't think they have publicly stated whether the naval variant will be paid extra or part of the same release. They will most likely release two additional blocks of the -E before they release the naval version, anyway. It sounds like its a lot of work and quite a ways down the road.

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.
