Man I can't believe it's already been seven years, I want to see your Dominions 6 versions of these now! @@Yakri

In a war against abysia they had a big misfortune scale, an Abomination randomly came and conquered the poor guys entire capital, and because abysia is melee mostly all his unit were just slaughtered by the life drain and the death gaze killed 60 to 100 units, and yes it can use that every round as well as gain more health, my scout watched it and then went mad and attacked it next turn after the siege break failed...he was already insane. But I had a good laugh as my bud freaked out.

Pack of Wolves is imo the best spell at conj2 because it gets you upkeep-free patrol. Extremely important for blood nations.

I asked for a battlemage guide, but this is probably even better!

Worth noting is that wraith lords respawn immediately after being killed, and can solo any amount of PD if you also have Alteration 6 due to being able to cast Invulnerability and Soul Vortex with their death 3. basically you can use a couple of them to give someone cancer

The thing to remember when evaluating summoning troops/commanders/mages and comparing the gold value, you have to remember that most of the summons dont require any upkeep. Since a normal unit have to pay their own cost in upkeep every 15 months, and we assume that is the payback time (it is also roughly the time that a sacret costs the same as a non-sacret unit), then you can effectively halve their cost compared to other units. If you say pay 22 gems -> 550 gold for spectre, but we then halve it when comparing to the up front cost, which then becomes 225 gold. This is still a bit expensive for a mage with 3 paths, (they would usually be around 90-150 gold), but considering that mages stick around longer it is still slightly better, and if you consider that the chassie is much stronger than standard, well then it really helps (there is fear, stealth, cold aura, 25 frost+poison resistance, etheral - with full equiptment availability, 25 hp, and a base of 16! defense, oh and life drain base attack, so they can thugh without fatigue problems). Overall a decent thug chassie, and 225 gold wouldnt exactly be expensive for that.

Ah, nice. Now I can actually hear you without putting my speakers up to 100% :)

I absolutely LOVE what you’ve done here especially since the Wikipedia is vastly underwhelming

Shade Beasts do tend to work well for Patrol squads, a cast or two will give you enough units to keep a Blood hunt under control I've found

Oh thank God, I can hear you, now!

Pack of wolves is amazing for blood nations though

It is extremely important for a lot of blood nations for low upkeep patrolling.

Another thing about Fire Spirits, as a F3 mage they can summon more of themselves if you find yourself strapped for F mages.

Sweet I don't have to turn up my volume now!

Good video, thx, keep going plz!

Acashic knowledge doesn't search sites anymore, it reveals enemy score graphs if you hit their capital with it. I know, I too was sad.

Are you sure you aren't mixing Acashic Record and Acashic knowledge? Or possibly I did in the video I'm not 100% sure haha. Acashic record reveals enemy info, Acashic Knowledge reveals sites.

Oh, haha. I didn't even know there were two different spells because I never cast that one. I'll have to look again for knowledge.

I actually quite like the Sleeper. Sure, he can only really lead troops, but as a +3 morale, 120 units leader, he's *really* good at leading troops and if you are a nation without really good leaders, he's pretty worth it. He also comes with a ranged weapon so he won't suicide himself into melee

I don't really agree, not because he's useless, but because he's heavily overpriced for that benefit.

I've managed to use the sleeper for light thugging and a bit of magical leadership for nations without any good magical leadership.

An sleeper with a helmet of heroes (inspiration +2) and a horn (inspiration +1) will solve any low morale issues you might have. So is a really good commander if you need the extra morale. E.g. have access to elephants and mages to buff those elephants with nice stuff, great!!!!!!! until you take them into battle and they destroy all your lines because of that nasty fear aura unit in the front ='( , but put them under a sleeper and suddenly they get +6 morale and they rekt everything in their way until they all die.

Where do you look up more details about the spells?

On the dom inspector, which is linked in the video description. It's also where you can look up units and items.

Isn't the black servant a scout? Maybe useful for undead nations.

@Yakri

Yes, and I think I did try it out once. However 99% of the time indie scouts are a better choice, often even for undead nations.

It can be useful to give it a bane venom charm and send it out to disease your enemies. Normal scouts will die after 10 turns, but an undead scout works indefinitely.

Indeed, and note that the black servant is one of the few uw scouts that most nations have access to. And uw provinces have it harder to patrol high stealth units (no flying units, no wolves to save your butt) so putting a bane venom and three stealth items on a black servant can be very annoying for any uw nation (unless they are rlyeh, because of mind hunt =P ).

Which items do increase the number of summoned units?

I would kill for a list where i can see how to branch out into different magic schools such as nature into death or any other. I will start writing things down on paper xD Finding all items and remembering them is a pain too. Other than that id really love a list of spells which discover magic sites.

there are also specific gods that summon more of a kidn for example the drake spells get massively way better if you have a Dragon master pretender that summons double the amount (so 2 instead of 1 for 7 Stones)

There are a lot of different items that increase the number of summoned units, including some national ones. I'm not sure if there's a list anywhere but you can always search for them in the dom inspector larzm42.github.io/dom5inspector/ The item that discovers sites is called the Atlas of Creation, which is a Const 8 artifact. You can also use the dom inspector to sort all the spells in the game by magical school and such.

There is a Dominions 4 guide for bootstrapping your magic and what you need, it should be somewhere in steam and should apply fairly straight forward to dom5. E.g. it explains that a 2W can go: ring to 3W, then robe to 4W then sea king to (3+2)W then queen of water to (5+2)W. In other words, with just a 2W mage you can get up to 7W combat mage, if you are lucky =P Or how sometimes expensive summons are worth it because they break you into new paths and to some key items etc etc.
