How to keep your wimpy human mage alive?

So I am always deterred from putting globals up with normal human mages as I'm not sure on how I would keep him alive.

If I have cold scales isn't he getting diseases like immediately and die?

Twice born could prevent that but not every nation has the option and it would mean you need to fork out another 100d gems in addition to the global.

Am I missing something?

Battle camera controls on laptop touch pad?

Hi all!

Im new to dom6 (33hrs) but i absolutely love it so far, this game is definitely a contender for my new "forever-game". the only issue ive been having is i cant figure out how to move the battle camera without a physical mouse. i primarily play games after work while laying next to my girlfriend in bed as she sleeps better when im in the bed with her, but that means i dont have access to my mouse.

Here the promised meme

I understand that normal Skellis are still one hit but even the Knight of the Unholy Sepulchre? They have like 6 HP. That's not even enough to survive a halve damage Wither bones (18+ DMG).

Joining the Anti Water Slander.

As a PSA for new players, some water nations would give their gods left nut for a beachhead, as some Water nations capacity to fight outside the ocean is terrible.

So if you see a coastline of independants near a sea with a Water nations, take It.

Note: Yis is the one Water nation where this doesnt apply, their sacred knights are stronger outside water.

Ancient Temple site as Ermor

Hey guys, funny memes apart, I could really use your help.

So I am playing as MA Ermor and got the ancient temple magic site. I sent a dusk elder there as the event text told you and got the message "Dusk elder can understand some runes but others need more time and the process is dangerous".

Ok and now what? Should I leave him in the province? Does he need to patrol or just casually wait there? And how long do I have to wait for the event to progress? Like I have a lot of better uses for this guy than just standing around.

Any help is greatly appreciated and I will post another meme once this is resolved.

Battle mages and other new player questions

So I’m in my first real game as EA Pangea and was doing well, won my first war with the centaur cavalry which would just obliterate enemy backlines when set to attack rear.

Then once the enemies had large enough armies I started sending in a suicide army ahead of the cavalry which has swamp drakes and vine ogres and was commanded by a worm mage with a shield that entangled everyone and the snake pouch weapon + poison resistance so basically just would not die for a long time and kill all the enemy frontline.

Now enemies are stronger and have resist and whatnot so I went to making a better army with higher tech units but I have run into trouble.

My pans seem to do nothing but cast enlargement and personal barkskin on nothing all combat, I give them gems, and items to reduce fatigue cost but they just refuse to cast the higher level spells PARTICULARLY any spells with a range. I can’t seem to script them because unless they spawn in range they just ignore the script entirely. I have them on advance and cast spells but they just seem to cast useless spells and retreat. Sometimes I see them use a blood slave to remove fatigue and then seemingly do nothing.

Also I don’t understand why they “prepare spell” and then cast something completely different sometimes.

My glamour gem gate got instantly dispelled and the mage that cast it got killed by evil spirits (how?) but no notification for the dispel it was just gone?

Also is there a way to automate having commanders go to multiple tiles and pick up troops?

Any other tips also appreciated, cheers

An open multiplayer game

Hi everyone, i created the open_LA game for everyone to join, it’s set in late age and it’s all skills welcome.

I created the game after playing a similar open game for MA on these forums and i really enjoyed the format of communicating though multiple platforms, including ingame messages.

For the game preset i'm thinking 15 provinces per player, 3 small lakes, one cave, wraparound, unbinding diplo, 24hrs for the first 12 turns and 48 hrs afterward, no extension.

One level 2 throne per player, 1/2 or 3/4 of the thones to win?

Please let me know if you have experience in hosting games if it’s realistic.
