If you set the city governor to maximize all three of food/production/commerce, it won't assign specialists.

Good tip!

Ah, that's clever.

 

[Grey Fox]

Except if there are no tiles left for the new pop to be distributed to.

Neat! Thanks for the tip! Perhaps I can enjoy playing Cassiel after all!

 

[BCalchet]

It will sometimes assign a specialist over a field tile, IIRC, but only, say, an engineer (2 hammers) over a riverside desert (1 commerce). I don't know if it'd choose the engineer over a plain plain (1 food, 1 hammer), though.

Question: how would you counter Eurabatres in late-game with Grigori?

Plenty of dragonslayers (some of them heroes?) or better units perhaps?

 

[Bringa]

So essentially massing? Dragonslayers don't get any bonus against dragons, do they? (the obvious courage aside)

 

[Ringtailed]

as their name implies, they get the Dragon Slayer promotion >.<

(+40% against dragons)

 

[Bringa]

How could I miss that? I thought I'd checked. o.O

 

[Caradoc]

First time with Grigori, I can't figure out how to make my Adventurer into a Warrior. The action is there but 'grayed out'. I notice it appears only in a city. But what else do I need to do? He's got 50EP and I need him on the front.

 

[kenken244]

do you have enough gold?

 

[Caradoc]

Suppose a Grigori Mage was to gain control of a Priest using Domination. Could that Priest then build a Temple in a Grigori city?

 

[MrUnderhill]

That's a really interesting idea. I wonder if you could upgrade them to Luonnotar and keep or improve their divine promotions, as well? Twincasting Flesh-Golem Summoner/Sorcerers... *shudder*

It works. The Temple was not particularly useful since the Grigori could still not build any of the Divine units. However, the Luonnotar upgrade did work and allowed the unit to gain levels in Body, Mind, and Chaos. (There were several Mana types I did not have, so there might be others.)

Use your first hero to destroy the first civ you come across. I took my continent by destroying the Illians with a str 5 warrior.

 

[evlutte]

Archmages! 18 meteors per turn hooray (36 if you're awesome enough to get death)

 

[xienwolf]

I found that Charismatic was my flavor of choice trait. Cheaper exp requirements for level = more upgrades by 100 exp on the heroes.

Most all o fmy heroes went adept, but I am still getting used to magic, so that is probably mainly due to playing with things. First was a warrior, and wiped out the poor neighbor kids in the first 50 turns or so.

 

[Copper Golem]

They are one of many candidates for that title. So I guess not, but certainly powerful. I find them really fun to play.

They are not overpowered. Religion limitation is really strong handycap.
Especially in later game, when cites grows, temples are very handful to cloud minds of your people (the think which Cassiel fight with).
