Dominions 3
January 7th, 2009 by CrusaderIllwinter Game Design released a patch for the turn-based strategy game Dominions 3: The Awakening since last we mentioned it; changes include:
- New spirits to summon for Jomon: Ujigami, Mori-no-kami, Kenzoku, Jigami, Gozy Mezu.
- R’lyeh dreamlands suffered from the same problem as Ermor once did. Dom-kill rate now multiplied by 5.
- Battle enchantments did not expire when leaving the battlefield by unusual means (e.g. being immortal
- and getting killed), fixed.
- Shape changing could result in incorrect magic item loss, fixed.
- Wishing for a non unique item could remove too many items from the world, fixed.
- Game could crash due to too many large units on the battlefield, fixed.
- Crash during turn generation fixed.
- Improved cheat detection.
- Many random events have some fixes.
- Some rituals can now only be cast in certain terrains: Hidden in sand – waste, Mountain Vila – mountain,
- Cloud vila – mountain, Leshiy – forest, Nushi – swamp, Shedim – waste, Seirim – waste.
- Hinnom PD reduced
- Hinnom start army reduced
- Hinnom Popkillers gives some unrest.
- Ba’al eat Melquart event reversed.
- Onmyo-ji has got a fortune teller ability and battle summons.
