Actually I gotta agree, it makes sense.

It's still cheese though.

Also:  Hopflash, I hope you got my message, no hard feelings.

[Hellheart]

Your efforts to kill Gimpy were Sad, Pitiful, and Futile. It also Angered the Army and Hastened Your Demise.

(( Should I still call this guy Gimpy? He's obviously only alive because the other Skinshifters rally to his aid since he's their mascot, but I don't know how much longer he can inspire from the frontlines.

If I ever get around to researching Thaumaturgy 4, I'm going to panhandle for enough Gems to GoR this guy. I have never even imagined that a troop could get this many afflictions without getting Diseased. ))

[Elfeater]

What does GoR mean?

[Hellheart]

Gift of Reason. It's a Nature spell that turns a troop into a Commander. In Dominions 3 a lot of summons had magic paths when hit with Gift of Reason, but most of those seem to have been removed. Now it's mostly used for Tartarian Titans (Conjuration 9) or for commanders obtained via Wish (Alteration 9) because they arrive as troops for whatever reason.

[Elfeater]

So other than for fun does it have many uses before late game?

[E. Albright]

There's not a lot of units which are economical to spend that many gems on.

[Elfeater]

Hmmmm he should probably make him the prophet too then.

[Hellheart]

*laughs* Ah, that would only make too much sense. He'd have I think only H1 because of his afflictions but by God he can still preach - I don't know HOW, but the option will be there! - and claim Thrones.

[Elfeater]

Could he claim with only H1? I thought it was H3 and gods only. Or does being a prophet give H3 and the ability even to cap thrones without it.

[Hellheart]

Hmmm. I actually don't know if a prophet can cap thrones if he loses H3. That's a good question. Your god can cap thrones even if he loses practically everything because of a bad Transformation, so if the "prophet" tag lets something cap thrones then it'll work. If it just checks for H3+, then no.

[Delta Foxtrot]

I'm pretty sure you can't cap thrones with non-H3 prophets. I can't test now but I've read threads to that effect.

[Puzzlemaker]

Wait, Gimpy doesn't have a head?  How the hell does that work?

[Delta Foxtrot]

He's a skinshifter. Units with shapechange ability tend to survive wounds that would kill others (you can see the same with jaguar warriors for example). I'm not entirely sure if it's WAD or not, but it's been known for a long time.

[HopFlash]

Also:  Hopflash, I hope you got my message, no hard feelings.

ah...all is fine...I still feel the same way to you as before...your compensation came at the right time.

But in this part of the world it looks like there is much going on I wonder were I will fit in

[Hellheart]

(( Boo Pangaea! You sussed out my clever plan, which was obviously not clever enough. And probably obvious because screw Lord of the Hunt. ))
