>Any way I can regain control of this?

It's only got 21 MR. Some mages with penetration gear casting Contol the Dead or Enslave Mind should do the trick.

Alternatively, if you just want to kill it off, spam Soul Slay or Disintegrate.

Hmm, sent a trio of mound fiends to try to Control the Dead it, they decided to spam raise dead before running away, did cast Control the Dead three times however, but all three failed sadly. Not enough penetration?

I had them all set to retreat after casting 5 times but forgot one of them had that cursed lycanthrop amulet. Interestingness ensued.

Heroic health, ethereal, regenerating, berserk +4 exp priest with a halberd (forgot that too.) dueled it for 65 rounds before dying.

Seems it managed to tank the acid rain and smites with life drain and regen+large health pool, and dodged all the melee attacks.

The eater now seems to have a base health of 2000, after killing another thousand Ulm units, but not before getting a few horror marks.

That should be really interesting if I ever manage to take control again.

Okay now it is at +5 exp.

I did not know that was possible.

2339 kills.

says basic health is 1000, then -800 dominion penalty, which somehow leads to a current hit points of 1616.

Regenerates 324 hp per turn.

>>28367267

Not at all to be precise. I like the "idea" of Dominions 3 but I think the execution is lackluster. Sort of like Dwarf Fortress but you can at least use DwarfTherapist to deal with that.

>>28367343
Dwarf Fortress at least has the excuse of only being a third of the way done.

>>28367308
Yeah, blood slaves are auto deposited, permanent gem generators got cut out and replaced with battle only gem gens, tax sliders got thrown out and instead gave order scales and province defence automatically reduce unrest.
Some commanders for nations take two turns to recruit, not one so you can't spam a million arch mages anymore.

>>28368912
you see all those icons it has on the death eater under the stats?
those are all various magic effects. It is also buffed out the wazoo

>>28368845
Forgot that you can't tell what all those little trait icons are on the eater, so here they are:

regens 20% of his max health round of combat.
is immune to poison and cold.
radiates disease.
tramples smaller units.
slowly heals all afflictions. (battle wounds, like limps or missing eyes)
can move underwater with some penalty.
has all the benefits/penaltys of being undead. (but lacks mindless trait that most undead have, so can gain experience)
does not eat. (heh)
has fatigue drop by 3 every round of combat.
ignores 50% of attacks that would have otherwise hit.
spreads his owner's dominion. (think right now he just reduces other people's dominion, but cant spread any)
always has his owner's blessing. (without an owner it is just +2 morale, but if I owned him it would be +5 defense, +4 magic resist, quickness, twist fate, +400% affliction chance, death weapons, and 5% regeneration as well)

And as a side effect of being a prophet its stats go up/down depending on the strength of the dominion of the province he is in, which currently is just hurting them massively.

Annnnnd they also have a hidden trait that causes acid rain to hit everyone on the battlefield every turn except for them, which seems to do like 1 to 15 damageish. Might be limited to enemys only.

Sadly it seems it does not gain hall of fame bonuses, otherwise it would have another like 5-10 strength or some other stat.

His weapons:

crush attack(s) pierce armor.
Touch of leprosy inflicts disease.
life drain pierces armor, is magic, and drains life.
steal strength negates armor, but can be negated by magic resist, it is also considered magic and inflicts... additional weakness, whatever that is.

They also know level 3 holy magic, level 2 water, and 1 death. Will work on empowering that if I ever regain control.

whew.

>>28369313
What's your current prophet?

>>28369363

>>28369313
I'm not sure if indies ever get anything past 0th level spells, which is kinda a shame. It has been ages since I played though, and I rarely come across indie mages anyhow.
Still, it'd be cool for some province to have a powerful mage warlord or something.

I always had mixed feeling about playing Ermor, on one hand it was silly easy to win, on the other you conquered the land with your unending hordes of undead.

>>28369399
Yeah Ermor is really fun to play, but also really cheap.

That cheapness seems hollow every time the AI kills 400 undead with a group of 40 people though.

Here is a picture of their current stats with only a -400 health, -1 resist, and -2 strength dominion penalty.

Also my 24 dusk elders failed to control it, possibly due to that higher resist I did not plan for.

>>28369463
I always ended up spending all my turn (or every couple of turns, depending how big my empire is\how lazy I'm feeling) separating the Ermor undead from your run-of-the-mill zombie hordes. The latter were used as vanguards to soften enemies up, then the elites with mages (and actual tactics assigned) would come in to finish the job.

I enjoyed imagining the defender's relief at fighting off a gigantic horde of arisen peasantry from their lands and other long since conquered being replaced by terror as they see the ordered ranks of the second army marching towards them.

Really though, all the army management sucked hard. Is the UI moddable at all? Some simple empire management scripts like sending troops to rally points after recruitment would be nice (and easy to write).

Stop trying. Even if you succeed, it'll probably break free before long, so it's not worth the effort.

Personally, I'd prefer to kill it with horror marks, and have spies to watch it get eaten by Doom Horrors. But that's just me.

(inb4 it eats the Doom Horrors, too)

Okay, so I've been kind of following this whole ordeal, and even though I get a feeling of general panic and awe at this chain of events, I am sadly missing most of the minutiae.

Or to be clearer, I have no idea what the fuck is going on, and I only understand that it is glorious. Could someone attempt to expose the situation in a clear, straightforward manner? Please assume, as it is pretty much the truth, that you are adressing a complete ignoramus.

>>28371553
Right here's a rough over veiw; The previous Pantokrator is dead, or gone who's to say. Now out of the wood work Pretenders to their Throne have arrived and are vying for power supreme.

Eremor the realm of the dead have unleashed an ancient Horror known as the Eater of the Dead. Origionally its a useful tool but when it eats enough, it breaks free and seeks to devour all. Now the world suffers as it eats its way across the world and not even the pretender gods themselves can stop it. The only hope of ending its rampage is for the Eater of Heroes or the Eater of Gods to be drawn to its horror marks and snuff out its existence.

Less flowery? Big ass gribbly got spawned grew tooo big and is eating everything and now possibly only the two most powerful monsters in the game can beat it. Notedly one of the ones that munches on gods like they're popcorn. Looking at it's kills a normal top spot in the hall of fame for a lengthy game will maybe break a thousand. Yeah.

>>28371553
So Dominion 3 is a sorta 4x fantasy world game where you play as a Pretender (some super-powerful entity attempting to become the new god of the world after the old one dissapeared, ranging from old witch-women to fountains of blood) who controls one of the factions. OP is playing as Ermor, who is Undead Rome (in the Late Era, anyway. There's three different time periods you can play, the factions are different in each) and somewhere along the way he summoned the Eater of the Dead. He then made it his prophet (giving it extra powers) and had it conquer and eat too much, getting to powerful. It then broke free of his control and is now rampaging across his empire, consuming vast numbers of OP's undead armies and getting ever stronger.

Any questions in particular?

>>28371929
Alright. That's a lot clearer.

OP, you have all of my sympathy. Not that it will matter when the Great Devourer comes for us both.

Summoned an eldritch horror, pimped it out a bit and taught it magic before making it the leader of my god cult, then fed it too many corpses and it decided it didn't need me anymore.

Now it has devoured 12,000 people and many more corpses, snowballing into an unstoppable wrecking ball that travels around the globe butchering armies, raping churches, and burning women.

During this I chase behind it with dozens of mages in vain attempts to bring it back under my control because I want to make it even more powerful before the eldritch curse on it attracts a bigger fish to eat it.

Though I am not sure if there are any fish bigger than this one anymore.

Pretty much unleashed the destroyer of worlds because I wanted more power.

This picture is with almost max dominion penaltys also, IF ONLY I COULD BRING HIM BACK TO MY SIDE AND SEE THE STATS WITH MAX BONUSES AND EMPOWERMENT AND BLESSING AND TOP TIER EQUIPMENT.

I think it started that way, actually.

>>28364764
Nah, a second one would have an unit ID of a small Eater, so no luck.

>>28372119
>>28372144

It actually starts as a regular unit oddly enough, I had to cast Restore Soul on it to make it a commander.

I can't imagine the thing ever having a soul though, so I assume I just jammed the first thing that would fit inside it.

For what purpose?

>>28372207
It was when I summoned it, but it really seems like it shouldnt be, and I am pretty sure I once played on a custom map that had the eater start in the center as an independent army.

I am running like a dozen mods and probably outdated version though, so that could be it.

Which reminds me, anyone here buy dominions 3 on desura and then later be able to use that on steam?

I keep itching to see the new stuffs in 4 but would rather not pay 35 dollars twice for the same game.

>>28372284
>as an independent army
I meant "mindless" as in the trait, not "not a commander". Or do commanders never have it?

>>28372284
The devs said anyone who buys it on Desura will get a Steam key when/if they get it onto Steam.

>>28372279
Bracers give it regen and the unicorn pendant gives it 'luck' which means half of all attacks miss.

OP, can you give us a rundown on the world's situation? A picture of the map would be nice.

>>28372004
You should have given it The Ark. That way, it would not only spread it's own dominion, but it would rain hellfire and blinding light on every single enemy.

Planning on adding utterdark to the list of things wrong with this world just to fuck them over.

Yeah I had like 2 construction at the time and limited gems, all it takes to summon the thing is 20 astral 20 death so I pretty much did it as soon as it was available.

The Ark is on my list if I ever get it under control.

>>28372537
Where is it?

>>28372537
do you have a mage with fire and water? Have them make mage mashers, a one handed weapon with great spell penetration, and some astral mages making amulets and eyes of penetration. ten mages kitted out with one of each should easily bust its mr.

I have an idea, of how to beat that.
Black Bows of Botulf on dozen or so scouts should make it feeble minded, lowering MR and stripping down all magic levels. Then use your most powerful death mage, boosted by communion of suicide slaves, and loaded with magic penetration boosters for instant kill spell. Vision Foe crossbow would also help to lower its combat effectivness through eyeloss, if that thing even has eyes.

>>28372664
If you want to kill it just make a bunch of ethereal crossbows.

>>28372638
Bottom right, just wiped out the thousands defending that port and the areas next to it.

>>28372300
It seems restore soul does not remove mindless, my bad.

>>28372655
Since I'm Ermor its a bit difficult to get anything other than death mages, don't think I have any provinces with fire or water mages sadly.

If I want something crafted I have to do it myself, unless it is death

hmm... though I bet I could probably summon someone to craft shit for me instead.

>>28372683
Scratch that, just cast Mind Hunt on it. It has no astral so it'd be defenseless.

>>28372683
Those wont beat MR just as easily, feeble mindness would help greatly, and crafting throwaway black bows is easier for LA Ermor.

>>28372537
I have never actually had armies that large. Is there a limit to how many soldiers can be in one battle?

>>28372763
I have had battles with over 4000, but never watched the replays due to fear of the game crashing, and also because I don't want to spend 20 minutes watching a curbstomp

>>28372696
Empower some mages you faggot.

You have literally thousands of gems.

Look. As easy as it would be to put together some kind of little trick, some kind of little bypass to do away with the thing, I think we all know that something this powerful deserves a proper send off. If you've got some trick up your sleeve, save it for your capital. A last minute defense is the best defense.

>>28366176
Actually you could break the Seal in Dom3 CBM for a long time now.
As long as LA Agartha has iron skeletons and exploding skeletons, I`m happy.

I suggest you stop trying to provoke

Appease it by offering it a couple hundred bodies every turn

All hail The Great Eater

>>28372816
I want it to win. It deserves it after all this shit.

I've barely played this game due to DRM issues. What the fuck is this?

I want it to be recaptured and sent to Ulm with an army of supporters to fuck shit up, and only break free again after more glorious conquest.

National summons of Late Age Agartha, all Pale Ones are dead, so the humans take over their underground empire, worshiping dead Oracles and great Marble Statues. Ruling class is a bunch of necromancers and geomancers, animating those marvelous giants to wage wars.
Iron skeletons and exploding skeletons are some of my favorite national summons (along Pale Ones wights armed with glaives, who stop sucking at least in death).

>>28372890
It needs to be recaptured then taught as much astral magic as possible for insane MR.

>>28372955
then of course there is the Dead Oracle SC.
Give it the armor the makes it fly and have trample. Cast invulnerability and soul vortex. laugh as you slaughter armies.

>>28372955
Why is fucking everything dead in Late Age?

It's horror marked? Then it's only a matter of time till it's dead.

Fuck me it just showed up out of nowhere again.

Attacked a port, killed 27 of the 43 commanders there and all 3600 undead.

It doesn't matter if there's any one horror tougher, eventually it will just start having to face down multiple ultimate horrors.

> I prefer playing an fae thug nation
Mah Sidhe

>A tournament is hosted
>The Eater of the Dead is waiting for your champion.

Right now it regenerates 829 health per round, 4142 max health after -400 penalty.

Also picked up a curse somewhere.

>>28373335
>only higher stat is magic resistence
>total HP is less than hundredth of what the eater regenerates each turn

>>28373359
It can probably destroy the world before that matters.

>>28373393

It can't literally destroy the world. It's not fast or mobile enough to cover the world in the time it takes to recover, assuming you don't rely on the AI to handle reconstruction.

>>28373339
Hey, I summon hordes of clockwork horrors and iron dragons, thank you very much.

OP; just summon a bunch of trash mages, empower them with astral, ship them over, and have them horror mark the shit out of it every turn. If they die, shovel more of them in with the same scripts.

Eventually the problem will be taken care of. That's why horror marks and curses are in the game, to counteract this kind of thing.

If it still lives?

>>28373410
So... It's just kind of a roving Armageddon? It will never run out of things to eat? It'll just get more and more powerful?

Shit, it's not destroying the world, it's farming it.

>>28373418
But I must control it. It's just too powerful not too have.

I also question how effective horror marks could really be

Didn't read the thread.

Could a vastness take on this thing?

A full angelic host?

>>28373418
>>28373359
Ultimate horrors are unique and limited, even all of them together can fuck up on this one.
It would attract a legions of horrors after awhile, but even then nothing is guaranteed.

>>28373457
Give up controlling it. It is well and truly beyond that with that level of MR.

Now is the time to find a way to kill the most powerful being in the universe. You gave it life, now it is time to bring it death.

>>28373448

No, it might just clear crop a path of destruction, but eventually, the amount of curses and afflictions it has, and severity of horror mark, will eventually outstrip the rate at which this thing can get bigger and badder. The most basic analogy is that it increases linearly while the forces against it increase exponentially.

>>28373462
Make it few angelic hosts, to beat that 800+ regeneration.

>>28373485
Not to worry, it's already death.

>>28373485
I must.

How can I reduce something's MR? those black feeblemind bows? I have already cranked out 20 of them, got 30 dusk elders but think I need more magic pen.

>>28373485
>that level of MR

What, 25 MR? That's easily surmountable, OP is just bad at the game and doesn't know how to counter SC:s.

Oh, and if you haven't already tried it OP, now would be a good point to start experimenting with linking many, many mages into your master lich central node via astral magic. Throw him at it along with a horde of undead to soak turns and something will get through and be Super Effective.

>>28373547
Problem is the acid rain, which can kill my master lich in like 2 turns since he has an entire 5-15 health

>>28373526

Mage Mashers, Eyes of the Void and Spell Foci are your friends That's already +5 penetration, which chould be plenty for Disintegrate spam.

And that means dozens of mages with some distraction chaff and spam the damn spell.

>>28373571
>Disintegrate
No, control.

>>28373571
>distraction chaff
It's raining acid anyway, they won't last long no matter what he puts in between.

>>28373488
Fun thing is that with so many HP it is almost impervious to afflictions, even while cursed.
And even all unique Doom Horrors will spawn to attacks it, only 4 of them can do it in a single turn (because size 6), and they wont even beat that thing regenetation.
Some of them might have an instant kill atacks though.

>>28373596
Well, that just means multiple waves. 30 waves is basically equal to 30 turns. Ermor's motto: Quantity Beats Everything.

You guys are fruity dinguses.

Just use the magic nightmare attack on the thing, where it has to fight everything it has ever killed. Just get a mage with high magic level, and high magical piercing, and just cast the nightmare spell at it.

So, it doubles its kill-count?

>>28373618
That would be hilarious, but it says it does not work on undead.

Also pretty sure it would win and gain twice as many bodies.

>>28373648

It has to fight them as magical nightmares, it won't win. Not against 12K at once.

>>28373656
>says it does not work on undead
Well, fuck.

>>28373618
All that would do is double the killcount. All the chaff in the world won't beat this thing anymore, it's time for more powerful measures.

>>28373656

It's been given the gift of reason, to be sentient.

Pretty sure it should work.

>>28373657
>Not against 12K at once.
You kidding, what are they going to do?

>>28373618
Right, think for one second what that'd do. The answer? Double its kill count.

>>28373656
Even if it's not mindless? That's lame.

>>28373657
Thing about acid rain is that it hits every single unit on the field except for the devourer, and the devouer is near the point of 1000 regen per turn

Also what are the requirements to make mage masher?

using sorcery and wizardry rings on lich, going to empower death to like 20 and then throw my lich at it with 30 back up mages firing black bows whenever it comes into my domain.

Hopefully I can lower its MR and overwhelm it, and then FINALLY CONTROL IT.

>>28373680
Says it does not on mindless OR undead, sadly.

But it would be extremely hilarious to see it kill 18k in one fight.

Something with blood curse should be able to take it on.

High resist for the acid and stench, but something like a bloody angel should do the trick.

I have a vague remembrance that there is an artifact that insta-slays either undead or everything. Hell, maybe both.

Just forge that, slap it on the best chassis you can summon, deck it out in magical shit, then send it in.

>>28373712
Mage Masher requires water and fire

Clearly you need to summon two of them and feed them up, so they can beat it!

What could go wrong?

> Eater of the dead
> not Unfettered
It is not even it`s final form!
Though seeing how it already casts Acid Storm, I guess it kept the name because of Prophet status.

>>28373750
There can only be one at a time, unfortunately.

What's the shortcut to rename a hero again?

>>28373691

Already been proved earlier, that particular spell wouldn't work on the monster.

But if it did, it would work because the thing doesn't fight 12K dead people, it fights 12K magic spectral nightmares.

>>28373839
So? They're not immune to acid rain, and not enough can attack at once to overcome its regeneration anyways.

Now at 5020 health with -200 penalty, 1004 regen per round of combat.

>>28373807

"?" should show all shortcuts, IIRC

OP, those bracers are a unique item. Why haven't you Wished them off the thing yet? Not gonna do much, but better than nothing...

>>28373839
Oh look a shit ton of guys who can't beat its regen, take damage from acid rain, would take damage from the holy counter attack spell and are trample able. Bad idea.

>>28373912
And every death increases the regen and max health even further.

>>28373925
Granted the idea of someone casting that multiple times on it is funny as hell.

Hey guys, were there any true insta-kill abilities in-game? IIRC most of the so-called instant kill spells, like Soul Slay and such only did 999 damage.

>>28373910
Thanks man.

>>28373681
>>28373657
>12k
if modeled on the actual game, break the game.
The battlefield has a set size, and set limit on the amount of bodies that can fit in a space.
I think 12k might be enough to break that.

>>28374101
Battlefield grows bigger, way past grid size to accomodate 4k+ units afaik.

WHY DID YOU SUMMON IT

Alright fuck how do I kill this thing.

I don't think spamming horror marks will do much, considering the large number of afflictions it gets and heals every turn from horrors I assume, and I also lack astral mages/gems as well.

It just wiped out half of my military, the Ulm are coming in through the now undefended port it tore the shit out of, and it is currently parked right next to my capital that it just blazed a trail to.

Due to the number of temples it just destroyed, and probably its prophet ability, it is also reducing my dominion right outside my capital to nothing which I am sure the Ulm's will fill soon.

Like near Ulm's capital or something.

I kind of want to play something where some kid aspiring to greatness summons some ultra powerful creature that quickly breaks free of its control and becomes unstoppable, cannot be killed at all. The people of the world don't even bother to kill it anymore, they've given up, they just become nomadic in nature, moving away whenever it draws near, or send brave martyrs to lure it away from them if it should get too close.

If doable, this is clearly the best option.

Get it as far away from you as possible. Let it rampage, destroy your enemies and grow fat off the lands of your enemies. Then, one day, when he's all grown up, he'll come visit home and you'll see him finally lived up to his full potential - and you'll be ready for him.

>>28374717
>>28374747

Alternatively, as I don't think such a teleportation spell is available, have a mass migration of your forces. Just throw everything you have at the path of least resistance and start again on the other side of the world.

Buys some time, anyway.

>>28374747

If I'm not mistaken it is possible, but it's entirely random where the thing ends up. It could end up in exactly the same place, under the sea, or behind a volcano.

Also OP, why not banish it to the underworld? That's a spell, you can just chuck it into Tartarus.

>>28374594

Anon, I've been telling you this for half a day now, but motherfucking Disintegrate spam. Literally all of your mages can cast it, just overwhelm the sucker with that.

Seriouslyh people. the numbers are impressive but so what? Dude's playing Ermor so he doesn't need any land, just some forts to stick his mages in.

alright I have decided if I keep turtling this thing will crush me, so I am moving the other half of my forces that it did not eat out to attack.

Probably not going to work honestly. most of the massive looking chunks of army on this picture are only groups of 500 longdead, but I do have several thousand total. Problem is Ulm's armys are rather massive, and filled with heavy units that are worth a shit. Destroying his temples to allow my dominion to make his land as shitty as mine is priority number one after the devouer is dealt with.

Once my mages finish researching disintegrate, assuming they succeed at killing the devourer and mostly live, I will have them spend thousands of death gems on animating an army of lictors and banshees for the next prophet to lead directly to Ulm's capital.

My bless is incredible, so I expect them to tear the fuck out of everything. Last time I had the devourer lead an army of 265 blessed lictors the only reason the rape train ended is because the devourer switched sides.

Cast Soul Gate, Ulm AI cannot handle etherial legionaries (except maybe ocassional Iron Blizzard spam) and those beauties.
Actually those can even kill your Nemesis, if they survive an acid storm and get lucky with MR roll.
Or Restore soul them, give a Black Heart (takes blood though) and enjoy your new assassin corps.

OP, try to video killing it with fraps or something.

Congrats OP. You managed to destroy the world and kill all life as we know it. Its a slow death, but yeah, all of creation is pretty much fucked.

I recommend this as a lecture before the Eater knocks at your door.

Dude, Ulm's armies are a joke. Just spam Leprosy and watch them crumble without you having to lift a finger.

>>28374962
Shit, just cast Utterdark and watch the entire faction crumble. As an added bonus, you will win every battle because darkness.

Yeah was working on researching towards utterdark actually.

So I'm pretty sure the devourer just imploded.

1v600 underwater fight, interesting note, ACID RAIN DOES NOT WORK UNDERWATER HOLY SHIT.

Though that didnt seem to mean much since it was still regenerating 1k health every round.

After about 50 rounds it just disappeared seemingly randomly. Hall of fame says it has -5733 health and is dead.

It was at full health when it happened, there was only one 3 death caster in the battle at the time and he was passed out, and then 10ish holy 1 priests.

what the fuck just happened.

Auto routing. Happens to attackers after 50 rounds. It had nowhere to retreat, so it died.

Well that is disappointing.

I like this idea and I do not know why.

Alright which spell do I need to commit my 2nd greatest atrocity against nature?

>>28375134
Ritual of Rebirth, Enchancement school. Might not work on undead.
However heed the warning! >>28375124
