Enigma of Steel has relatively poor mages, especially for Early Era. The [[/Warrior Smith/]] are [[ Dominions 3: The Awakening/Magic/Abbreviations|1E1?]], with the random choice being +100% AEFW and +50% AEFW, so there is a reasonable chance (one in four) of a 2E mage. The Shaman are 1E1H1? with the random being +100% FEDN and +50% FEDN. The Antlered Shaman are 2E2N1H1?, with the random being a +10% FEDN. | Enigma of Steel has relatively poor mages, especially for Early Era.

Enigma of Steel starts with two nation-specific sites, the Wheel of Pain and Irminsul. The Wheel of Pain allows for the recruitment of capital-only Steel Warriors, while Irminsul gives 1 death, 2 nature and 3 earth gems per turn in addition to allowing recruitment of the capital-only Antlered Shaman. | Enigma of Steel starts with two nation-specific sites, the Wheel of Pain and Irminsul.

Sort of underwhelming. A run-of-the-mill commander with decent stats that are only slightly above those of your normal Warrior Chief, fairly low leadership (40), and he's not even stealthy (probably due to the smell). He ''is'' sacred, free, and he comes with a Sword of Sharpness. | Sort of underwhelming.

Get yourself a copy of "Anvil of Crom" from the Conan the Barbarian soundtrack. Make sure you've got a good sub-woofer. Crank it up pretty damn loud. When your SO complains, scream back something that sounds like you're speaking with a mouth full of marbles... maybe "Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you! " or maybe "It's not a tumor!" or simply "Enough talk!" | Get yourself a copy of "Anvil of Crom" from the Conan the Barbarian soundtrack. Make sure you've got a good sub-woofer.

After she's walked out of the room muttering something that you cannot hear over the bass drums, create your pretender god. You should name it "Crom," and it really shouldn't be anything less manly than a [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Physical Form/Lord of War|Lord of War]]. I mean, you ''could'' use a crone as a chassis, but Aharnold would call you a "gurley man"... and so would I. | After she's walked out of the room muttering something that you cannot hear over the bass drums, create your pretender god.
