Dominions 3: The Awakening/Nations/Fomoria: Difference between revisions

[[Image:Dom3_FomorianGiant.jpg|right|thumb|The Fomorian Giants are enormous one-eyed monsters. Only a few are uncorrupted by the curse.]]

A mix of giant Fomorians and their more normal-sized Nemedian and Fir Bolg subjects. Due to their raiding and disloyalty, the gods cursed the Fomorians with deformities; as a result, the midsized "Fomorian" troops have a chance of being recruited with Afflictions.

:Ye basic slinger. Better stats than the average human; on the other hand, slings suck.

:Basic offensive infantry. Lacks a helmet, so tends to get its block knocked off.

:Basic defensive infantry. Continues to lack a helmet.

:A militia version of Fomorian troops. Lacks armor.

:A Fomorian Warrior with a further stat boost, and Sacredness. Capital only.

:Sacred, Poor Amphibian, and Cold Resistance 50. Just in case you wanted [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Nations/Niefelheim|Niefel]]-like troops. Capital only.

:A solid equipment fit backed up by Stealth, Glamour, and Darkvision 50. Capital only.

:Ye basic stealthy scout. Slight stat advantage over the basic human version.

:Ye basic infantry commander. Does not come with a default helmet, and only has leadership 40.

:'Cuz, y'know, giants would be really good at that stealth thing. Save money and go for the Fir Bolg version instead.

:Poor Amphibian, Cold Resistance 50, and Sailing, in addition to being a true size-6 giant. The Fomorian King can easily become a one-man army. Capital only.

:Stealth, Glamour, and Darkvision 50. Capital only.

:Stealth, Glamour, and Darkvision 50. Expensive, but you do get what you pay for. Capital only.

''Tuan is an ancient sage and the last surviving Partholonian. When the Fomorian plague struck his people, he alone managed to survive. When his proud race fell to extinction, he hid in the shapes of stag, bear, eagle and salmon. Through the ages he has found the means to fully cheat death and lives to tell of the fate of the Partholonians and the Fomorians. A humble man, he serves the kings that be and avoids the burden of leadership in favor of scholastic tasks.''

Basically an upgraded Nemedian Sorceress, Tuan packs a big magical punch into a well-defended frame. Sadly, his total uninterest in leadership means you can't even give him a bodyguard.

''Balor is the undisputed ruler of all Fomorians. He ruled the Fomorian Giants when they guarded the realm of the watery dead, he led them when they ravaged the world, he protected them from the invaders and he will lead them once again in conquest of this world. Balor is twice cursed. He is afflicted with a monstrous appearance, a single eye, skin as black as the night and a ravenous hunger. He is also cursed to be slain by his own grandson. This has led him to promptly imprison all of his daughters and their sons in guarded towers. During the conjuration of the plague that was to slay the Nemedians, Balor accidentally looked into the plague cauldron and the vapors lodged themselves in his single eye and turned it to evil. Now the gaze of Balor destroys the flesh of men.''

The Fomorian King after whom all other Fomorian Kings are but pale imitations. If for some reason you don't think the basic Fomorian King is strong enough to make a [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Units/SC|Super Combatant]], well, now you've got a stronger one.

''Bres, the Beautiful, is the son of Balor. He is but a century old, but has become the hope of the nation. Untouched by the Curse, he is a living legend. Bres is incredibly handsome and surrounded by an aura of splendour. Regardless of what the Fomorians think of him, he is somewhat of a coward who prefers to live in luxury in the halls of his father.''

:Unleashes the Morrigans on the battlefield. As with e.g. Mists of Deception, Morrigans will continually spawn from the edges of the battlefield.

:Summons a pack of 20 Black Dogs. Black Dogs are Animals, stealthy, have Darkvision 100, and Dark Power +2.

:Summons a pack of 9 sacred Barghests. Barghests are Animals, sacred, stealthy, have Darkvision 100, and Dark Power +3.

:Summons a sacred Morrigan. Morrigans are troops with these traits: Sacred, Fear +0, Cold Resistance 100, Poison Resistance 100, Undead, Need not Eat, Flying, Stealthy, Glamour. They carry armor and a shield, and a special spear that drains life and causes decay.
