First of all, you picked an absolutely great and traditional topic to make your first post on. Second of all, you can't have Doomguards because they a) have a special class and b) split. As for me, I love Aranea Lords and different Golems. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

I hardly ever use Capture Soul and Simulacrum, but on the one or two times I did, I had two Ur-Basilisks, A Dark Wyrm, and some kind of spellcaster. -------------------- Ex-member-#2475. Post count = 406 + whatever it says below. Posts: 402 | Registered: Thursday, May 29 2003 07:00 |

Back in the Exile 3 days, I did h** e*** once to be able to summon a doom gaurd. Sadly I think I accidentally hit one and they just kept on popping up. Soon, I not only was surrounded by a legion of doom gaurds, but I couldn't tell which was hostile and which wasn't. So, I'd assume not allowing people to capture doom guards was for good reason. What did happen after that unfortunate incident? My computer took forever to do anything and I ended up restarting my computer. Posts: 53 | Registered: Thursday, February 13 2003 08:00 |

I keep Ur-Basilisks, Null Bugs, and Gazers, but I hardly ever summon either one. They're not necessary. Creatures that are just fighters or casters, not utility creatures, are even more useless. They just steal experience when they kill things. —Alorael, who doesn't think that guessing which doomguards are hostile and which are copies of the contraband summoning is an important question. Part of the problem is that copies of the creature are set to the default setting, which means the duplicates are all hostile to your party. Only the original will be on your side, and its propensity towards creating an army of enemies hardly makes it a great help. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

In the Trilogy, I pretty much never used these spells, although they are indispensable in Blades. I think I had a Dervish, a Wizard, and possibly a Gazer or Mung Demon at some point or another. I never found them to be worthwhile to Simulacrum back up, though; on the rare occasions when I felt the need to summon something, I could always use Arcane Summon instead. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I remember i used to have a wizard, vampire and ur-basilisk, i think. Didn't use it much but that just makes it more exciting when you do use it. -------------------- "This......is a TREE! What's it for?" -Exile III Posts: 75 | Registered: Saturday, December 20 2003 08:00 |

I'd say I have a good batch of simulacrums in my Torment file. Power Crystal, Drake Lord, Dark Wyrm, and a Haakai. In torment these come in handy quite a bit for me. -------------------- Legends tell that Avernum, Is a gateway to the underworld, from which the dead never return, Well thats a lie because im here now aren't I. -------------------------------- "Never get into a fight with an idiot.

An Ur-Basilisk was the only creature I ever thought of as necessary, only because they dispose of Doom-Guards rather neatly. -------------------- You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building.

Well, back in Exile simulclarum was actually useful. In Avernum, it just got worse and worse. By the time you get to Avernum 3, I personally thought the spell was next to useless. Theres no point summoning weak creatures with this spell, and strong creatures not only require large chunks of SP, they dont last long (I havnt played A3 in a long time, but IIRC I stopped using Simulclarum after I realised the creatures I summoned tended to dissappear after 3 rounds. Actually, that was probably A2.), and they have practically no real effect on a given battle (You can just slaughter everything yourself). Plus, unlike Exile, you cant capture the soul of particularly cool creatures (eg dragons), not to mention that the spell is a hostile one, which notches its usefullness down yet another level. Having said that, I have just checked my save file and I had: Gazer Dark Wyrm Hakaai Efreet IIRC I practically never used them, but it seems plenty of other people use them to great effect. Whatever floats your boat I guess. Posts: 22 | Registered: Tuesday, July 8 2003 07:00 |

In my A2 game I have the evil wizard Grazerl(I have no idea how to spell his name). It's cool becouse I use him to fight himself. Other then that I never use the spell. Yes Sasuke, the spell seemed not to be needed in A3. Posts: 228 | Registered: Monday, October 21 2002 07:00 |

yeah I agree not the most useful spell, but I reckon its best use is pitting monsters of your choice against each other. How else could you answer the age old question who would win in a fight between a cat and a dog, or how long a child would last against a drake lord. By the way I think my list was guard darkwurm crystal soul kitten -------------------- Not all who wander are lost Im here today, gone tomorrow. But you want to know who i am?

I didn't have Capture Soul in my copy of Avernum, only Simulacrum. It summoned whatever I targeted.

The only time I remember using the capture soul and simulacrum spell was right after I got them in A3, on that spiny worm you can find in the same Vahatni settlement. It was fun to just summon it against weak creatures if i got bored, but i never bothered to capture any strong or usefull monsters Posts: 38 | Registered: Thursday, March 4 2004 08:00 |
