Dominions 6: Magic Sites & Labs

Laboratories: Your Magical Command Centers

Laboratories are the heart of your magical operations in Dominions 6. Let’s break down their role and how you go about setting them up:

What’s the Deal with Labs?

• Gem Collection Points: Think of Labs as your magic gem banks. This is where those valuable gems pile up.

• Research Powerhouses: Got mages? Place them in a lab to supercharge your research efforts.

• Ritual Spell Headquarters: Big, powerful spells? You’ll need a lab to cast those.

• Costs and Discounts: Building a lab usually sets you back around 600 gold, but it’s not the same deal for everyone. Take Arcoscephale & Pangeaea, for example – they get to build labs at a discount. Pangeaea’s got an even sweeter deal in forest provinces, where they only pay half the price… Guess it pays off to be in tune with nature’s magic!!

Magic Sites: Unleashing Hidden Powers

Magic Sites are like hidden treasures in Dominions 6… they’re scattered across your provinces and bring a host of benefits.

Unraveling Magic Sites:

• More Than Structures: Some are buildings, others are just magical spots. They’re great for extra gem production and recruiting unique units.

• Hidden in Plain Sight: Magic Sites can be elusive. You might have several in a province, but they’re not all visible right away…

• Terrain Matters: Scouting for these sites? You’ll have better luck in places like forests, wastelands or the deep sea. As for plains and farmlands, they’re not really hotspots for stumbling upon these magical locations…

Discovering the Mystical:

• Mage-Led Expeditions: Send out your mages with the right skill level to uncover these sites. The site’s difficulty level is key here.

• Revealing Spells: Spells like Haruspex & Acashic Knowledge are your go-to for revealing these sites.

Utilizing Magic Sites:

• Exclusive Access: Some sites offer perks to certain units – think of it as a members-only benefit.

• Nation-Specific Perks: Recruiting unique units from a site is exclusive to that nation. Capture an enemy’s site and you get their gems, but not their unique units…

Things to Watch Out For:

• Prerequisites: Some sites need extra structures, like a lab, to be fully functional.

• Negative Effects: Be aware, some sites might bring problems like unrest, regardless of whether you’ve found them…
