nunda [Claiming thrones] mentioning bishop fish requiring items to come on land |
| The Thrones of Ascension are powerful and special magic sites of which only a fixed number will exist in any particular game of Dominions. When playing in the default "Thrones of Ascension" game mode, each Throne grants the player a number of Ascension Points equivalent to the level of that Throne, and a particular number of Ascension Points will be required to win the game. | The Thrones of Ascension are powerful and special magic sites of which only a fixed number will exist in any particular game of Dominions.

| === Claiming thrones === | ===== Conquering throne provinces ===== |
| In order to 'activate' the Ascension Points of a throne you control it has to be 'claimed'. Claiming a throne is an action any pretender god or holy 3 priest can do (notably prophets are all holy 3, though afflictions may cause them to loose paths and be unaible to claim thrones thereafter). In general thrones also have effects which only become active once the throne is claimed. Some thrones also have some effects that are always active without the throne beeing claimed. These can be identified by beeing placed above the "Effects from claimed throne"-line. A throne whose province (and fort if present) is conquered by another nation becomes unclaimed. | Every throne is guarded by a independent troops and mages. The strength of these indies vary a lot, and it can thus be worthwhile to ping (send in a commander scripted to retreat) a throne before conquering it. A few things to keep in mind when attacking throne independents: |
| | * Mages will replenish their gems after each fight. |
| | * Generic mages will cast spells from a hardcoded list of spells. |
| | * Non-generic mages, like titans, will cast spells from all schools of magic but each one will have a research level cap. The exact research cap can be found using the [[https://larzm42.github.io/dom5inspector/|Mod Inspector]]. |

| ===Throne Clusters=== | ===== Claiming thrones ===== |
| | In order to 'activate' the Ascension Points of a throne you control it has to be 'claimed'. Claiming a throne is an action any [[pretender]] god, disciple, or {{path>H3}} priest can do (notably [[prophet]]s are all holy 3, though [[afflictions]] may cause them to lose paths and be unable to claim thrones thereafter). In general thrones also have effects which only become active once the throne is claimed. Some thrones also have some effects that are always active without the throne being claimed. These can be identified by the effects being listed above the "Effects from claimed throne"-line. A throne whose province (and [[fort]] if present) is conquered by another nation becomes unclaimed. |
| | |
| | There are also 3 good [[events]] that require at least 6/8/10 friendly dominion in the province that claim the throne without the need for player action. As events, they are unreliable and shouldn't be counted on. |
| | |
| | Most [[nations]] do not have {{path>H3}} priests to recruit, but some have national [[rituals]] for them. There are also 2 generic [[summon spells]] with {{path>H3}}: |
| | * ??Summon Bishop Fish?? (requires an [[Underwater]] [[Laboratory]], and ??Shambler Skin Armor?? or ??Amulet of the Fish?? to come on land) |
| | * ??Juggernaut Construction?? (requires [[Divine Name]] to claim) |
| | |
| | Construction 8 items like ??Sword of Justice?? can also boost {{path>H2}} priests to {{path>H3}} in a pinch. |
| | ===== Throne Clusters ===== |
| |
| The below tables assign 'clusters' to some of the thrones. Thrones in the same cluster are more likely to appear in the same game together. For example, if you find a Throne of Summer, you are more likely to see the Thrones of Winter, Spring, and Autumn, since they are all in cluster #1. | The below tables assign 'clusters' to some of the thrones.

| 1: Once captured, the owner of the province containing the Throne of Elements will be warned with an event that the throne is warded. If the owner claims the throne anyway, they will suffer hurricanes and attacks in the springtime from armies of birds and air mages. If story events are enabled, they will also be attacked in the summer, fall, and winter by the respective elemental troops and accompanying natural disasters. To avoid this, the owner can bring an air, fire, earth, and water mage to unlock each season's wards respectively. Dispelling the wards this way will reward the owner with various gems and four powerful elemental mages. Alternatively, a sufficiently powerful astral mage can simply break the wards, although they will not receive the rewards. | 1: Once captured, the owner of the province containing the Throne of Elements will be warned with an event that the throne is warded.

| | =====Frequently Asked Questions===== |
| | |
| | * What happens if I claim a +scale throne when I've already maxed that scale, e.g. Throne of Life when I'm at Growth-3? |
| | * Nothing. But if you're at Growth-3 and you claim both the Throne of Life (+Growth) and Throne of Death (+Death), you'll still be at Growth-3. |
