Celestial Chastisement T'ien Ch'i Thread - Dominions 3: The Awakening

This TC national spell has a chance to make the magic being switch sides. In the spell description is says "powerful beings often disregard the compulsion" . What determines what a "powerful" being is? Is it just the MR of the magic being? I'm asking because in a recent battle I hit some Siege Golems with about 20 castings of Celestial Chastisement....and not once did I get one to switch sides, and the MR on the siege golems wasn't great even with the anti magic amulet.

Are you sure your Celestial Chastisement is even hitting those golems?

Forum.shrapnelgames.com :
>>I notice the nice little spell that Tien Chi has called Celestial Chastisement. Allows me to either harm (if they pass mr roll) or takeover magic beings (if they fail the roll) problem is that it only has a range of 15. And he puts the eagle kings in the back rank.
>>That Celestial Chastisement will only work for magic beings that attack you. It won't help you much in this case.

MR defence suped-up Forum.shrapnelgames.com:
>> I think is gives a +4 MR save so you may need some penetration boosters to help boost its effectiveness.

Otherwise, perhaps golems are immune to CC?

I'm sure the spell is hitting because I can see the damage component inflicting its damage. I wish I had thought to watch the battle with the detailed battle log scrolling. Is there a way to get a detailed battle log in Dom 3 like there is in Dom 4 with the "3" key?

How do you do that?

Ummmm, I think you've just updated your post

To be clear: no, Dom 3 does not have that.

I checked about this several months ago.
iirc, Celestial Chastisement has bug. It haven't any nextspell, and effect type is simple damage(2).
If you play single player game, and if you want to fix that, use this for Mod.
