How does one update the beta on Desura? Is there an option like Steam?

Normally you can use the program to grab updates, like you would with Steam (it is not automatic). But for Dom4 beta updates, you have to go to the Desura website and log-in, then go to the Dom4 page and download from the link provided.

It is as SOM stated.. normally you can use the Desura client but I think they've been releasing beta versions so quickly they've only put up the DRM-less installer for d/l on the website.

So..

1) Log in to the Desura site. 

2) Click your login name's link, next to where it says (logout).

3) Click the "Games" tab link.  It's on the same row as Summary, Comments, Review, etc..  This will take you to a page with links to all the games you own on Desura.

4) Click on "Dominions 4" and it'll take you to the game page.  On the right is the link to the installer download.  (Full EXE Installer v3.99j).  Download and install it!


That's how I normally get to my owned game list, on Desura's website, to download my installers.  You can also just do a search in the search box, for the title or browse the full game catalog for it.  The games' main pages also contain the installer download links if you're logged in.

Actually, in my okay list, I moved the mouse over the "ready" under "status". It popped up that an update to 3.99j was available...gave me an option to update so I did. Easy

Anyone know when the dom 4 manual will be available for download? Or is it coming with the actual game release?

I would love to know this. Because I have no idea what the "undying" bonus for death magic does.

I was wondering that myself, the other day, along with a couple other things.  Web searches didn't bring anything immdediately definitive.

Something about living past their hitpoint threshold (like "extra HP") then dying at the end of battle is all I could come up with on that.

Oh.. I see.  It's obviously something to do with extra hit points and/or delayed death.

So I'd guess that Undead troops get this extra temporary HP bonus.  If their HP drops even with this addition, they still die, but if it's in between the original and the new total then they don't die until the battle is done?

Does that mean that the bonus HP given for Nature magic only works for non-undead & demons (and it's permanent)?

I don't know anything specific. Some forum posters claimed that the Undying bless worked on any holy unit, effectively giving them extra HP and then making them die at the end of the battle if it goes past that threshold unless they are undead, who survive even if they lose all normal HP and go into "undying" HP.

Seems a bit unwieldy and also makes a Death bless strategy a bit less desirable unless you can field a decent amount of undead sacred forces.
