Culka posted:Next patch is going to hit soon (in a few days?), with 2 new nations: MA Nazca and EA/MA/LA Xibalba. Finally some event-modding! I guess this means I'll don't have to make creepy super-units/starting sites to modify my mod-nations anymore.

Agent Kool-Aid posted:they've already been elaborated on. nazca is a MA nation specifically where caelians have run into mictlan people and a nation based on worship of them formed. also has some stuff about their dead being mummified. Apparently MA has flooded caves because of drunk aliens crashing their city into the sea.

That is... actually pretty reasonable for mythology. Replace alien with god and you could see that being a legit "lost civilization that sank into the sea" thing.

Yeah, but I mean in real life. Plenty of mythologies have "gods got drunk and bad poo poo happened" stories. This would just feature drunken foreign gods rather than local.

Nuclearmonkee posted:Just the illithids and aboleths. The rest of the nation is Lovecraft inspired. And Illithids and Aboleths are themselves Lovecraft inspired so it's all really Lovecraft in the end. That said if some other Illithids crashed into Xibalba as well I am beginning to wonder just how many goddamn spaceships they have. The 'Falling Star' they crashed into R'lyeh was the first, now they've crashed another one into Xibalba. Maybe the one that crashed into Xibalba was part of the Falling Star. That said the Illithids are clearly terrible pilots and someone needs to take their spaceships away. Nazca is based off the Incas and is apparently a nation of mans and caelians ruled by ancient blinged out mummy councils; the mummies are so blinged out that they even have upkeep, such decadence!

Are there any Minoan themed civilizations? I don't think so. It would be interesting if they created an underwater nation themed off of them or added some of that to EA Pelagia. And made MA Pelagia having absorbed the remnants of Bertyos. Mostly I think the Minoans would be awesome because they have cool pottery. They even had a period where they favored sea themed decoration on their pottery. Also sometimes it annoys me that some pretenders are arbitrarily worse than others. Why does the Golden Idol have only one miscellaneous slot and cost 20 more than the statues? It provides similar magic and utility. I found this out while playing around with a potential build for Bertyos, a major Earth Bless with useful blood cross paths.

Earth + Blood is a fairly rare crosspath that gives access to some very powerful spells and items, so it usually goes for a bit of a premium.

They added considerably more Zoroastrian stuff to the Caelums, so it would be pretty neat if they get a Minoan or Polynesian influence.

Another day in Turkish Delight, another massacre. Skelespam < Elespam This is what happens if you're too cheap to use gems. Don't fall into this trap! Stay smart, spam smart. (But don't worry about what happens to Neruz here, he still has 2-3 similar armies in the field. And he only lost a small fraction of his mages.  )

My global caster was walking all over your eastern half and my astral mages have been spying around in your western half. Together with all those half-dead scouts all over the place, I really do know how loving huge C'tis is. Which is why I hope someone takes over Vanheim at least, because then my southern ally can do more then just feeding you new provinces.

Does anyone know any good (as in documented, not for linux autists, not a scam, usable in Windows 7) file converters to get .wav or .mp3 files to 22050Hz mono a-Law with an .al ending? Trying to do some sound modding but it's a total loving wasteland out there.

Hah, I was asking what Sceleria casted with that many mages (in communion I suppose), not what Asphodel casted :P. Spamming more skellis? I know the Asphodel freespawn is that, free and weak, so I suppose the amount isn't a good indicator of strength, but Sceleria protective wall was also cheap (200 low level undeads), so it doesn't surprise me in the end the bigger numbers won. Maybe with Fire storm/earthquake it would have been the other way around, but those aren't thaumaturg spells.

Turin Turambar posted:foul vapors/doom/bone grinding? I used the following spells in that fight:
I think this probably cost Neruz the game, however. When it's just him and a giant lategame blood power left, he just threw away a lot of momentum by engaging a tiny stubborn dying player. I probably could have been killed by a domkill or remote attacks (since all my mages were in one spot). Several big nations just AI'd, and that Aspho stack could have gobbled up a lot of territory or broken open some forted thrones. Now Neruz has to waste a lot of time bringing a second army to my cap to finish this up since I have enough Thaums to probably recall my god in time for another costly defense. The moral of the story is: Don't AI! Maybe you can cause your attackers some grief, and at the worst, you get to play around with some battle magic on your research stack.
