Rod of Death casts undead mastery once per battle. Dawn Fang casts strange fire 3 times per turn. I'm not done with the recosting, but it's fun messing around when stuff like Holger`s head shits out 20 hoburg crossbows and pikemen a turn rather than have it be thirt shop halloween decoration it is in vanilla.

Can you get duplicates of a the elemental royalties? Say you've summoned three QoEA already. You try to summon a 4th, what happens?

Unless someone has polymorphed\transformed one of the royalties in which case you get a new one!

Well assuming someone did spend 50+ nature gems and didn't get a dumb chassis like Rhuax the flying monkey

I never said it was practical; just that it works. My army of Treelords turned into Bears and Tigers and Boars proves this.

amuayse posted:I updated my artifact boosting mod to 0.2 It looks like you tried to give #immortal to several items, but unless I'm missing something, that command doesn't work for items, and it would be pointless anyway since items are dropped on death, even for immortals.

How does The Ankh work in game then? IIRC the fluff for it says the bearer can't die or somesuch.

Make it non-unique and have it turn into like 7 different ankhs to be found after the fight.

What nation do you guys think is the most boring non UW nation fluffwise? I personally think Abysia and MA Mari.

I'd say a lot of the oldest nations like your Arcos and Ermor, Marverni and Mans and such are pretty boring. You can really see a distinct difference between those nations and the new stuff like Nazca and the Zotses and jewish giants and others in regards to background, fluff, cool units, and unique mechanics. So yeah nations of little men with spears and not much else are due for a revamp.

Not really anyone, MA Man or Arco if I had to pick someone probably. You can't have only super special unique nations imo, some "normal humans" are needed and I feel most human nations have decent enough themes&things to make up for it (well except MA Arco I guess they don't really have a thing).

MA Arcos's thing is being the best at mind hunting.

amuayse posted:EA and MA need more national identity. EA just needs a straight up buff. MA Arco sucks because it's cap only troops and its cap only mages are the same as their regulars, but with a slight upgrade. They're Classical Greeks at the height of Classical Greek culture, they ought to at least keep the engineers/mage engineers/philosophers of EA - which is supposed to be the mythological Greeks anyway. And why not give them sailing, too?

After all, if EA is "mythical Athens", MA can by mythical Sparta after they win the mythical Peloponnissian war. Leaving LA as mythic Macedonia (with gorillas).

Leaving LA as mythic Macedonia (with gorillas). I really like this idea. EA Arco has its own flavour but MA and LA are very similar and could use this kind of distinction. It sounds like something Kristoffer would do anyway.
