Best titles for a Pretender

[Ctennyson]

Check this one out for the Moloch:

Hel, King of Every Flame, He Who Stole the Fire, Duke of Hell.

Anyone else wanna share anything cool, or hilarious?

[Psitticine]

I have a Lich Queen who is the Grand Vizier of the Lands of Woe, Queen of Death, She Who Loves Not The Light, Goddess of Terror, the Burning Soul AND the Queen of Heavenly Fires. How's that for a lot of job responsibilties? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Sindai]

My personal favorite has always been "He Who is at the Center." Just sounds sweet.

[Norfleet]

I've gotten one where I'm both "something of Light" and "Enemy of Light".

The coolest one I've managed to make, which, alas, wasn't really a functional god, was when I was generating test gods just to see how system worked, and got "Satan, Lord of Darkness".

[Zurai]

My god in my Tuatha AAR (I'll get the next few chapters out soon! Promise!) is Garsivaz, the Turner of the Flood (among other, less cool titles). I like that one.

[Hana]

Queen of Immortal Evils, Goddess of Dark Magics, Princess of Untimely Death, the Power Perverse, Goddess of Decay

[Ragnarok-X]

it doesnt sound THAT cool, but i like the "the sword of balance" as well as "Councilor of Gods"

[Taqwus]

If memory serves, I once took an absurdly high astral and was rewarded with "Pivot of the Universe". Whoa -- take THAT, Total Perspective Vortex.

[moodgiesanta]

Eater of Children made me chuckle, not in a funny way, but in a "what the hey?" kind of way.

The flavor stuff in this game . . . amazing. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Leif_-]

On a recent pretender I got "Symbol of Unchallenged Victory." Not much point in playing the game after turn 1, is there? *g*

[archaeolept]

eater of filth

[Ctennyson]

And now, for the worst title ever:

An AI Mictlan Lordof Night:

Barke, Gatherer of the Dead, Lord of Birds and Parrots.

LOL

Psitticine might have something to say about that one ;P

[CharonJr]

I seem to recall a "He Who shall not be named" once http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

CharonJr

[Psitticine]

It's hard work being the Lord of Birds and Parrots, but it's well worth it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Zurai]

Ythail, God of Invincible Power, Keeper of the Water Dead, the Howler, Prince of the Raging Seas.

Hermobol, Master of Magic, Lord of Fear and Trembling, Enemy of Infants, King of Suffering.

Skarphe, Crystallizer of Dreams, Commander of Truth, Queen of the Celestial Bodies, Guardian of the Law.

[fahdiz]

[Arryn]

Enemy of Infants<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">LOL, a poetic way of saying "The Boogey Man" ...

[Ctennyson]

I wonder whats required to get "God of Invincible Power" thats the coolest one I have heard so far.

And yeah, Lord of Birds and Parrots has to be the lamest ever. lol

[Ed Kolis]

On my first game with the demo I got something like 5 titles, the Last of which was something like "God of Many Titles" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Potatoman]

Ooh I've got a good one: Rausedower, He Who Holds the Fate of All, God of Invincible Power, God of Gods, Lord of This World, King of the Sacred Eye, He Who is At the Center.

[fahdiz]

[fahdiz]

I got "Harvester of Sailors" Last night, and thought it just had a ring to it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Psitticine]

I really enjoy playing "Guess The Paths" with AI Pretenders based on their titles. It's' fun, especially trying to figure out some of the ones unlocked by certain combos of magic. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Taqwus]

God of Gods? Sheesh, I've only gotten King of Kings (and there was another pretender claiming it that game. There can be only one!). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Searching the binary, hm. There are a LOT of titles; perhaps nation-specific? Some... 404 lines of titles, not counting variations involving Master / Prince / King / Lord et al.

"# of Penitential Torture"
"Patron of Human Sacrifice"
"Persecutor and Destroyer of Youth"
"the Old, Old One"
"Monster of Confusion and Disorder" -- ooh, that sounds fun.
"He Who Should not be Named", "the Lurker at the Threshold", "the Hunger Without Thought" -- R'lyeh-specific I'd guess.

"The Once and Future King", hehehe.

[Ctennyson]

New Ermor Pretender, and new information:

Hella, Lich Queen(Not a title), Father of Gods, Most Evil Mind, Guardian of the Tablets of Destiny, God of the Void, Seducer of Life, God of Insolence

Paths: Blood 9 Astral 9
Dominion 10

The Dominion rating is the catalyst for many of the "Awesome" sounding titles, not the paths.

From the next Dominion 10 guy:

The One Who Contains Everything, God of Invincible Power, The Leeching Darkness, Prince of This World

Having a Path rating of 10 grants better titles than 9. 9 is way better than 4, apparently the next step down, just like with blesses. Having 1 in a path will also get you the introductory titles for that path.

Level 1 Nature: Lord of Birds and Parrots
Level 1 Earth: Patron of Beggars

etc, the level 1's arent pretty lol.

Level 10 blood on Vampire Queen: "The Man Eater"

Most fun I've ever had testing something out =)

[Graeme Dice]

How about Brother Illearth, King of Kings, Seducer of Life, God of Wealth and Power, God of Blood.

[Coffeedragon]

1) The Incomparable, King of Kings, Teacher of Philosophy, the Unforgiving God, Lord of Discipline. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

2) Doctor Faustus, Enemy of Infants. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

[Ed Kolis]

Not a pretender title, but in a MP game I'm in, there was recently a message saying that "Childfeaster the Archbishop of Ermor" had been proclaimed prophet of Ermor! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

[Coffeedragon]

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yeah, I think so. Scales also give some titles.

[Kristoffer O]

Paths, dominions, nation, scales, physical form (immobiles, undeads etc) all affect your titles.

High dominion strength = many titles.
High dominion, high path and especially combinations of high dominion and/or several paths = powertitles.

[Ivan Pedroso]

I once got this (I guess he likes mountains):

Rex, Lord of the Mountains, the Mountain lord

[mivayan]

I got God of invincible power, Mother of gods, Queen of insanity, Enemy of infants, Lady of Fraud and Theft on a ashen empire ermor vampire queen with dom10, earth2 astral5 death6 blood2, luck2 magic3, other scales -3.

[Peter Ebbesen]

I quite like this full title for my new Ermor Lich Queen (Soul Gate, -3/-3/-3/-3/-3/+3, Dominion 10, 4F3A3W3E9D3N):

"Goddess of Dark Magics, Lady of Ashes, She Who Opened the Box of Woe, the Adversary, the Everburning One"

Let's hope it scares my MP opponent. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[DarkTears]

Here is one of my "experimental gods".
http://hosting.vitae.hu/script5/cinema4d/DT.jpg

[Torvak]

"Goddess of Dark Magics, Lady of Ashes, She Who Opened the Box of Woe, the Adversary, the Everburning One"
<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">She who opened a can of whoop-*** http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[PhilD]

DarkTears:

Now that's an inspiring name for a god. People will most certainly flock to his cause...

[Zurai]

Some more fun ones I found:

Hringhome, God of Invincible Power, Harvester of Sailors, the Watcher of the Gallows, King of Ice, He Who is at the Center

Anuvade, Queen of Majesty, Sky of all the People, Queen of the Four Winds, Mistress of the Seraphim, Lady of Many Names

Abogol, the Infernal Sovereign, the Brilliant God, the Raging Lord, King of Blood, the Fire of Hatred, Lord of the Smouldercone

[Endoperez]

The races certainly affect those names. Anuvade is certainly goddess of Caelum and Abogol for Abysia. Did you take Astral/Blood with Abogol, or is "Lord of Smoudlercone" available to all Abysian gods regardless of magics?

EDIT: 2 to "

[ March 14, 2004, 10:46: Message edited by: Endoperez ]

[Zurai]

Hringhome was a Jotun Neifelheim Son of Neifel with 3 cold, 10 dominion, 6 water IIRC.

Anuvade was a Caelum Virtue with 3 cold, 3 luck 10 dominion, 10 air.

Abogol was an Abyssian Moloch with 3 heat, 3 death, 3 drain, 10 dominion, 10 fire, 6 blood.

All of those were created for the purposes of finding cool pretender titles, not for actually playing the game.

[Ctennyson]

Some of the best titles come on R'lyeh and Ermor pretenders.

although, cranking your scales to -3 eliminates some of the cool + scale titles.

10 dominion + 6+ path/paths = best titles. Scale titles arent that exciting, really, though. So boost the paths, ditch the scales, and reroll till you get one that doesnt have "lady of turmoil" or whatever. =)

With no magic, minimal dominion, and no scales, I got one title: Lord of the Smouldercone. The same thing has happened for Caelum.

>>I got "Norfleet, Lord of Terror, Prince of Darkness, something-or-other-blah-blah-blah", and a bunch of other stuff pertaining to death, disease, mayhem, and other general unpleasantness.>>

Assumably you are messing around, if so, just reroll, after 3-4 tries, you'll get all power titles, with no "Lord of Beggars" etc thrown in.

I just got, "God of Invincible Power, God of Gods, He Who Stole The Fire, Wielder of Every Flame, King of the Banefires, Lord of Death and Destruction" for example.

that was Abyssia, with 10 dom, -3 to every scale, 9 fire, 6 astral, 8 blood, 1 death, or something similar to that. So yeah, Lady of Turmoil, King of Beggars, Lamer of Lamers, all can happen with bad scales, and that sucks, but since these are test cases, unless you are playing Ashen Ermor http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif anyway, just reroll till its ALL cool.

[Gateway103]

The AI sometimes have interesting titles even in Normal difficulty (i.e. no bonus in design point).

Venna, Goddess of Men's Fates, Sky of all the People, Goddess of the East Wind, Lady of Courage (Pythium Virtue, 9A7S)

-Gateway103

[Ctennyson]

LOL!

No, those were just examples =P

[quantum_mechani]

My favorite:
Naggor, Enemy of Reason, The Corn Lord

And that was one I designed for an actual game.

[johan osterman]

Fear the corn.

*Edit: BTW, I don't have any links or anything else to back this up, but I have a recollection of reading several years ago, a reference to an article claiming that a large intake of corn would for some reason serve to make the corn eater slightly more prone to violence. If true the corn lordship does not fit that badly together with enemy of reason.

[ March 19, 2004, 19:04: Message edited by: johan osterman ]

[Duncanish]

Bath Kol, Father of Gods, King of Darkness, Persecutor and Destroyer of Youth, The Lurker in the Crypt, Lord of this World.

[Norfleet]

I don't feel any more prone to violence after a corn binge than before. If anything, I feel less inclined to violence, having a full stomach and all. I can prove that DHMO addiction can make one much more prone to violence, though.

[Catquiet]

Here is The Best Pretender Title Ever (http://www.altermeta.com/?strip_id=4)

[PvK]

I'm about to have to deal with an AI pretender with an impressive title:

Lodvathu, Lord of the North Wind, Father of Ages, Rider of the Clouds, Warrior Against the Sun, the Watcher of the Gallows.

It might do well to add "Liker of the spell Ghost Armada". I just defeated the armada, and he went and cast it again immediately. I notice though that I still have the Admiral's sword.

PvK

[Psitticine]

That explains it! The Admiral wants it back, so he gave them a discount on the casting cost. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[PvK]

Hehe! He may well want it back, and he'll get his chance, but it looks like a new Admiral's Sword is generated each time the admiral is summoned. He came back and was using his sword, but my commander retains a copy of it.

BTW, back on-topic, my pretender going up against the one mentioned before has perhaps a better title:

Thoron, Prince of Suffering, He Who Seals the Gates of Death.

My money's on Thoron.

PvK

[Chazar]

While waiting for an MP-Game to start, I found myself re-creating my Caelum-Virtue in order to get good titles...

Now I've stumbled across this definition in the Online dictionary wikipedia.org: The Goddess can appear as the "Lady of the Ten Thousand Names", as did Isis. Adherents refer to her as 'Queen of Heaven', 'Lady of the Beasts', 'Creatrix' and just 'the Lady.' <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Creatrix sounds cool http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif - so did anyone get that title for a female pretender so far, i.e. is that title included in the game???

[PrinzMegaherz]

Todesbote, God of Gods, King of all Young and growing Things, the hidden One, King of the healing Arts, the God with the Backward Feets

Wait a minute...
Backward feet???

[HotNifeThruButr]

See sig

Edit: Freakin' Jesus! how do I delete double-Posts?

Edit 2: I hope this doesn't create a whole new post like the Last edit, anyways, Mortar Combat is a unit quote from Warcraft 3, the Dwarven Mortar Team, along with other fun quotes like "Burnin' Lootin', Vermin' Shootin'" and "The blood of my people can only be repaid with more blood, like twice as much blood, or three times as much blood! Like if you went to Hell and it was full of blood, and the blood was on fire, and it was raining blood!... but probably not."

And just wait till he gets battle afflictions, and he'll discover that him being the King of the healing Arts doesn't do him any good http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Guess he is a Pretender afterall.

[PvK]

Sounds like a copy of Myth II by Blizzard...

[Endoperez]

Panii and like have feet with knees the other way round. Are you playing with something like that? Lord of the Hunt might have "backward feet", but I'm not sure.

[HotNifeThruButr]

... don't they have hooves?

[PrinzMegaherz]

I'm using a prince of death with pangaea Carrion Woods. I think it is turmoil 3 sloth 3 growth 3 luck 2 magic 2 and Dominion 10 with the points even spend on death and nature

Playing SP against Tien'chi's Manticore: Oligar, Emperor of the Dead, Emperor of Spontaneity, the One Always at the Shoulder.

Heh, Emperor of both the Dead and Spontaneity. Must have a busy schedule. Especially with those who spontaneously die.

This poor god must be very confused, or at least the doctor's best friend(until the doctor gets sick anyway) here's his name:

C'tis desert tombs Prince of death with high death, nature and dominion and great scales.
