Bandar Log reincarnation

How it works?

[llamabeast]

Is a mystery to me.

[Dedas]

When the guru/yogi dies of old age it becomes one with your dominion. In game terms that means you get a permanent +1 in dominion. I'm not sure on the details though.

If I remember correctly there is a bug in the text message that appears when the subject dies. Instead of the name and location (?) it displays nonsense.

Don't quote me on any of this though...

[Argitoth]

+1 dominion for one death? might as well choose 1 dominion to start out with and suicide 9. that's really cheap.

[ComTrav]

It wouldn't QUITE work to suicide 9, because it sounds like it needs to be death of old age.

[chrispedersen]

even so that sounds real interesting combined with a Burden of Time. Real interesting. Does anyone have an idea on the mechanism?

would it be like a temple spread, a pretender spread or ....

[Dedas]

Yes, as I wrote above I'm quite sure they need to die of old age.

I knew I've read it somewhere faaar back, somehow it stuck. It took some digging but here is the quote:


Kristoffer O said:
> I don't think the White Ones reincarnation has any game-play effects (like getting a free unit or something). I like to think that being reincarnated as a Markata is what happens to a Guru if they didn't lead a good enough life though

Of course it has an effect (unless some bug has appeared). The white one might reincarnate, in name and body (although the body might be a lesser or greater one, dependent on the karma of the white one). Or become one with the awakening god, increasing dominion.

I've had white apes come back as minor sacreds and low level priests when they died in combat. Anyone had them come back as better than that?

[Endoperez]

"Increasing dominion" would probably mean "dominion is increased in the province" instead of permanent increase in the dominion spread mechanics. If that's your only source, Dedas, I very much doubt the guru death works as you said it would.

Also:

29th sep
* Version 3.10
* Guru reincarnation bug fixed.

I think the '[][][][][][][] has been reincarnated' bug has been fixed.

[Dedas]

You might be right, Endoperez, although it sounds a little weak.

And yes, as I wrote above I have very little information so that means I'm mostly just guessing.

The more experienced the guru, the more formidable his reincarnation when he dies. I am not sure what the message "he has become with the God's dominion means." If anyone knows, I would appreciate the tip.
