Any volunteers to make a sprite of a ice imp? Basically the same as the fire imp but one that looks like an imp with 100 percent cr?

My tentative Epic Hero for a top secret(lol) cold race with blood magic is going to have a dominion summon of cold imps.

There may also be another treat involving them that he gets as an ability.

jutetrea: If you don't want the arm to ever be healed, simply selecting to only have one arm slot would be sufficient, I should think.

This of course immediately got me to thinking of Tyr. Hmm, the possibilities.

I am glad to hear some thoughts on some of the races.

I have zero thoughts on Tien Chi or shin. zero ideas. So the
stuff on Tien Chi is good.

I was intending to add an "Ascended Master" as a national spell for T'ien Ch'i - it would make sense if these guys also appeared as multiheroes.

The spell is a national version of Mummification (same effect #) - except that it calls back a dead official from his post in the celestiral officialdom to serve at the side of the awakening God. Costs a pile of astral pearls (will finish balancing it when the next patch comes out.)

He's size 3, he has approximately the stat-line of a celestial servant but obviously no rake. He's Sacred, and he's further +1 to all magic paths (as a multihero, I suppose he'd have the same magic as a MA Celestial Master, before the +1). Not sure if he'd be balanced as a multihero at that rate - getting a W4 caster a LA T'ien Ch'i could be pretty crazy.

Exact same thing for me and the black phoenix images I posted earlier.

Dr. if you want to try adding that as a tien chi epic hero,
that would be cool. The epic hero starts the game, and he can be very tough, and have huge mid game potential as a thug.

The limitation is that he not be able to take provinces solo at the start of the game without great risk of death.

If there is more than 1 submission for a particular race, we will use diplomacy and try and resolve it to everyone's satisfaction.

In the case of 2 fairly even submissions, maybe we can let Kristopher judge! I do plan on actually doing the work in creating the heroes(unless someone wants to make their own).

I am not doing sprites though, and am asking for volunteers to aid with those. If you want your own personal flavor to the hero, you should write his descr. and his stats. While i am willing to it, and do not mind doing it, I would think the descr. and stats are what would make the hero "personal" to you.

For this mod, every single hero that is not my own invention will be credited in a separate readme file, and also in the start of the mod to the person that created them. The same with the banner created by foodstamp, and any sprites that are done.

That way if any of the heroes or sprites are used in dom iv
you could get your well deserved recognition.

Hmm. Do we even _have_ a Mahayana Buddhist nation? If so, a Boddhisatva multihero would be _excellent_.

Maybe I should get to work on that Classical Japanese mod to have this... probably would be Air/Astral...

Is there a way to have a Hero Cast "Battleshout?" It would have the same effect as fanaticism but I do not want to give the hero any magical paths or priestly abilities.

Sort of an innate ability of a good leader in combat to inspire his troops. I am aware, of course, of a battle standard. But I wanted the fanaticism effect.

I *believe* that the internal code supports autospells which are cast at the start of combat (for example, the Goat Sun's ability to cast Heat from Hell every battle.)

However, you can't currently access it through mod script, and I'm not sure if the internal code supports persistent instant spells (Fanatacism, Army of Gold) or only battlefield enchantments (Heat from Hell, Storm.)

I believe that the artifact luck sword (forget the name) actually gives all of your units luck, rather than putting up an enchantment that makes them lucky. That's an item but I'd expect that the internal code supports the same thing on units.

Anyway, it's in the modders wishlist, you could second the request if you wanted.
