View Full Version : The Beavers

I'd like to solicit the assistance of some hard core modders. I think as a patriotic Canuck there should a beaver nation in Dominions.

There are some critical features:
1) Beavers are furry.
2) Beavers are best found in swampy bogs.
3) Skilled beaver hunters know that careful application of barley beverages can add in the hunt.
4) Beavers are fickle. Do not rush your beaver hunt. Take the time to scout out the territory. Perhaps a slow perusal of the terrain may assist in reaching beaver central.
5) Beavers have a bonus to resist penetration. Only a skilled hunter will successfully penetrate beavers on a regular basis.

There may be more features, but I need time to consider.

Psionic Brain-Sucking Bog Beast Beavers?

To be followed by a patriotic creation of a nation of Eagles, then a nation of Bears?

Nah, beavers would be too over powered.

4 doesn't make sense. Clearly you have contradicted yourself and do not actually understand 'beavers.'

Someone buy BigDaddy a clue. And Gandalf.

The obvious next nation is puppies, anyone can see that. Preferably wrapped in warm garments.

Unfortunately, the first thing the beaver nation would do would be to tell us to stop playing computer games, and because they are totally OP (good call Sir D), we'd listen, and no more modding work would get done.

Maer - please stop drinking and posting at the same time. You're being a danger not only for yourself but also for other people.

Heck, we definitely need a PSA for this.

Stop drinking and posting at the same time? Blasphemy! It would go against all I have taught him.

How so? As a skilled beaver hunter, Maerlande could probably add a thing or two about the taste of beavers.

Puppies? What nation is represented by puppies? Vatican City? Gibraltar?

Hey Amonchakad,

But I'm doing SOO much better. No baiting, no name calling, no profanity. This one is just nice clean fun. And even pretty much SFW.

I'm practicing my Drinking and Posting skillzz.

Maybe I just realize that there are domesticated beavers... but, certainly, the feral ones -should- require a lot less scouting, and, it is likely, will let you continue to mod, even if they complain about it... If you really like modding, afterall, the beavers really should have no problem with that ultimately, and it is likely that they will learn to regret their feral nature, and thus scouting requirments should decrease greatly. You still have to be nice to them of course...

This nation should really get a national Cougar summon, with Seduction ability and a claw attack that does half damage against units with Old Age.

And it should also get an automatic domsummon that increases with Growth scales.

THAT might be an interesting unit to the game.

I wonder what features the Clue Bat could have (that the game actually supports). Fortune teller? Maybe an extended flight distance with high stealth and spy ability?

It could have an attack that does double damage against Feebleminded units. Is that supported?

Fortune teller - surely. Awe, probably. As an effect of its usage on poor clueless one should be just that. Maybe fear - for those still clueless.
And then probably either patrol bonus or dowser... I don't know.

Yes!!! How could i forgot??
It's not supported for now. But we can ask developers. And ask them again. And again... :)
