CherryMod Thread

[Saber Cherry]

Sorry, no site modding yet

This thread is just a compilation of what I plan to add when it is possible. However:

1) Some of it will never be possible unless the stuff is explicitly supported in the game code, at which point it really wouldn't be a 3rd party mod anymore.
2) Illwinter is more than welcome to snag anything in this thread and add it (or support for it) to Dominions II

P.S. More alterations:

Satyrs get 2 natural protection.

Celestial Warriors changed from AAS to AWS.

Full Scale Mail gets +1 def (to -2). It's REALLY bad otherwise.
TC Full Leather Armor units get Full Linen Armor. Stats:
name=Full_Leather_Armor aprot=6 def=-1 enc=1 res=3
name=Full_Linen_Armor aprot=6 enc=1 res=4 new=1

Vanheim Fay Boar made sacred. Does anyone actually use them? There's no reason they should demand so much gold=)

Lorica Segmentata increased from 10 resources to 11 resources.

Ctis Falchioneer given ambidextrous 3, not 2.

Thoughts:
Should Ulm be given +1 strength?
Should Ulm Sappers get +1 HP?

Awww=( Maybe I should give Celestial Masters 2 randoms... or a random and an elemental random... and reduce water by 1. I'm not really sure why they have water anyway.

[Kristoffer O]

The Celestial Masters are based upon the taoistic T'ien Shih (celestial masters), leaders of the taoistic cult during certain times. An important concept in taoism is wu wei (inaction/not doing).

Water being yielding and changing is the closest representation of wu wei I could come up with.

Also water, according to Lao Tzu, is 'of all things most yielding and can overwhelm [rock] which is of all things most hard' (43)

Uhm, why not just change the 2 Air Req to 2 Water? As that is the closest representation you could find, and the Astral is "Celestial"?

Or maybe change it to "Holy 3" ? This would limit it *Only* to CM's, no pretenders or anything could summon the Soldiers.

Just a few thoughts.

I doubt holy can be a requirement...
Anyway- I think I'll change it to 1 air, 1 astral. I would go 1 air, 2 water, but I think that would force water gems to be used when casting.

Additional change:

Vanheim: All Vanheim troops get 25% cold resistance. They should have learned how to dress warmly, and evolved higher metabolisms, and so forth...

Atlantis:
Additional unit, "Shark Warrior".
Base: Atlantian, Weapon: Sharktooth Mace, Equipment: Sharkskin Armor, Turtle Shell Shield

Sharktooth Mace: A mace carved from the jawbone of a large shark, retaining the rows of razor-sharp teeth.
dam=5 att=1 res=3 (no poison damage)

Sharkskin Hauberk: A hauberk made from the rough hide of a large shark.
aprot=5 enc=1 res=3

Machaka: Added "Machaka Raider".
Base unit: Machakan Raider (Same stats as a Machakan, except: stealthy, 13 base AP, 11 morale, 11 gold)
Equipment: Spear, Shortbow, Hide Shield

Added "Raiding Party Leader"
Base Unit: Same as Machaka Raider, but 25 gold, 10 leadership, and +1 att, def, mrl, and stealthy 5.

Unarmored satyrs: Need to be cheaper. I'll adjust all satyr costs - maybe 7 gold minimum. Harpies may need cheapening too, but probably not.

New Theme:

"Caelian Ice Age"
Polar bears, sabertooth cats, and killer whales (underwater only - summoning spell). Possibly Snow Golems (special Caelum spell). Caelum's affinity would change from air to water, and the archers would be given ice arrows.

New Capitol special site, The Evergrowing Glacier: Water Mage may Enter to Summon Ice Elementals (size 3).
New Capitol special site, Ice Cave: Ice Drake may be recuited here.
