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...

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.

Summoning Icedrakes and elementals sounds pretty tough. Maybe if the mages ran a risk of being attacked by something nasty?

Perhaps you could make a Caelum Version of R'lyeh summoning gate? The evercold portal could summon a variety of cold theme creatures with a chance of the mage getting attacked or getting diseased (catching a cold?).

And changing Air to Water will allow them to enter water provinces a lot sooner. Something to keep in mind perhaps.

I want more animal summoning spells.
Claws of winter, 2 nature 1 water 1 air: Summons cold theme beasties.
Waters Call: 3 water 1 nature: Summons water animals like whales, sharks and squids.
Fangs of the Desert, 2 nature 1 earth 1 fire: Summons the likes of snakes, scorpions, camels and vultures.

Perhaps it's because I'm a biologist but an army of animals is too cool to ignore.
