Yes, but then if you empower it in blood and make it cast a spell, the game crashes.

PvK is talking about creating a new unit. The problem you mention is connected to the existing blood slave, which I imagine is hard-coded to its ID.

This nation calls for a rainbow pretender, because only the nature site searching spell can be cast by default. For everthing else you need a jade sorceress with some very lucky double picking.

That was a joke, Arryn.

The Oynx priestess gets dark knowledge. The Crystal amazons give you air and astral. The Garnets give you blood, and the jades give you nature and water. All they miss natively is fire and earth if you aren't lucky.

Seems you'll have to edit your post one more time, Graeme, since the Crystal witches haven't the requirements to cast Auspex.

The inqusition finds one of it's own guilty. By virtue of this one error, all Posts by Graeme on this topic are now rendered irrelevant.

Sorry. Hard to tell at times with you, with your admittedly half-senile memory and all. hehe

OK, I've played with the Amazon mod for a bit, and I agree that the lack of rainbow gems is really hard on them. And rather unwarranted, considering how rainbow magic focused their army is.

I suggest:

1> Starting magic sites should be "ten thousand things", and "catacombs" at the least. For flavor, they should probably also have a "damned merchant" - although that's really not important.

2> What the hell is up with the price of the Amazon Leader? She costs as much gold as a Jade, Garnet, or Crystal Priestess (and more resources). She isn't a preacher, she doesn't have two paths of magic, and she can't even lead more troops. It's not like she can make a super combatant or anything, so she's just horribly over priced. The bulge she has over a 30 gold commander from an adjacent province is virtually nothing (even the reduced upkeep from sacred isn't really a reduction, because her base cost is more than twice as much) - she should have a lot more leadership or cost a lot less, maybe both.

Other than that, this mod is really cool, thanks for putting it up.
