Any changes in crossbreeding?

Hi Dfan

No changes atm. I'm susceptible to eldrich tunes though. Play on your bone flutes I might conjure a blasphemous ettin.

What would be nice would be a commander spawn.

Oooh, that would be *very* nice. It wouldn't have to be even much diffrent...it could result in those lil' freaks with commander skills, or maybe you would get a "Gifted Freak" with 1 random magic, oreven a thug-suitable commander.

EDIT: I don't think it would be overwhelmingly hard to do either...

I found the spell semi useful for armies where the other guy had me all matched up. Exactly the right units to counter my units. Tossing in a large batch of the random attacks/defenses that come up on crossbreeding tended to mop up such a well thought-out army.

Now I definetly wouldnt mind abit more of that. Some creative new units with surprising new abilities. If they are too powerful then just have them show up less often. But I definetly found it useful at times to get everything from fodder to amphib to drainer in a nice mess that I could assign around. Some small flyers wouldnt hurt. And maybe a couple of sneaks.

Fliers, sneakers and maybe bit more amphibs would be nice too.

Maybe a couple more robust creatures too?

Foul Spawn should get an extra tentacle for each luck scale.

*Insert joke about people who consider multi-tentacled monsters "lucky".*

I'd like to see few of them being commanders, myself. A small chance for any given crossbred creature being commander could give some interesting options. If Cave Drakes with Flying Carpets can be the bast of a thug-team...

Yeah, I always wanted to see some huge horrific creature from crossbreeding. Give it a 5% chance to appear maybe? Also there should be 1 better unit then ettin as a "normal" crossbreeding unit, maybe with a 10-15% chance to appear with the highest luck scale?

Why not just add more powerful but rare creatures, and make all the rare creatures a little more common? It'd be boring to get one unit, even a good one, too often.

I'd like to see more Blood/Earth spells, and Sandman's idea sounds interesting. It could probably be made as a mod that replaces all Crossbred monsters with half-machines, even in DomII, but a new spell would be nice.
