> "The Scorpion Man is the most frightening beast that wanders in the desert. It is said that when a Scorpion Man looks at a mountain, the mountain shivers in fear."

Hmm, that sounds like an old description. I'd better take a look.

It's the spell's desription.

Aha. I guess the Gilgamesh reference is lost in the spell then. Pity.

Mmm, Gilgamesh, Enkidu, Babylonian or was it Sumerian mythology? ( Weren't Babylonian & Mithraism based on Sumerian? )

Hmmm. Was the Visitor the spell that had a Gilgamesh reference? Only one I noticed that might've been it, but that concept comes up pretty often in legend/myth/SF.

I don't know about the myth, but I thought the spell in question was Scorpion Men.

Thanks, Meglobob! One Devourer of Souls coming in!

All the JPG screenshots lose surprising amount of detail. You did notice when I claimed that the image size had been doubled again, didn't you? All the fantastic sprites like this one are the reason.
EDIT:
In case someone DIDN'T notice, the resolution has stayed the same. The units look much better, but the tools haven't changed. That means we've got one extremely talented artist working for the game!

Wow! I am currently playing C'tis (my favourite nation so far), my god needs a pet, the devourer would do nicely. I think I would call him 'fluffy', then again, perhaps not... :grin

Cheers.

Sorry, but that is Devourer of Souls. Fluffy is a Destroyer of Worlds.

Show uuuuus, or I will post eldritch horrors on this thread.
