[Teraswaerto]

Someone know what is wrong with this?

#newspell
#copy "Unholy Blessing"
#school -2
#researchlevel 32
#end

It no work.

National spells are not in yet. And what is #researchlevel 32?

[Teraswaerto]

Not in yet huh? Serves me right for not paying attention.

According to the mod manual, #researchlevel 32 is supposed to assign the spell to nation number 32, though maybe I'm reading it wrong.

While I like the general concept of your mod, I must also say that it annoy me to see marignon with an undead theme (or almost undead) : In dom2 (less in dom3), there was a concept behind marignon that was : "anything to keep undeath at bay", or in other words : "Ermor : not with us". This is what gave birth first to the inquisition, and later to the blood cult (using blood to fight one evil magic with another). In dom3 the notion of blood magic as a way to fight undeads is no more present, what a pity.

With this idea, marignon is a nation that can fall to be the worst, but there should be one thing that they never do : let the undeads rise, *even if it means to let something worse happen*.

I would like the concept more if it was a mod for Ulm (in fact it would do well with the malediction), or if it wasn't about undeads but instead strange experimentations (something more like blood magic, such as special cross-breeding to create superior/immortal soldiers in order to fight undeads)

[Teraswaerto]

The inquisition is evil, and to move from one kind of evil to another is not that great a leap. I try to explain the concept in the mod description (and in the first post of this thread). The abyss gazes also, etc.

I'm currently thinking I'll change things a bit though, by removing undead tags from all true Twiceborn, so only the Shunned One's would be undead. It would be nice to be able to mod your own tags, but that's not possible now (if ever).

Jack Trowell and I see eye to eye on this one. I totally agree about immortal, probably mindless, supersoldiers in there. If it can be balanced out, pitting a handful of stunningly expensive immortal units against the unending legions of dead ala Ermor could be really interesting. In the end, it would come down to who could spread dominion more efficiently, while in the background enormous battles would be going on. My initial thought is that the "supersoldiers" could be some kind of Formless (obviously, I'm referencing X-files a bit here), the hideous experiments of Marignon actually causing their victims to transcend physical structure and become something along the lines of Gibbering Mouthers.

Naturally, immortal units would be hard to balance out, but I think it could be done.
