Mod: Gaea, Cradle of Forests (3.08 compatible)

Dang. And here I was looking forward to hot pixel on pixel action.

It seems a bit odd too, what with all the male gods seducing women in mythology. Swans and streams and bulls oh my!

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Well, then, it looks look I should try modding Belial, and renaming him Hermaphrodite.

Seriously, though. Do charm and Dominate Monster abilities work from stealth? Or is seduction the only option for that, and changing the gender of the unit doesn't enable the proper seduction.

Unseriously, though, I just wanted to get in that joke since that comment by Sombre. Greek mythology would be right at home on modern day soap operas. Homer's Odyssey would be right at home on Jerry Springer

"My husband cheated on me with a nymphomaniac." wife w/regards to Calypso.
Etc. Etc.

This nation is all about getting moving magical commanders, right? On turn 3, my first nymph seduces Jaguar Tribe shaman (with fire random, so he's N1F1 !), but on the same turn I get two random events, which give me N2 animist and A1S1N1 Lore Master.

Also my pretender is a lich, who also can ferry troops. So I've got 4 moving magic commanders at turn 3!

You got very lucky indeed . I usually grab a few mundane commanders and lead around some forest zealots until I can acquire magic commanders. I focus on conjuration and soon I have Firbolg commanders because I normally take Pangaeaish scales for this nation, Magic 3, luck 3, turmoil 3, sloth 3 etc.

@Gandalf

Originally the bug annoyed me, but after playing against the nation in dozens of games, the bug allows the AI to use the nation at a level equal to the vanilla nations in the game. Sometimes Gaea loses early as an AI (If the starting Ancient dies early), sometimes it is middle of the pack, and sometimes it dominates.

[Gandalf Parker]

Usually when a nation dies early I find that its due to the game making really crappy pretender and scale choices (ex; Mictlan). Creating a pretender and scales for Gaia would probably help alot.

I can attest to Gandalf's post. In an SP game of mine, I created the pretender for Gaea and then turned it to AI. The starting Ancient was turned into a prophet and began soloing providences like crazy!! Was prolly the first scary Normal AI nation I'd faced.
