Conceptual Content Mod

[Zeldor]

We could add many magic/holy spells. For example Holy Light [H+F] giving darkvision 50 [or at least 25] to entire army.

MA TC has some crappy summons [for example that Huli Jing]. Maybe they got better with CBM, but vanilla ones are utter crap. I hope summons here do not become like that. And if that mods is for vanilla and we make lower level summons good [especially compared to other ones] it may be really strange. So adding summonable mages/SCs may be easier to balance for standalone mod, not a part of CBM.

I can sit with encyclopedy of mythology and find summons for many nations, I guess Though someone else would have to do stats.

What does Huli Jing summon, again? Shapechanging Nature mage or something?

[Zeldor]

Shapechanging [into fox] stealthy mage.

P.S. Done some tests - it seems it has some decent randoms. Tested with CBM but I doubt QM changed that. Seems that 3N is basic. I have no idea what other randoms are, but I got things like just 3N; 3N2W2A; 3N1W2S; 3N1A1E. IT doesn't really help or fit TC really though.

[Sombre]

The mod will be designed to work with CBM and will use it as a balancing stick. Of course it will also work with basegame.

So,.. how about some suggestions for new recruitable troops? Remember we're talking MA only right now.

I'm very tempted to do a bog beast cavalry unit for MA Ctis.

[llamabeast]

Maybe you should do a bog beast unit for each nation.

[VedalkenBear]

New recruitable troops? As in, national and non-commander? Non-joke?

Abysia: Fire Drake-riders, a la LA Agartha's Cave Drake Knights.

Eriu: Glamered Slingers.

Any nation that uses Mammoths/Elephants: Some other form of early expansion. It gets old. ><

Marignon: Fire-resistant 'Guardian of the House of Justice' or maybe 'Justiciars'.

Pythium: Is there any way to make a _unit_ that gains bonuses from a communion but otherwise does not affect that communion? IOW, have a 'shieldwall' unit for Pythium that when the Communion Master gains Body Ethereal/Luck/Quickness, they also get, but it doesn't pump the Master's paths?

Machaka: A sacred troop that costs <100g. Poison Resistance would probably be the way to go. Perhaps give them a weapon that has a secondary effect of webbing the target? Hrm, basically sacred Bane Spider troops, it seems.

Caelum: A hybrid melee/ranged unit. That way, they could use hold/attack much better, and leverage the good precision Caelum gets on most of its units.

Ermor: Cataphract of some kind? Cf. Nightmare for inspiration.

I'm sure I'll think of more.
