The point of going blood-4 isn't the summons, it's for Flood of Snakes--by the way, did you mean to have that spell be free? It's extraordinarily brutal to start spamming it year one. It can take down anything that doesn't have archer support. Two casts can take down a knight or elephant province, or most castles' province defence. Try out getting an awake sage and blitzing to blood 4, it's a lot of fun. By early winter year one you get an expansion army every time you make one or two priests of sotek(and a scout or indy commander to capture the provinces).

No, obviously not -sigh-

I tested it before and it was working fine, guess I somehow messed up the fatigue cost since then. Ah I see, I retyped it at one point and typoed fatigue.

I will fix that shortly. But I will wait a couple days before I upload another version, in case anyone spots other bugs to fix. Otherwise this is just going to get ridiculous.

In the meantime you can go into the dm file using a text editor, find "Flood of serpents" then manually replace the typo of fatiguecost with the correct spelling. The cost will then be 10 slaves.

Tail spines is still a melee attack.

I've been thinking... and I know this would be a radical shift from how the lizardmen play now, so it could be difficult to balance, but it just does not seem thematic that temple guard can become as numerous as they can. Basically right now, temple guard are THE unit that itza makes. Well, them and priests. But 90% of the time if you're recruiting a soldier it will be a temple guard. Since the temple guard is supposed to be the rarest of spawnings I am not certain that they should be recruit everywhere sacreds. Actually, what do you think of making all slann auto or domsummon them instead, with no recruitables? You could remove the price tag on them so they wouldn't cause upkeep issues.

Anyway it's just an idea. I see all these great units in my recruitment roster but I know unless I'm in dire need of extra units I'll never recruit them because temple guard are just that good.

That sounds like an amazing idea, but very hard to balance. It would definitely change the flavor of the whole nation, making them much more slann-centric.
