Wuzza? But how come...? I mean, in my game, I thought...

Everything's shifting ...

If it turns out I was non-pharmacologically stoned off my flaw-finding *** when I lost those Seraphines, methinks I shall be sorely disappointed.

On top of that, my viceroy thread's swiftly becoming a general-purpose micromanagement wishlist. Oh, the humanity, the roiling, bubbly humanity.

Hehe, I was actually referring to Zen's wishlist thread.

My one wish (so far).

I would like to be able to recruit the original troop types of a captured fortress. The first time I captured Machaka as Jotunheim, my hope was to produce spider knights. But, no, my Jotuns had completely eradicted the original inhabitants. Gods look for recruits in all shapes and sizes, so I doubt they would view all other races as not being able to contribute. Maybe not be able to recruit another nation's sacred troops, since they are more devout to the deposed god. Different recruits would also increase strategic depth. This could be provided as an option at game start-up.

Thanks,

I think it should be an option, with some types still not available, especially the holy ones. Actually this is sort of how it is now, except that most aren't allowed. I know you can at least get some small hydras out of the Pythian capitol, for example. I'd like to see at least a few units available, at least when an option is selected. Having most/all seems like it should just be optional, though, because in general, wiping out an enemy or occupying their captitol for a while wouldn't mean you could raise armies just like they had done for themselves.

There was a big discussion about this back in the fall IIRC. I was pushing the same idea you are suggesting, but people (inc. devs) thought it would take away from the uniqueness of each race. I can see their point I think - I wouldn't want an uber-nation who had all the best units and magics etc. Each race has its weaknesses, and that's a good thing IMHO.

I Just got the game........Awesome!!

One thing that the game desperately need is a printed Unit Description Guide. Best to do it as a PDF that way if new units are added or deleted you could just sub or add a pages to your already printed copy, nothing fancy, the unit description screen would be perfect
