12th july
* Some additonal icons made.
* Some more animal names.
* Ko-Oni popytpe added.
* Fir Bolg popytpe added.
* Indep undead apes

Does this mean we might see undead bandar if we Raise Dead from a Bandar province? Sweet!

"Look. An undead monkey."

All the monkey nations got the new "Summon Vetala" spell when Lanka was added, I think. Bandar Log has it for sure. So, you don't even have to wait for the new patch, to see undead monkeys. Hopefully any independent undead apes from Raise Dead won't be Vetalas (Possessed Corpses) though, they are nasty!

Npoe. It means some provinces with undeads have pisachas instead of ghouls or soulless. Poptype is still the same as in other undead provinces - crap slingers.

And reanimation is based on tha casters nation, not on province.

If we could MOD a list of our own poptypes without changing existing units the games would become more unique. Another idea is making the change of poptypes available with a map edit command.

Yup. That's up to JK. I have no idea of how much programming it would take. But generally I believe he is more inclined to add mod functions than changes in the game.

Regarding new icons, it would be a good thing to have an icon for communions which displays the boost to the magic levels, I think. For the masters and slaves, that you see how big their current boost to the magic levels due to the communions is.

thejeff · #7 July 15th, 2007, 10:44 AM

The slaves level is raised for the purpose of fatigue. Is it raised for casting their own spells? (Assuming the master is not casting this round. Or casts after this slave.) That could make communions even more powerful.

If not simply showing the boost to magic levels would be confusing. It would make sense for the master, but a slave icon would be better for the slaves.

I would assume slaves don't share fatigue from spells cast by other slaves?

That's exactly what I mean with the communion icons thing. I don't suppose the slaves have any boost to their magic levels for casting without the communion, that wouldn't make sense.
