Oceania - Let's fix it. Mod discussion

[BandarLover]

Aaawwww...so no possibility of human head hunters helping them out on land? You could take a page from Sombre and have a national summon spell that summons a Dema chieftain, who can then be set to summon allies for Dema troops, maybe?

I just don't see how headhunters are at all thematic for Oceania.
MUCH more appropriate for machaka.

I would love to give the melqarts ability to eat commanders to machaka sorcerers. I wouldn't makeit gluttonous. But occasionally it *would* result in magic increases.

I wonder if you copied the melqart and just redid all his stats, fixed gluttony and unrest if you could retain the eat commander function.

I also wonder if they just said.. if gluttony > x then there is a possibility of eating a commander....

Another interesting thing would be to allow a headhunter unit which starts with a shrunken head miscellaneous item.

In combat the head would animate ala carcator.

Burnsaber's reasoning earlier in the thread worked well for me.

I like that - could it be done as a #onebattlespell combat summon?

Oh cool!!!!!

In a way a personal totem!
Make it a national spell, as well as a #onebattle.

Animated head: ?1 {B/D} with a one path bonus.
The animated heads whisper totemic advice: Autocast Bloodslave

It would ALSO be cool if there were various totemic spirits

progressively stronger
Ravenous Wolf
Bear of Sloth
Archer of Dusk (human)
Mage of Despair
Nightmare of Terror....
Demon
Etc.

they are all called Totem; they all disappear after a fight.
However, since they are all called the same, each summons gets a progressively stronger totem.

I liiike it!!!!
