Agartha. They've got three different Oracles. Oracle of Subterranean Waters has W where Oracle of Subterranean Fires has F, and Oracle of the Dead has D where they'd have F or W. All cost 400 gp and are limited to the capital.

100% FE random, 10% FE random. These change too.

Also relating to yesterday's game, I remembered something about troll women seducing men in Scandinavian mythology and found this. Might make a cool unit for Van/Jotun, if it hasn't been added already.

Helheim's Hangadrott is 400 gp, Vanadrott just 380. Vanadrott has A3B1H2 and 110% randoms while Hangadrott has D3A2H2 110% randoms. Both randoms are AEDB, BTW.

Ah, but troll women aren't like troll men - they look like beautiful human women, only they come equipped with tails. The children they have are ugly, though, so they steal human babies and leave their own offspring as changelings. Neat, yeah?

That's nothing. Imagine an Earth Mother named after someone's nick... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif Ugh! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif

Other than that, Johanna Sinisalo has written one of the most fascinating Finnish fantasy books where Trolls make a comeback. It's like Bandar Log in the North. It's awesome book. Not scary, but very, very weird. Few things might give you few unwholesome mental images. Nothing as bad as the Great Mother, though... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif

Nope. In the two recent blitzes, I was just Devourer of Apples the Herbivore Manticore and The Great Rouge Hunter the Blood Fountain. The latter wasn't that great a hunter, though: hunted maybe 4 turns in the game, and half the time, caught nothing.

Here's the new Niefel Jarl. They haven't changed much, but Water now increases defense, shields are now different (and Ice Aegis is very good now), etc. Breath of Winter doesn't is now just a chill, though, so it's both loss and gain. They have 110% AWD random.

Hey, I had to choose a nick that suits my nation, and Endoperez is hard to change into anything... I played Pangaea, so I tried different variation of paleocene and eocene etc, but couldn't come up with anything. Then I became EmppuTheReveler. Devourer of Apples came easily from that.

Decent is modest. Look at that Protection stat, the good Attack, Defense, Morale, and Magic Resistance... Really, this guy is a Swiss Army Knife. He can do a bit of everything.

Nerfix said:And he can cast both Banefire and Magma Eruption. And Earthpower. And protection spell. And various death spells.

These spells include Invulnerability, Fire Shield and Soul Vortex, and he's sacred and can bless himself too. Surely you all have already realized this. Those two 50% resistances help, too. The poison resistance lets him cast Invulnerability and be just 50% suspectable to Poison, and they and few cheaper Yomi mages have Air randoms so they can get Rings of Tamed Lightning as well to use Ironskin. No access to cold resistance, though.

Their body protection is 23, but natural armor just 10 (8 +2 from Earth), so their head armor is only 10... Crossbowmen and even occassional bowmen can get lucky, and feeble-mindedness is as evil as ever, and Yomi gets just 1 Earth gem/turn. You need luck to make enough helmets for them! That, or find some Earth sites, or research Construction for other types of helmets. Not that those are necessarily worse options, mind you.

BTW, I had nice luck in my test game. +20 hp and +5 str thanks to Heroic Obesity! Not bad for turn 2, eh? The +3 Enc hurts, but not this early. He needs lighter armor before he can cast boost spells, though. Or perhaps Earthpower.

As SC he is difficult to use though. Fatigue is a rather big problem with all the nice buffs he can cast. 9 spell casting encumberance. The problem is the heavy samurai armor with 4 encumberance. You have to try to get rid of it asap http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

I was trying to get my Heroically Obese Dai Oni killed, but the best I could do was 4 hp. Those hp keep coming really fast! +37 hp now, maybe 5 turns later, and +9 strength. The latest try was against Ichtyids - during this fight I noticed that they had morale of just 6 or 8 or 7. I tested it few times, and the only solution I could come up with was that effects of Fear aura are visible. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

That's SO cool! Just being around Fear +4 unit lowers Ichtyids' morale of 12 so much! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif I'm definitely going to try Fear/Awe combinations!

EDIT: OMG Virtue with Dominion 10 starts with Awe +7! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

In other news, Death doesn't give automatic Fear any more so I'll have to get innovative... Hmm...
