Sounds fun! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Did I ever mention I would be honored to count you amongst my friends on this forum? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

(This sudden declaration obviously has nothing to do with any allaged love I might cherish over drawer-inhabiting monkies)

Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
 

Why, thankyou Amhazair! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Your monkeys will be arriving soon.

Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
 

With wings of emerald feathers they come flittering down from the skies, noicy and chittering, to rip you from the ground. In the distance an ominious voice can be heard: 'Fly, my little ones'. And you are off to meet the latin american beast of legend and the villains besieging his castle.

Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
 

Interesting, Kristoffer. What should one google to find what you're referring to?

Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
 

Winged monkies. But google probably wont say anything. I imagine Mr Burns says 'fly my little ones' to his monkies, but that might be wrong.

Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
 

Mr. Burns: (To Homer) One more thing...you must find the Jade Monkey before the next full moon!
Smithers: Actually sir, we found the jade monkey. It was in your glove compartment.
Mr. Burns: And the road maps, and the driving gloves?!
Smithers: Yes, sir.
Mr. Burns:Then its all falling into place.

There is a group on Facebook which says that if the group gets 10000 members, the guy will call his son "Spider Pig" (using the power of Facebook to overrule his wife). It's on something like 9500 members now.

Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
 

It sounds like the one where the guy uses facebook to call his kid 'danger'

Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
 

South America provides all sorts of fun and interesting animals. Google is great for this.

One of my favorites is the terrible Ground Sloth, which regularly rends gringo tourists limb from limb with it's foot-long claws. It stands 12 feet tall and has an awful smell, and it's said it's lantern-like eyes can pierce your very soul...with black magic lazer beams. It can take the shape of a headless man in the light of a crescent moon, it knows whether Elvis is alive or dead, and it plays poker on every third Saturday with El Chupacabra and the Jersey Devil.

Well, ok, not exactly, but a few of the more...er...intense cryptozoologists seem to think ground sloths are a reality. Or atleast that's what they're likening the hazy descriptions of some kind of "skunk ape" to.

Might be fun to fit them into the game somewhere with one of the Mictlans.

South America is also rumored to have dinosaurs, vast snakes that live in waterfalls, various rainforest tribes who have never seen a white man before-and probably wouldn't care to, and the aforementioned El Chupacabra. There's really an immense amount of supernatural and paranormal material to draw from-enough to take any of the Mictlans in any direction desired, and with room left over for a whole 'nother set of nations.

There's even lost cities who's existence has actually been proven-as far as it goes-with satellite photography, but they're so far into the jungle that they've never been explored.

You have heard of vampire gourds, right?
I have read a more detailed source, but this is all I can find at the moment.
http://www.connpost.com/charleswalsh/ci_4360500$
An entertaining webcomic that features them
http://www.graphicsmash.com/comics/digger.php
http://www.graphicsmash.com/comics/d...5028&mpe=1
Though most is subscription only... though not pricy...

I'm not sure where vampire gourds would fit in... they certainly wouldn't have any attack value to speak of, but it would be an entertaining addition to LA Ermor that provides chaff. I need to mod em in.

Even though they may hunger for blood, vampire pumpkins still don't have teeth. Beware bruised shins.

Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
 

Mictlan with a level 0-2 blood summoning or assassination spell for a slave or two would be fun. As you probably know already, the word chupacabra translates into "goat sucker". Reason enough to add it, I say!

A size 1 assassin with perhaps a single misc slot to avoid thugging, rotten stats apart from a medium-high defense, useless for anything but taking out enemy priests. Not a demon (Or they'd die in the first round of combat against indy priests, their only targets.), but perhaps brought about due to "the taint of blood magic on the land" or something like that, which would also help explain why you can control them with blood. Might actually be handy to support your first demons, but probably just fun.

Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
 

Wouldn't that be:
"...slowly rends gringo tourists limb from limb..."

Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
 

Well...well, that's even worse, now, isn't it? If you think about it?

Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
 

Sounds interesting. Nice writeup.

But if I can convince him to loosen the reins on Lord of Night (let more than just EA Mictlan have it) then they will get the #1 unbeatable choice for assassin in the whole game.

Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
 

I've always wondered why you were so into the Lord of the Night. I just now realized that he not only has flying, but stealth!? I regret not choosing him in the game I'm playing EA Mictlan. He's not as easy to get a huge bless on, but he more than makes up for it with his mobility.

Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
 

And he is already an assassin. A Titan-sized, flying, dominion boosted, help summoning, stealth/assassin with all slots. Its hard to think of anything better as an assassin.

Oh yeah, and he has leadership. Give him some flying bodyguards just in case he gets spotted.

Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
 

And he's an assassin without having to get a black heart!?
Man...

Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
 

Sort of a waste using him as an assassin though.

Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
 

Yes and no. It'd be a waste to put a black heart on him to be an assassin, but having the option without taking up the slot is always nice.

Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
 

Id much rather use him as an assassin than a thug or SC. Sure its shaky to use your god as an assassin but it must have some benefits as an unexpected tactic.

Plus a flying assassin is always nice because it can quickly shift from what its doing to an area you are having problems with.

Plus flying-stealth means he can shoot up ahead of your frontlines to soften up a spot. Or shift randomly around an enemys backside creating havoc until you think he has started using PD against you.

If I remember correctly you can even fly him back into strong domain to boost his stats, then quickly move him somewhere for a hard attack, then back into domain for recuperating again. Always nice to have an assassin with a few hundred hit points.

Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
 

Yess'um, the stats for a God are calculated based on the territory they attack from.

Re: Some notes on MA Mictlan update
 

Right. I forgot that. So it has to be an attack-type attack. Not going there for assassination. There is no "moveand assassinate". (hmmmm that would be sweet, really speed up assassinations)
