As long as needed for you to play with utrum and neutrum as easily as a true native!

According to my brother Utrum should be a new Doom Horror. Slurping brainy juices from the minds of linguists I suppose.

True - how about a "Create (random) Artifact" spell then? Somewhat like Wish - Construction 9, lots and lots of gems going in, and out pops a unique item. It might be bad, it might usually be a waste of the gems - but it might be great. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

A la Scrolls of artifact creation from various rogue-like games.

That is a really neat idea Cainehill. Maybe it would have a high base cost of gems and allow you to add any combination of extra gems to influence the type/quality of the result. I have always enjoyed games that give you a random element to them and ones with surprises, even if some bad.

Re: [I wish...]
 

It's a cool idea, but I'm inclined to believe randomality in turn based games should be kept to a minimum. It's about one's strategy, not a roll of the dice. This sort of spell should be potentially useful as a Last-ditch resort, but downright stupid if one is not far, far ahead or behind all the other nations.
Furthermore, there'd better be a damn convincing thematic rationale involved. Half the point of Dom 2 is the style.
