Yes, this would work fine. I didn't consider that before.

Ha my editing ninja'd you, or the reverse... it's all madness in this thread.

Rdonj: regarding non-markata. You need someone to forge gear for all those markata thugs!

Re: Markata Madness, all age game
 

I say that calling them thugs is a total understatement; there's no SC in the game who could slow a markata scout for more than a couple of turns.

What?!? Killing him? The simple thought fills me with ilarity.

Okay, here is what I'm going to do. First, you are right, the way I was just doing it was a complete waste of my time. I'll go and build the nation from scratch. Quick, easy, and then I can have pyg make 5 quadrillion copies no problem.

Second, there will be a markata mage. It was suggested that I give it a 100% chance of wesn. This can be changed, but they will probably only have 1 magic path. If you want to make them better you will have to empower them like a serious markata user. That will prevent you from empowering as many markata scout SCs, but it is a necessary evil.

Re: Markata Madness, all age game
 

Maybe 100% wesn 100%fadb? That way you can get access to all the paths without too much stupid.

Actually, in order to make *real* markata paths more likely, maybe make the secondary 10%?

Re: Markata Madness, all age game
 

Yeah, the 10% is probably fine.

Re: Markata Madness, all age game
 

Okay, the monkey mod is almost finished. I'm just waiting on a couple sprites from sombre, I may make a hero out of the longdead markata sprite, and then I'll be done. Hopefully pyg's script can do what needs to be done here without too much difficulty.

I had to put in a priest also, because dominions more or less requires them. I'm a bit worried I may have made them too OP though, so I made them cap only. Hopefully that will prevent them from being the only unit made ever. We'll see.

Also the pretenders (Markata Kings) are pretty badass. They have a really cool special weapon, very nice stats, and even better armor than normal markata.

Re: Markata Madness, all age game
 

Attached is a mod with markata as a combined unit. Parts of it could be adapted for this game.

Re: Markata Madness, all age game
 

Here's another little bit.

Markatanana!

Re: Markata Madness, all age game
 

To anyone who is paying attention to this thread, this is the sprite that will be used for the markata priest :)
