Best titles for a Pretender
 

Check this one out for the Moloch:

Hel, King of Every Flame, He Who Stole the Fire, Duke of Hell.

Anyone else wanna share anything cool, or hilarious?

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

I have a Lich Queen who is the Grand Vizier of the Lands of Woe, Queen of Death, She Who Loves Not The Light, Goddess of Terror, the Burning Soul AND the Queen of Heavenly Fires. How's that for a lot of job responsibilties? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

My personal favorite has always been "He Who is at the Center." Just sounds sweet.

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

I've gotten one where I'm both "something of Light" and "Enemy of Light".

The coolest one I've managed to make, which, alas, wasn't really a functional god, was when I was generating test gods just to see how system worked, and got "Satan, Lord of Darkness".

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

My god in my Tuatha AAR (I'll get the next few chapters out soon! Promise!) is Garsivaz, the Turner of the Flood (among other, less cool titles). I like that one.

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

Queen of Immortal Evils, Goddess of Dark Magics, Princess of Untimely Death, the Power Perverse, Goddess of Decay

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

it doesnt sound THAT cool, but i like the "the sword of balance" as well as "Councilor of Gods"

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

If memory serves, I once took an absurdly high astral and was rewarded with "Pivot of the Universe". Whoa -- take THAT, Total Perspective Vortex.

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

Eater of Children made me chuckle, not in a funny way, but in a "what the hey?" kind of way.

The flavor stuff in this game . . . amazing. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Common wisdom says it's taking low astral that's absurd. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

On a recent pretender I got "Symbol of Unchallenged Victory." Not much point in playing the game after turn 1, is there? *g*

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

eater of filth

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

And now, for the worst title ever:

An AI Mictlan Lordof Night:

Barke, Gatherer of the Dead, Lord of Birds and Parrots.

LOL

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

Psitticine might have something to say about that one ;P

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

I seem to recall a "He Who shall not be named" once http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

It's hard work being the Lord of Birds and Parrots, but it's well worth it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

Ythail, God of Invincible Power, Keeper of the Water Dead, the Howler, Prince of the Raging Seas.

Hermobol, Master of Magic, Lord of Fear and Trembling, Enemy of Infants, King of Suffering.

Skarphe, Crystallizer of Dreams, Commander of Truth, Queen of the Celestial Bodies, Guardian of the Law.

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That one is outstanding. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">LOL, a poetic way of saying "The Boogey Man" ...

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

I wonder whats required to get "God of Invincible Power" thats the coolest one I have heard so far.

And yeah, Lord of Birds and Parrots has to be the lamest ever. lol

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

On my first game with the demo I got something like 5 titles, the Last of which was something like "God of Many Titles" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

Ooh I've got a good one: Rausedower, He Who Holds the Fate of All, God of Invincible Power, God of Gods, Lord of This World, King of the Sacred Eye, He Who is At the Center.

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Whole lotta Astral in there, yes? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

I got "Harvester of Sailors" Last night, and thought it just had a ring to it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

I really enjoy playing "Guess The Paths" with AI Pretenders based on their titles. It's' fun, especially trying to figure out some of the ones unlocked by certain combos of magic. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

God of Gods? Sheesh, I've only gotten King of Kings (and there was another pretender claiming it that game. There can be only one!). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Searching the binary, hm. There are a LOT of titles; perhaps nation-specific? Some... 404 lines of titles, not counting variations involving Master / Prince / King / Lord et al.

"# of Penitential Torture"
"Patron of Human Sacrifice"
"Persecutor and Destroyer of Youth"
"the Old, Old One"
"Monster of Confusion and Disorder" -- ooh, that sounds fun.
"He Who Should not be Named", "the Lurker at the Threshold", "the Hunger Without Thought" -- R'lyeh-specific I'd guess.

"The Once and Future King", hehehe.

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

New Ermor Pretender, and new information:

Hella, Lich Queen(Not a title), Father of Gods, Most Evil Mind, Guardian of the Tablets of Destiny, God of the Void, Seducer of Life, God of Insolence

Paths: Blood 9 Astral 9
Dominion 10

The Dominion rating is the catalyst for many of the "Awesome" sounding titles, not the paths.

From the next Dominion 10 guy:

The One Who Contains Everything, God of Invincible Power, The Leeching Darkness, Prince of This World

Having a Path rating of 10 grants better titles than 9. 9 is way better than 4, apparently the next step down, just like with blesses. Having 1 in a path will also get you the introductory titles for that path.

Level 1 Nature: Lord of Birds and Parrots
Level 1 Earth: Patron of Beggars

etc, the level 1's arent pretty lol.

Level 10 blood on Vampire Queen: "The Man Eater"

Most fun I've ever had testing something out =)

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

How about Brother Illearth, King of Kings, Seducer of Life, God of Wealth and Power, God of Blood.

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

1) The Incomparable, King of Kings, Teacher of Philosophy, the Unforgiving God, Lord of Discipline. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

2) Doctor Faustus, Enemy of Infants. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

Not a pretender title, but in a MP game I'm in, there was recently a message saying that "Childfeaster the Archbishop of Ermor" had been proclaimed prophet of Ermor! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yeah, I think so. Scales also give some titles.

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

Paths, dominions, nation, scales, physical form (immobiles, undeads etc) all affect your titles.

High dominion strength = many titles.
High dominion, high path and especially combinations of high dominion and/or several paths = powertitles.

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

I once got this (I guess he likes mountains):

Rex, Lord of the Mountains, the Mountain lord

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

I got God of invincible power, Mother of gods, Queen of insanity, Enemy of infants, Lady of Fraud and Theft on a ashen empire ermor vampire queen with dom10, earth2 astral5 death6 blood2, luck2 magic3, other scales -3.

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

I quite like this full title for my new Ermor Lich Queen (Soul Gate, -3/-3/-3/-3/-3/+3, Dominion 10, 4F3A3W3E9D3N):

"Goddess of Dark Magics, Lady of Ashes, She Who Opened the Box of Woe, the Adversary, the Everburning One"

Let's hope it scares my MP opponent. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

DarkTears:

Now that's an inspiring name for a god. People will most certainly flock to his cause...

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

Some more fun ones I found:

Hringhome, God of Invincible Power, Harvester of Sailors, the Watcher of the Gallows, King of Ice, He Who is at the Center

Anuvade, Queen of Majesty, Sky of all the People, Queen of the Four Winds, Mistress of the Seraphim, Lady of Many Names

Abogol, the Infernal Sovereign, the Brilliant God, the Raging Lord, King of Blood, the Fire of Hatred, Lord of the Smouldercone

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Interesting. The races certainly affect those names. Anuvade is certainly goddess of Caelum and Abogol for Abysia. Did you take Astral/Blood with Abogol, or is "Lord of Smoudlercone" available to all Abysian gods regardless of magics?

EDIT: 2 to "

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

Hringhome was a Jotun Neifelheim Son of Neifel with 3 cold, 10 dominion, 6 water IIRC.

Anuvade was a Caelum Virtue with 3 cold, 3 luck 10 dominion, 10 air.

Abogol was an Abyssian Moloch with 3 heat, 3 death, 3 drain, 10 dominion, 10 fire, 6 blood.

All of those were created for the purposes of finding cool pretender titles, not for actually playing the game.

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

Some of the best titles come on R'lyeh and Ermor pretenders.

although, cranking your scales to -3 eliminates some of the cool + scale titles.

10 dominion + 6+ path/paths = best titles. Scale titles arent that exciting, really, though. So boost the paths, ditch the scales, and reroll till you get one that doesnt have "lady of turmoil" or whatever. =)

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Smouldercone/Seraphim is available to Abysia/Caelum regardless of magic: I know this because for a unit-viewing game I made, I just pushed "create god, done". With no magic, minimal dominion, and no scales, I got one title: Lord of the Smouldercone. The same thing has happened for Caelum.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yeah, but in exchange, you get all the - scale titles, which make you sound like some horrible, nasty person: I got "Norfleet, Lord of Terror, Prince of Darkness, something-or-other-blah-blah-blah", and a bunch of other stuff pertaining to death, disease, mayhem, and other general unpleasantness.

>>I got "Norfleet, Lord of Terror, Prince of Darkness, something-or-other-blah-blah-blah", and a bunch of other stuff pertaining to death, disease, mayhem, and other general unpleasantness.>>

Assumably you are messing around, if so, just reroll, after 3-4 tries, you'll get all power titles, with no "Lord of Beggars" etc thrown in.

I just got, "God of Invincible Power, God of Gods, He Who Stole The Fire, Wielder of Every Flame, King of the Banefires, Lord of Death and Destruction" for example.

that was Abyssia, with 10 dom, -3 to every scale, 9 fire, 6 astral, 8 blood, 1 death, or something similar to that. So yeah, Lady of Turmoil, King of Beggars, Lamer of Lamers, all can happen with bad scales, and that sucks, but since these are test cases, unless you are playing Ashen Ermor http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif anyway, just reroll till its ALL cool.

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Hey, Lord of Beggars is a cool title. Fear the beggars! GRAH!

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I hope you didn't get BOTH of those titles on the SAME god. That's just wrong.

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

The AI sometimes have interesting titles even in Normal difficulty (i.e. no bonus in design point).

Venna, Goddess of Men's Fates, Sky of all the People, Goddess of the East Wind, Lady of Courage (Pythium Virtue, 9A7S)

-Gateway103

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

LOL!

No, those were just examples =P

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

My favorite:
Naggor, Enemy of Reason, The Corn Lord

And that was one I designed for an actual game.

Re: Best titles for a Pretender
 

Fear the corn.

*Edit: BTW, I don't have any links or anything else to back this up, but I have a recollection of reading several years ago, a reference to an article claiming that a large intake of corn would for some reason serve to make the corn eater slightly more prone to violence. If true the corn lordship does not fit that badly together with enemy of reason.
