Default Re: New Game: Fun Sites

Here are some I mentioned a year ago in a wishlist thread:

Wormhole[S3] When found, it either adds a "Gateway to Province X" option to any commander in the province (or adds a 1-way #neighbor) to a random province at least 3 away from the site. The destination could either be fixed, or could move randomly every so often. Since it's 1-way, there is a similar risk in going through as if you were teleporting (no retreat).

Hidden Passage[E1] When it is discovered, there is a troglodyte or similar monster attack on the province. Afterward, an adjacent but non-neighbor province is now a neighbor (both ways). This is simply to envision discovery of an underground passage which allows bypassing a impassable mountain range, or river, or cliff face, etc. Perhaps the "other end" of the passage does not appear as an event until units use the crossing the first time, so it could be used for a surprise attack once. It can provide +2E and random horror attacks if you want the "Mines of Moria" variant...

Hall of <X> Elevation[1X] One site exists for each of the 8 paths X=(FAWESNDB), and a commander in that province will have a discount in the cost of Empowerment in that path. E.g. If it was a 20% discount, empowering a Druid from NN to NNN at the "Hall of Nature Elevation" would only cost 36 instead of 45 nature gems.

Echo Canyon / Resonant Woods[A2] Doubles the area of effect or increases the strength of all "Songs" or "Tunes" (Soothing, Healing, etc) in the province.

Empty Altar[H2] Performing a Call God action in this province treats your priest level as +1 for this purpose.

A lot of my favorites are simple 'real' things like the Fault Line above, and things that change mechanics that don't normally have any modifiers (like the cost of mercenaries, or empowerment, or calling god, or #neighbors). A lot of people seem to want there to be more accessible ways to be able to heal curses or afflictions, and I don't think so. (or if so then Arco demands some compensation!)
