Re: Mod: Stigian Corruption
Downloaded and tried a small map, one AI enemy. I ascended before year two lol,
The pros...
The graphics are awesome! Excellent job ripping/redoing these graphics from whatever game they are from. The shadows are great, none of the units look ugly at all.
The nation has a consistent feel to it, and the "banner" for the nation has a very unique look i really like.
The cons...
WoW, take everything good about any nation in dominions 3 and put it into a nation and you got this one. Glamour units, strong assassin, unmatched morale, ulmish type heavy armor units, flankers, a solid bless unit, insane magic picks on commanders (for late era), stealth armies, tramplers, regen, recuperation, atleast one commander GENERATES blood slaves, holy 4 priests.
As i found out in my first game, a regular nation is no match for this one.
In it's current form, this nation is way too overpowered, but fun and thematic to play single player. If no balance is added, I will probably still use this mod as a challenging AI opponent.
Only other con I can mention is the generic title of the nation "Fallen Nation". A mod with such beautiful graphics and a solid theme deserves a little more time spent on the name.
EDIT: Forgot to add... The Nation specific pretender is a holy4 priest. I am not sure if this is intentional but the idea behind priests in dominions I believe is they worship the pretenders. A Pretender being a priest of a faith that worships him seems a bit odd.
