Default Re: Sons of Kaleva, a Kalevala mod

I feel kinda silly for posting this same suggestion twice, but have you considered implementing Sampo in any way?

I threw some ideas around in the orginal thread. Sampo would be a kinky unit in the way there really aren't units in Dom3 that are pure support.

It could giving massive supplybonus (the salt and flour grinding). It was also decipted as a bringer of good fortune, so perhaps very nice fortune teller (75? or perhaps even 100!). The grinding of money is a bit tough, since you can't make troops produce gold. The closest interpetation would most likely be to make it produce gems (Fire gems or perhaps 1 of each kind?).

The problem is, that a unit that just sits in your capital isn't really that intresting. Perhaps it could be carried by some handlers so that it can move? A unit that makes sure that your troops don't starve, supplies your mages with gems and protects it from unlucky events could be usefull. When #onebattlespell becomes available, it could perhaps cast a good battlefield buff to encourage using it alongside armies (something like Fanatism?)

The path combination could perhaps be twiddled so that it would most likely be only "summonable" by Ilmarinen or a pretender with the right paths.
