I agree with that. Unless it had some limited area (like AoE 20 for example) too, but I don't know if it is possible to make such a spell. |
The minor flaming arrows spell itself seems possible, at least the following lines seem to work (school and paths are to test easyly):
#newspell
#copyspell "Flaming Arrows"
#fatiguecost 10
#aoe 20
#school 3
#researchlevel 0
#path 0 0
#path 1 6
#pathlevel 0 1
#pathlevel 1 1
#restricted 35
#end
Still maybe the other possible change is to add a gemproducing(fire) national summon,
and add a set of drawbacks to that unit: no item slots, immobile, reaper(througn will not disease units but at least"plague" the local population), and with a considerable gold cost(to limit usable numbers). Something like this:
#newmonster 2900
#copysprite 1952
#name "Fever Fetish"
#descr "Gem generator"
#mapmove 0
#ap 2
#immobile
#gemprod 0 1
#gcost 1500
#older 50
#leper 50
#end
#newspell
#name "Place Fevers"
#fatiguecost 100
#nreff 1
#effect 10021
#damage 2900
#school 3
#researchlevel 0
#path 0 0
#path 1 6
#pathlevel 0 1
#pathlevel 1 1
#restricted 35
#descr "The caster gathers magical essence of fevers in the province and places it into a statue. Gathered power brings a statue to life and causes it to spread deadly diseases. Every month a fire gem is created by gathering power from fevers caused."
#end |
Great idea on the limited effect flaming arrows.
Good coding!
I have used the gemproduing nationals to good effect for abysia, agartha. I'm in favor of it for machaka as well so long as the other changes don't get to strong. I'll probably borrow your concept whole stock.
Do you have any suggestions for the other items in the opening post?
