Draconian Mod Under construction

[Thilock_Dominus]

Currently I'm working on a mod which makes a Draconian playable race. Also with uniqued weapons, armor and spells will be added. At the moment I'm calling the mod 'Draco'.

My thoughts on a Draconian race will be more diffrent from the summoning draconians which I'm also going to change with this mod.
It's gonna be a strong race but expensive. No archery or Cavelries and the troops don't uses shields with exeption for one of the units. Main weapon: Spear, pikes, Helbards and staffs.
Magic Paths: Fire, Air and a little Astral. Priest magic: Average. The Draconians will be added with some cool abilities instead.

I'll post a little bit later which kind of units and heroes I made....Just tweaking some of them a little bit to fit nicely.

Ideas, critics, suggestions are welcome.


Best regards

Illwinter's first game, Conquest of Elysium, had dwarves, elves and draconians as playable races, among others. There the draconians recembled your description quite well, some were immune to cold, others to fire, third had poisonous attack... Unfortunately, you cannot play as them in the demo.

Are the magics all on the same mage? If not, how are they divided? How expensive mages are, and are their forces closer to Jotuns than to humans?

Unfortunately I havn't try Conquest of Elysium :/...but it sounds cool. Ahem....back to the questions : One of the priest Called as simple as Temple Priest, it's a combo, It have Astral, air and holy magics and cost at the moment: 350 gold and 30 resources. Then we have a Draconian Elder which have: Fire, air and one random, prize: 290 gold/ 18 resources. So they magic paths a little spread. The only paths which all magic Users have is air with execption for the 'Arcane Changling which all magic paths are random.

sounds very nice .
i am looking forward to your mod because i like draconians .

[Thilock_Dominus]

Thanks Boron . The Draconians was my Favorite race too in AOW2.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the draconians will have a "hero" called 'Changeling' which can assassinate other heroes.

The little story behind 'Changeling' and 'Arcane Changling' are some of the Draconian eggs was redicated with magic rediation and change the DNA of these draconian. this make them possible to change appearance (Awe(1), and illusion)
