Mod Ogri, Stones of Blood

DrPraetorious · #1 October 17th, 2007, 01:20 AM

New mod nation - ostly finished but needs a bit more work. The nation's recruitables are absolutely terrible (and will probably get worse), but you're supposed to only use them for blood-hunting patrollers.

It's inspired by that awesome Dr. Who episode where the stones come to life with spilled blood. That's really the entire nation - you are expected to devote your entire economy to blood hunting.

Try an awake Prince of Death with Air and Death, Turmoil-3, Sloth-3, Growth-3, Fortune-3, domstr 10.

New version:
* Now recruit celebrants, who are 50% insane.

* New units, thug, leader. Several indies removed.

* Descriptions are written.

* Pixel art is cleaned up. Bugs are fixed in higher level summons.

* National substitute for crumble that costs blood slaves.

The spells summon Ogri(30 slaves) and summon greater Ogri(80 gems) seem to do the same thing and the lesser spells(25 slaves for a single unit?) are far too costly for what you get.
If the greater Ogris have atleast B2E2 I can see some demon knight production, or production of the various stone troops if they become worth using.

I've fixed the typos in the greater summonings (oops).

How much do you think would be fair for each of the following? Should I increase the aoe of their natural attack for the larger stones?

4 x 20 hp + elemental blasts (currently 25 slaves)
3 x 20 hp + soul drain + fear (currently 25 slaves)
H[FW]B[FWEB], 45 hp + elemental blasts (currently 25 slaves)
H2EB[FWEB], 45 hp + fear + soul drain (currently 30 slaves)
H3[FW]2B2[FWEB]x2.1, 80 hp + elemental blasts (should be 75 slaves but spells have typo)
H4E2H2[FWEB]x2.1, 80 hp + fear + soul drain (should be 80 slaves but spells have typo)

I'm having a lot of trouble finding a reasonable price point; especially if I fold these guys into my omni-villainous padmassa mod, pricing will be a problem.

This is probably the final version of this mod nation, barring some tuning or bug fixes. It's not meant to be a complicated position but I think it does it's thing.

So, those are gonna stay the only recruitable things?

Hehe, looks pretty cool.

After miserably losing with dominion falling to 0 (it's maybe better like that, It happened same turn than Bogus besieged my capitol

), I assume dominion works � la Mictlan, only sacrifice (and pretender) can spread it ?

When the stones you have at the beginning of the game are casting ranged attacks during battles, there's no graphic for the projectiles. Or maybe is-it a vista bug ?

Nice mod. I'll try another game - but I won't forget the sacrifices this time.
