Amazon Mod

OT post intended to be tongue-in-cheek, read at your own peril ...

True, but one must also consider that the game was designed by a bunch of *guys*. heh

Only female blood is sufficiently powerful

Does this mean that females are stronger than males in the truly important areas? (ie: something other than muscles)

and only virginal females are sufficiently pure.

Hmm. Which indicates that it's the touch of males that is a corrupting influence, not females (as many religions imply). Of course, when it's males that hold those religion's high offices, naturally it's in their own interests to point the finger elsewheres.

No doubt the Amazons capture and enslave weak-minded, man-loving (in an innocent sense) women to fulfill their blood slave needs.

Man-loving -> weak-minded. Hmm. See earlier comment re: corrupting influences.

I think that the ultimate example of this is still the Vampire Queen. Nothing like having a bloodsucking ***** for a god.

Heh!

I too had thought of wanting to be able to make the Amazon blood slaves male, but sadly there's no way to mod that (yet?).

Vynd, I haven't found the manual to be repetetive, specific, or fetishistic about the gender of blood slaves. Just hunted and didn't see where you might have meant, either. Or were you mainly being funny? The references I remember are from in-game - I know there is one in the Blood Hunt short mouse-over text, which says "(B) Capture girls ...", but there is a more elaborate description (in game, I think - I can't remember where now), which I remember as saying, "(typically young girls)".

I had thought of making a freed blood slave unique heroine as a not-so-tough holy-4 priestess, but just lacked time to do the graphics before I wanted to release it.

Yes, but then if you empower it in blood and make it cast a spell, the game crashes.

PvK is talking about creating a new unit. The problem you mention is connected to the existing blood slave, which I imagine is hard-coded to its ID.

This nation calls for a rainbow pretender, because only the nature site searching spell can be cast by default. For everthing else you need a jade sorceress with some very lucky double picking.

That was a joke, Arryn.

The Oynx priestess gets dark knowledge. The Crystal amazons give you air and astral. The Garnets give you blood, and the jades give you nature and water. All they miss natively is fire and earth if you aren't lucky.

Seems you'll have to edit your post one more time, Graeme, since the Crystal witches haven't the requirements to cast Auspex.
