It doesn't exist in linux to my knowledge

Ye oh...I thought that you are a Window$ user.
Anyways what about this?

RAR 3.60 for Linux ->

[Gandalf Parker]

what about zipping it? I wont load 3rd party stuff to my linux. It kindof undoes the reason for using linux. Actually though Kristoffer you might check to see if its already there. I typed rar and it worked.

*sigh* so many different "just get this" stuff. Mods in different compressions, offered only on things like bittorrent, or as iso, etc etc. Ive lost track of how many things Ive had to add to my machines. I have to jump from keyboard to keyboard to see if I have it already available on one of the others.

Crones have D1 now, still 0 points, but start old. In their case, having Nature magic isn't enough to stave off the old age, so you'd better pick up some more of the Death to keep her from not suffering from it too badly. That Death as in a magic path, as a scale, Death would make matters worse. Growth helps, if your nation's mages also happen to be old.

Start old? Wait a minute, you can't be saying pretenders can get afflictions and die from old age, can you?! Also, the main change CB implemented concerning the crone/hag was the ability to heal afflicted units in the same province. That was why she was so great

Yes they can, though crones are the only ones that will most likely actually see it in practice. Even they are much less likely to get afflictions than an average mage, since they have a much higher base lifespan, which reduces the chance of afflictions.

I'm scratching my head and wondering if anyone in their right mind would ever play a crone. Of course, I'm a Dom3 noob, and I'm sure those spells that extend life, etc. would make it viable. I'm sitting here imagining the process. Crone gets old, crone gets diseased, crone finally dies. You call crone back, but she's still dying and she's still diseased, so she dies again... I suppose the way to think of it is that she is not a god yet, but she's reaching to attain godhood. She has to "cheat life" the whole way there, too. That makes sense.

Because you can name her Hagga!

Also crones start with death magic and if you up that a bit you will not suffer from disease for a couple of hundreds of turns, unless exposed to decay. The main effect of the old age is that she has age reduced stats (but her basic stats are upped to represent her stats if she was young).

> You call crone back, but she's still dying and she's still diseased, so she dies again...

Disease always goes away when you are recalled or reborn from immortality. Only mister disease himself (T'ien Ch'i hero) gets diseased immediately once reborn.

> I suppose the way to think of it is that she is not a god yet,

There are plenty of gods that dies in the myths and religions of our history. Nothing spectacular about that

Besides, you could just cast Twiceborn on her...if the people can worship an old hag, they can worship a wight mage.

Hmm...how about a screenie of Son of the Sky? Or what was that winged titan called.

[JaydedOne]

You know what I'd like?

A screenie of a new assassin-type. Any will do, so long as there's commander-killing goodness involved.

[Sindai]

There's already a freaking ninja on the first page of the thread. What more could you want?

Anyway, does Abyssia have 3 themes now? Obviously Blood of Humans is LA and normal is...MA probably? Then what's their EA like?

[JaydedOne]

I want another assassin. Preferably one that shoots laser beams out of his eyes.

Come on now. Am I really that greedy for wanting another? They're an awfully fun type of unit.
