Event Ideas

[DrPraetorious]

Lamentably, event modding will probably never be. So I thought I'd start a suggestion box.

Firstly, it'd be cool (and more balanced, I think) if all of the "rainbow" pretenders had common, keyed events that give you commanders (mostly indie mages):

- Mother of Monsters. (thanks to QM for giving me this idea, btw) Gives an Abomination who is also a commander, kills 1,000 people, and spreads dominion 5 times.
"The Awakening God has born a son! He is terrible beyond men's worst nightmares, and when he devours 1,000 people, his wrath inspires the people to a frenzy of worship."

- ***** Queen. Gives you a dire wolf and hundreds of wolves.
"The king of the wolves has sought out the Awakening God and challenged her dominance. Because she triumphed, she is now alpha of all the wolves in the world, and the wolf king has vowed to serve her along with his entire nation."

- Great Sage. Gives you a loremaster.
"A scholar of great reknown has travelled from a distant land to study the sage teachings of the Awakening God. Having finally found the true path to wisdom, he has pledged himself to the new God."

- Frost Father and Skratti. Gives you an unfrozen mage.
"An ancient sorcerer has awoken from the icy slumber of the ages. He pledges his art to the true Lord of the Cold."

- Archmage. Gives you a wizard or a deep seer if you are aquatic.
- Great Warlock. Gives you a (MA) warlock.
- Master Lich. Gives you a lich.
- Smoking Mirror. Gives you an (EA) priest of the sun.
- Fomorian Sorcerer. Gives you a Fomorian Druid.
- Arch Seraph. Gives you a (MA) Seraph.
"The True God has finished training an apprentice. He will wield his powers in the service of his master."

- Druid (various kinds). Gives you a presence and a host of vinemen.
"An ancient presence has stirred in %s; coming upon the awakening God, it is so impressed by his love of the land that it pledges itself and its minions to your cause."

- Crone. Gives you a spectral mage.
"In her youth, many centuries ago, the Awakening God had many lovers, all long dead. Now that her ascension is nigh, one of them has returned from the next world to woo her again."

- Parthalonian Sorceress. Gives you a
"In her youth, long ago, the Awakening God had many suitors, and she thought them all long passed from the world. But

- Great Enchantress. Give you an ether lord.
"In a dream, the awakening God has sought wisdom among the higher spheres. Amid a vast ruin in the flickering aether, she comes upon an empty suit of armor atop a crumbling marble throne. A voice from within the armor challenges her to a contest of riddles: if she loses, she must give up her body and take his place on the throne. Having accepted the challenge and won, the dweller of the place must now serve her."

- Freak Lord, gives you a Succubus
"On a strange whim attending a travelling carnival, the awakening God finds one of his old companions from his wandering days, eating the still-beating heart of the carnival barker in the midst of an act of passion. Down on her luck and hunted by mutual enemies, she accepts the awakening God's generous offer of servitude."

- Divine Emperor, gives you a Prince General, 500 gold, an open ended die / 2 of gems of 3 random types, and up to 4 magic items as equipment on the prince general.
"One of the many sons of the awakening God has reached his majority and left the care of the harem. His martial skills and fanatical loyalty to his father are such that his paternity is acknowledged at once, to much celebration and accclaim; gifts of gold, gems and magic are presented to commemorate his majority."

- Ghost King, gives you a Wraith Senator and a host of longdead horsemen.
"An ancient vassal of the awakening God has returned from the underworld with his knights to renew his vow of fealty."

I'll finish later.

- Master Alchemist
- Void Lurker
- Polypal Mother
