Mirror Match - Beta 1.0
This is a beta version of Mirror Match, which replaces all of the LA nations with 6, absolutely identical, color coded nations on a sorta generic fantasy theme.
It also has my particular flavor of CBM mixed in with it - so do not use this and CBM at the same time!
Male magicians always get FAS,FA,FS,AS,FAEWSN, with varying %s.
Female magicians always get N,WE,WN,EN,FAEWSN, with varying %s.
The bishop gets a single S magic so that he can cast the ritual to make more priests.
The units each nation gets are-
-- Capital only units:
--- Templar (female, sacred, heavy cavalry)
--- Harridan (female, sacred, pricey, stealthy/survival, medium inf.)
--- Slayer (female, sacred, elemental resists, archer)
--- Engineer (siege bonus, pricey, medium crossbow)
--- Longbowmen (pricey, archers)
--- Mounted Heavy Infantry (pricey, heavy infantry)
-- Capital only commanders:
--- Mage (female, magic, sacred, flying unicorn heavy cavalry)
--- Mage (magic, priest 1)
--- High Slayer (harridan+slayer, non-commander, priest 1, assassin)
--- Bishop (S+priest 3 (thus ordains priests), awe)
--- Friar (priest 2, stealthy/survival commander, inquisitor, sailing)
--- Wizard-Engineer (magic, heretic, forge bonus, siege, sailing)
-- Common Units
--- Battle Vestal (female, sacred, light infantry)
--- Ranger (pricey, patrolbonus, stealthy/survival, light crossbow)
--- Militia (cheap, light infantry)
--- Light Infantry (light infantry)
--- Medium Infantry (medium infantry)
--- Heavy Infantry (heavy infantry)
--- Archers (short bow, light infantry)
--- Crossbowmen (crossbow, heavy infantry)
--- Light Cavalry (light cavalry, pillage bonus)
--- Knight (heavy cavalry)
-- Common Commanders
--- Lord (excellent commander, standard, levies troops)
--- Adventurer (excellent commander, mapmove 3, patrolbonus, stealthy/survival/spy/sailing)
--- Wizard (poor commander, heretic, nobadevents)
--- Witch (poor commander, heretic, healer)
--- Assassin (assassin, stealthy/survival non-commander)
-- Free Summon Commanders
--- Priest (priest 1, non-commander)
--- Ritual to make these guys takes H3.
Anyhoo, feedback is appreciated. Note that the caster pretenders all have magicboost, so that their magic paths appear higher on the selection screen than they will be for blessing purposes (opposite of dragons.)
The next version will have big spells that let you summon sacred troops without researching them - idea being that having a big F pretender would give you sacred flame troops - and a set of spells so that D and B pretenders can bootstrap an undead or blood slave economy.
Enjoy.
