Mod: EA Alchera - now ver. 2.0!

[the Vanishag]

well, 1.51 is up

Thanks to Burnsaber for the clarification, and to RadioStar, whose suggestion for the Rainbow Serpent became (toned down a little), the trickster hero Maui. Combining Ethereal and Luck is dangerously powerful: in a test, I conquered a number of Independent nations with good soldiers w/ Maui and 10 Dream Warriors (without blessing them!)

I didn't try them against overwhelming numbers - that should balance out the only 1-in-8 hits of Lucky Ethereal units, and of course human players would use spells and/or magic weapons to negate the ethereality, but I still wonder about balance: not basic power, but the "exploitability" of combinations.

to Sombre: I downloaded Jomon: Broken and look forward to trying it - and wow, are your sprites pretty (in the expansive sense, like "look how beautifully drawn that sucking gut wound is"). I'm a little abashed.

to Honeybadger: I have to agree w/ you about the Arboleths - they should be utterly inhuman, which would make them amoral rather than immoral, but they seem to be pursuing very conventional "human" ends, which deprives them of their excuse. Of course, one could also see them as victims of their Pretender God whose response to being enslaved was to enslave others...
