Silent Seas AAR

Good going, but that Caelian fort looks like a tough nut to crack. The gurus aren't your best mages I hope?

Not even close. Kailasa has some really nasty mages.

> I don't think the White Ones reincarnation has any game-play effects (like getting a free unit or something). I like to think that being reincarnated as a Markata is what happens to a Guru if they didn't lead a good enough life though

Of course it has an effect (unless some bug has appeared). The white one might reincarnate, in name and body (although the body might be a lesser or greater one, dependent on the karma of the white one). Or become one with the awakening god, increasing dominion.

T'ien Ch'i has hired a group of fown spawn as mercenaries, and they are on my border.

Is this a new unit or just a typo of foul spawn? Also, are you forbidden to post combat screens or have you simply refrained from doing so because there hasn't been anything particularly interesting to show?

That sounds great, thanks for clearing it up. Just to keep bugging you: how is the karma determined, does it actually depend on the actions of the White One or is it random?

That's pretty awesome.

oops! I guess I probably should have known that! sorry

I haven't posted battle shots because I had already played to turn 8 or 9 before we got the go-ahead to for sure post screenshots. (I am playing ahead to make sure I have regular updates). There are some battle shots, and some more info on Kailasa's mages in the screenshot pipeline.

re. the fown spawn thing - that's a typo. I think I was thinking of a really bad pun on the word 'foul' - i.e. 'fowl' spawn (since they're employed by Caelum). But neither thing came out in the end.

Really, it's the little touches about this game I love the most. They give it flavor that just can't be beat.

Very, very cool.
