Screenies!

> I'm scratching my head and wondering if anyone in their right mind would ever play a crone.

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.

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.

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.

I want freaking sharks with laser beams!

You've already seen the ranged blaster-assassin, so I'll give you the fish-that's-not-exactly-fish beamster. It's grown older (108 years old already!) since the baby picture. Its Polypal Mother are so proud of it!

They are. There aren't that many totally new assassins (Early Age Abysia has Demonbred assassins, very much like the Dom2 hero) and there are more stealthy troops with interesting abilities. Satyr Sneaks are just common troublemakers, but Nagini of Patala...




That last Water pick is from a random. The random is common 100?WESN, or one 100% chance for one of Water, Earth, Astral or Nature. Nagini are 250 gp capital-only commanders of Late Age Patala (monkey people), and in Middle Age, they are national summon of Bandar Log, Conj. 4, WWE, 25 gems, with no national mages capable of casting the summon. Their best mages do have 110%WESN random (one 100% and one 10% chance for getting one of those paths; the randoms are not linked) so there's a slight possibility of getting WE caster who could eventually make a Water Bracelet.


Also, as you probably noticed, this picture is of slightly higher quality. The game looks much better than this, and I realized how ugly the other pictures are, so I made this picture of slightly better quality (and many times bigger).

[JaydedOne]

Wow. The Nagini is just... nice. Versatile, yet not overpowered. I love the fact that they get so many options. Probably the best argument I've seen yet to play Patala -- just getting to monkey around (pun intended) with that unit.

Thank you.

They're like normal Abysia, but bigger, meaner and hotter !
