I can't remember all reasons for the switch of regen - berserk. I'll try to remember some.

Niefelheim and many other nations always had nature 9 blessing. That didn't feel right. Especially when there are new nations with big sacred summonables.

Now berserk might seem unattractive, but the increasing effect of regen might compensate so that people takes higher lvl nature at times.

It feels a bit strange that the rather magical powers of regeneration is easier to get than common battle rage. So this is more of a balance change then a thematic change and I'm not entirely fond of it. It works, but I can feel a bit annoyed at times.

I felt more concerned with thematically boring pretenders. It would not sit well with me if every pretender of Yomi took Nature 9 to make the Dai Oni regenerate. Few variations on pretender design combined with unthematic gods is not attractive. I do like unthematic gods, but not if they are always the same.

I agree it does feel less thematic. Maybe its possible to change this so that with regen at N9 also comes a vulnerability, like fire prot -50 (this will serve the Niefel giants quite well I suppose )

Nerfix expressed sadness about the fact that Nagas are no longer available on pretender creation. This is due to the fact that naga exist as a recruitable race in LA Patala (late era monkeys), which is rather limiting for even the greatest specimens of their race. Golden Naga is gone, or at least I haven't yet noticed her anywhere, but there are few new hybrid creatures, and I have had this strangest feeling of having met some of them before...



The feeling is rather disconcerting, especially in her case, as I'm sure I could never forget such a meeting.

Under her special abilities, is that weird little green/black icon the indicator for her +lamias ability or is it something else? It's not ringing any bells.

She's a nice little pretender.

[Nerfix]

Awesome.

I believe that the dark green icon is icon for Poison Cloud.

[BigJMoney]

Wow, the D9 blessing was changed. How about B9? I sure hope that was changed...

Does size factor into combat calculations at all? I can't recall if that's the case either. If it does, I know there's already a ton of information on unit screens, but I'd love to see size indicated somewhere. Hey, it might be redundant with the icon, but still, I like numbers.

Indeed, it's poison breath/aura. There were few "accidents", so a new icon was added.

Not so little any more.

I think I promised some Late Age Arco a while ago.

A Great Conqueror left forth from Arcoscephale... and died. Astrologers were killed because they weren't good enough to keep him alive. Ancient Sibyl seeresses have come to guide the kingdom in these new times. They are skilled in Astral and Nature, and can get Death via randoms. Much has stayed the same (Hoplites, Hypaspists, Heart Companions, Priestesses), but there are few new things.

Finally, some cavalry:

[Nerfix]

Interesting stuff.

[Endoperez]

A new order of soldiers is being formed. An interesting combination of Hoplites and Hypaspists, or perhaps Peltasts and Hoplites, or perhaps they are something completely new.



To answer a question asked elsewhere: their spears have a counter-balance. See, there's metal in both ends of that spear!
