Cliche Mod idea

And making potions reminds me: wizards should be able to forge stuff and cast rituals wherever they are. Going all the way back to a lab is just so hard.

Wizards with any level at all in air should ofcourse be able to fly. Likewise, wizards with water will regain the ability to breath water, nature mages regenerate and plants and animals will not attack them, wizards with death magic will transform into liches automatically when they die, and wizards with fire will explode without the need for a medallion of vengeance. Earth magic (considered boring) will be replaced by the Kung-Fu magic path. Anyone with any levels in Kung-Fu will gain 2 kicking attacks, 4 fist attacks, and strength +12. Magic levels will be reduced to 3: like totally psychic, really awesome powerful, and archmage ultra-special-deluxe.

Kung Fu Archmages!! Awesome!!!111

How about we redo the messages the computer gives us so they are more upbeat and energetic? E.g.

"SUDDENLY!!!!! A bunch of FIREBALLS appear in your camp and blow 18 of your units the HECK UP!!! W0000T11!! ALL YOUR BASS ARE BELONG TO THE TIEN CHI!!! SUKKA!!! PUCKER UP AND KISS HIS FISH111!!!"

and

"A bunch of fabulous fall leaves of gorgeous gold, beautiful brown, and orangalicious orange hue were found in a badger's den! You lucky lucky lucky lucky dog you!!"

Pretenders definitely need a love-interest. I want to know that my Void-Lord can get it on with that fine Mother of Monsters. Monster-booty. Awwww yeah.

Oh and we need the politically correct button to turn off all the "religiousity", so as not not offend anyone. Not to mention, the violence and sexuality. Instead of swords and crossbows, armies will now be equipped with Nerf-bats and super-soakers filled with undead-and-demon-melting Kool-aid. They'll be stylin' in armor designed by Armani and Cheryl Teague. I like valkyries who where Abercrombie and Fitch. Imagine the endorsement possibilities!

And on that note: sure, people used to worship the Great Earth Mother as is, but that icon is old, and I mean cave-man-days. In the year 2006, we need a slimmer, more debonair earth-mom-on-the-go. Modern mom can still crush an army while fitting into a bikini, especially if she's wearing power pumps and driving an SUV.

Yeah, good idea. There would be potential for several overly-complex love interest mini-games.

It's also be totally awesome to port Dominions to consoles- implementation of the wii remote, especially, would be great.

Badgers are the Master Race !

HoneyBadger · #8 November 30th, 2006, 10:10 AM

Badgers should be a major new race in the game. Infact, there should be plenty of talking (or in the case of badgers, typing) animals and Animorphs (everyone loves fuzzies, especially certain demographics which this game normally would not reach) in the game outside the boundaries of the overly-explicit Pangaea. Each hero shall come fully equipped with not only a complex interweaving love-interest, but atleast one mandatory fuzzy sidekick, and/or golem/loremaster/second, kinkier love-interest/talking horse/insect-in-a-tophat, and a large, extended family (several of which will costar as either sidekicks, comic relief, really, REALLY kinky love-interest (we're trying to reach that demographic, too), or recurring villains: said villains revealing their identity as long lost father/mother/uncle/cousin/sister/brother/clone within the course of the game and then switching sides against the evil enemy forces in the last few rounds of any battle in which the player would otherwise lose.) Note, the hero's initial fuzzy sidekick can double as the following: comic relief (a popular choice), savage-yet noble-thug, kinky love-interest, long-lost-relation-disguised-as-a-villain- disguised-as-a-sidekick.
Furthermore, all graphics shall be redone in Anime style and Blood Magic (ick) shall be renamed Hentai.

...I am deeply disturbed.

B0rsuk · #10 November 30th, 2006, 02:40 PM

This is no laughing matter. I already considered modding a badger nation - with heavily armored badgers, three-headed firebreathing badgers, melisus (badger with wings, I actually saw one in my dream once) and others. And don't forget

And there will be badger tribe poptype (+1hp, darkvision, precision -1)
