Mod: Nova Deus II v1.22 (w/ New Content)

See? And you thought I was making it up

When my wife and I get our new house, I think I'll grow some blue roses in the front yard.

Baba Yaga's hut would be size 6, have trample effect and a bite attack. It would be Baba-Yaga's first form. She could transform into her flying mortar and pestil (size 4, flying, trampling), and then into a raven (size 1) if badly injured. The first two forms would have lots of protection and decent HP. The third form would be weak but immortal.

She'd have nature and death magic with 20 points for additional paths, and cost maybe 175.

Holy cow... this Baba Yaga thing keeps getting curiouser and curiouser. What would the house be "biting" with? The toothy maw of its keyhole? Also, I thought weapons were pretty much ignored on trampling creatures because they attacked with their size and weight rather than martial skill. If anything, my interest for a Slavic nation mod has certainly been piqued.

It's my take on the situation that it would be the door rather than the keyhole that was a hungry sharp-toothed mouth. And as far as trampling goes, yes weapons are ignored, but not if the trampler is the same size as the tramplee, if you see what I mean. Size 6 vs size 6, the hut would use it's bite attack instead of trampling.

A Slavic nation would certainly be interesting, although I'd personally include elements of Russian and Polish mythologies just to make the mod a little more complete.

That would allow me to include Czernebog and the Russian bear as Pretenders, alongside Baba Yaga, and include Cossac troops (the poor Cossac tribes are either extinct or nearly so under Communist Russian rule. Not much thanks for a warrior elite who aided Russia time and again in it's history. It's nice to be able to give them atleast the dignity of a place in an Eastern European/Low Countries nation, until a Russian mod comes along.).
