Haida Gwaii 1.02 -Custom Graphics &3.08 compatible

[Londo_Mollari]

My 2 cents...

I only had time to do a few tests but i can already say that i love this mod, maybe my fav nation mod with the insectoid one (i'm an alien and 40k nids fan )

Why? Because it's well balanced, funny and original.

I like the "Haida Atlatl" aka super javelin, very effective vs archers.
The coyote is nice and funny for the price (like the immortal turkeys summon )

On the nation stenght and weakness:
The good: Amphibians, 1xsailing commander, 1xresearchbonus cmdr, 1xflying call_allies cmdr, lots of sacred cmdrs+original sacred units, good casters (lvl 3to5 in W,A,N magic) without old age, n.summons.
The bad: weak armor, lack of elite troops and magic diversity.

IMHO it's all good, but i'll surely never select one of your nice custom pretenders coz of the magic diversity weakness

The Crest Pole makes a really good bless chasis. .

Keep an eye on your Eagle Talons, they have a tendency to hit the old age realm pretty quickly, especially if they don't random a nature pick.

This mod is Ziped in Rar, alot of people playing Dominions use Linux and Linux has trouble using winrar to my knowledge, you may want to re zip it in zip.

Oh, also after playing it, those javelin things you made have range 20, they really should be range strength, considering they actauly do damage from strength.

Also I'd love to say that this mod is fantastic! one of the best I've played!!

The idea behind the atlatl is that it gives extra range because of how the javelin is propelled. This weapon and unit is supposed to be one of the shining points of the Haida early game. They are a superior archer slayer and overall chaff/indy province slayer as well.

If I were to do as you suggested, it would become just another javelin unit with extra ammo/attacks every round. I am going to leave it how it is unless there is a tremendous outcry that this unit needs to be brought into the realm of the mundane.

I didn't know linux users could not use winrar. I will create a zipped version and attach it asap

[Foodstamp]

Here is the zip version for anyone on linux and for people who do not have winrar installed on their computers. Enjoy!

I looked up atlatl on wikipedia. Sounds like they are pretty effective, I think you should leave them as they are unless they end up being overpowered.

I'm on linux and can open rar files. I guess it just varies with computer setup.

Well, I'd heard it from one of the designer for dominions when I tried to submit a mod for dom 2 a while back and it was in rar, and fair enough explantion their foodstamp, I just thought it might have been a mistake, never the less, love the mod.
