Mod: Gaea, Cradle of Forests (3.08 compatible)

[Endoperez]

I think the seduction is similar to that of Nagini of LA Patala: they can't fly, so they must be next to a friendly province. Any friendly province works, though.

[Shovah32]

Endo is right with that one. Honestly squads of nymphs summoned by my starting ancient were my expansion force, seducing all commanders in a province then moving on, leaving only 1 behind to rout the un-commanded troops.

[Foodstamp]

Ancients and the standard Ents produce freespawns. I gave the Nymphs seduction 15 and sometimes even your normal indy commander unit would resist.

Let me know if your able to use this tactic of Nymph hording throughout the entire game vs the AIs, I didn't mean for them to be massed expanders and they may need to be toned down. I have an idea as to how I can do that, but I did not implement it because while their success rate was high in my test games against indies, they failed quite a bit when they came across other nation commanders.

If they are too powerful, I am going to lower their seduction a step or two, and copystats from a unit that dies away from home, like the Naiad or the Hamadryad.

Are you liking the overall theme of the mod?

[Shovah32]

Im liking the theme but the military seems far too weak(almost no battlemagic, alot of immobile units, no recruitables, weak or rare dom summons ect), particularly for a nation with only 1 path of magic.

[Foodstamp]

Does the military being weak make playing with the nation a challenge, or does it make you want to pull your hair out?

[BandarLover]

Not quite pulling hair worthy to me. It's a challenge expanding with only domspawn units, for sure. I'd like to see more variety in troop types, but that's just me.

[HoneyBadger]

Ooops, sorry, I posted to the wrong thread.

[Foodstamp]

BandarLover,

What kind of units would you like to see? I want to keep the nation focused on only nature magic so keep that in mind. Any new units I add are going to be dominion based spawns, using the summon ally command or new nature spells.

Also keep in mind that in my mods, I like for the unit to fill a certain role.

[PvK]

Does it come with a leader wolf? Or do you have to combine it with something that gives a leader?

[Foodstamp]

It comes with a leader werewolf just like Call of the Wild. It seems the monster you put in the damage field determines your commander when you create a farsummon.

If you put the unit number for the wolf, you get a werewolf commander. My guess is that it works the exact same way with other farsummon spells that have units and a unique commander.

Also, Call of the Pack is more effective in forests, just like Call of the Wild, once again I think this is determined by the unit you put in the damage field.
