Statue idea is good, but then I think Agartha being able to recruit Telestic Animates would be wicked-cool.

Black Phoenix for Abysia sounds wicked-cool as well.

Love the idea, worthy heroes is used consistently in every one of my games. I also used the online randomizer to get a random commander for that same reason (more of an RPG feel), but something thematic and balanced would be cool.

Eventually it would be nice to have a second set of 4 heroes (a la worthy) but you only get 1 random at the start, and they are never able to show up again barring wish.

I'm only familiar enough with a few nations to be of help thematically, but I'll think on it.

I think I can do the black phoenix graphic. Hook me up with the image you were talking about and give me a couple of details - size etc.

[Xietor]

he will be a size 2 9 hp immortal caster.

Here is the 2nd one. I could not decide between the two.

This is a post by Bandar Lover that he posted on the Beowulf thread. I moved it over here.


"Xietor asked me to post this so I guess I will. Here is my background story for an angel hero for Pythium:


While the Pantokrator ruled, contact between mortals and angels was prohibited. However, during Pythium's violent split with Ermor, one angel forsook his place and came to Pythium's aid in their darkest time of need. Despite Pythium's reverence of angels - or because of it - the angel was struck mute by the Pantokrator and his name taken away from him. Even after the Pantokrator's sudden disappearance, Nameless wanders the mortal realm still. Legend holds that he will always come to Pythium's aid, regardless of the cost to himself."

EDIT: Attachment doesn't work!

While your pictures aren't something that could be used in the game straigth away, the silhouette-like look gave me an idea. Attached are three different versions of a phoenix. They are named as blackphoenix.tga and blackphoenix2.tga, blackphoenix_aflame.tga and blackphoenix_alfame2.tga, and blackphoenix_flames.tga and blackphoenix_flames2.tga. The first pair is just a recolored version of Harpy Queen hero of Pangaea, in the second and third there are flames made from Djinni (of the lamp) and a Fire Elemental behind the same sprite. All first sprites consist of just a shadow, while all second sprites are colored as if flaming, but in the exact form of the shadow of the first sprite.

While I made these in pairs, they could be used independently of each other, or combined in various different ways. Say, blackphoenix.tga and blackphoenix_aflame.tga, so that the Black Phoenix is always a shadow, but sometimes surrounded by blazing flames seeming to come from the ground.
