Default Re: Kinda-sorta reintroducing themes, via Pretenders

This doesn't look feasible to me.

There are similar features in the game now - more maenads for turmoil, for example - which are mostly hard-coded for an individual scale/unit combo. So they might hardcode each of the bonuses you propose, but a mod script to add bonuses of those kinds is pretty well impossible.

I particularly like the phoenix making the prophet immortal.

If they were going to do a dominions 4, it would be nice if the various data structures were handled more dynamically so that this kind of thing were easier to do. But that's highly unlikely and would require a rewrite more or less from the ground up.

I like the way you think HoneyBadger. I also miss the themes of DOM2. This would be alot of fun to play, but I am afraid we wont see any changes like this until DOM4,Bogus willing.

You want to play a one on one game HoneyBadger? I have a feeling you have some very unorthodox tactics.

Might be, might be, when I have some time off. I'll get back to you on that. So far, I've managed to lose in a variety of unorthodox ways, in MP games, but I only got to play a bare handful before my computer broke. Now that I'm up and running, I'll try to find the time.
