Re: Wasted 75 earth gems on \"Hidden in the Sand!\"
I have to agree, Hidden in Sand does not imply wasteland in any way. Wasteland could be tundra, scrubland, it could be perfectly farmable land that was magically cursed or salted, destroyed with a scorched earth policy of a previous war, etc. There's no reason to insult people over something that is both a description oversight and by no means obvious.

Re: Wasted 75 earth gems on \"Hidden in the Sand!\"
Ideally the spell would be uncastable in non waste provinces, but since I made the spell and not JK it turned out as it did. My programming skill are a bit limited, and I'm actually puzzled as to why you get that single commander. I see no reason for it in the code, but I tought that it was close enough. It is quite annoying that I forgot to mention the requirement in the description.

Re: Wasted 75 earth gems on \"Hidden in the Sand!\"
It seems reasonable enough. All the ancient kings who couldn't afford to build pyramids in the fashionable desert locations had to make do with the local swamp or whatever, and the costs were high enough that they couldn't afford to mummify any bodyguards.
"everyone said 'you can't build a pyramid in the swamp', but I built it anyway. And it sank. Then I built another one, and that one sank as well. The third one caught fire, fell over and then sank'...
How's about a Hidden in Peat spell that uses N3D1 (or N2W2D1?) and summons bog bodies of some form?

One that costs 75 Nature gems, and gets the caster slapped in the face?  |
