Mod: Pythium, the Second Empire

[LDiCesare]

I played with it a bit. I like it more than default Pythium. Probably weaker indeed, but the Emperor is cool, recruitable-everywhere vestals can be interesting and the pyrotes are cool.
The angels seem a bit strong maybe?
I summoned Ambriel, glorifier of the Lord, who's got a whopping 35 forge bonus with fire earth and astral. He doesn't show in your image in the OP, so I wonder whether there's an error in the names, either in the mod or the picture.

That forgebonus is likely a typo, the forgebonus is meant to be 25. As for the names, I cannot give the angels permanent names, so they always get random angels names when you summon them. I kept the names in the preview pick in case people want to google or just know the "real" Archangel behind the unit. But since that just proved confusing, I'll update the preview pick today with their "in-game" unit name (a'k'a "X of the Lord").

In hindsight, 35 gems might a bit too cheap for them. I was likely afraid of them looking bad when compared to Angels of Fury. I'll likely bump them to 40 or 45 gems in the next version.

Yes, 35 gems is a bit weak for them. They are better than angels of fury on the whole. They lack blood vengeance but can self bless and buff, and have other uses as forgers/preachers/researchers/sneakers depending on who they are and the circumstances while angels of fury are pretty single purposed. Plus some can cloud trapeze or teleport to the other side of a big map in a pinch.
