I never thought about 2 head and 4 hand slots before! Will this be in Dominions II?

That could get a bit crazy if you load him up with items (I guess that's the point). 4 cumulative swords of quickness? Druid Kings Crown and Amon Hotep?

Would he have no boot slot because his feet are a mass of roots and bones?

The Nataraja has 4 weapon slots, the Wyrm 2 head slots, the Ettin two heads and 3 or 4 arm slots etc in Dom 2. There is also a new fx ambidextrous that makes units differently skilled at wielding multiple weapons, the Nataraja excels at this.

Nerfix,

I like it! Have you considered adding regeneration, since he could pick up new biomatter to "patch" himself during combat?

I don't know why, but I love equipping Pretenders like that with weird combos of "opposing" magical items, like two ice swords in two hands and two fire swords in the other hands. It's an odd bit of fun.

If it wouldn't make it too powerfull, then it's ok to add regeneration.
I also thougth about adding Claws as weapons second time, would this unbalance him?

Oh and if you like it, any chance of getting this in to the game...?
(ok, just daydreaming, but it would be so nice to see "my own" Pretender...)

He would be the most powerful mage-pretender in the game, at a relatively low cost.

I don't like it.
I don't think that the devs need pretender ideas. Making a pretender like this takes 10 minutes....Everyone could make it, so it is not wise to add this one. Others will demand their own pretenders than.

I totally agree. The idea, to allow players to have their own little pretenders is very bad. Forget it, but real fast.

HEY! I want a pretender too!

PS. I love these pretenders, especially the Ghost King/Vampire Queen.

PS2. The ***** Queen -> Isn't ***** a foul word?
[You meant witch queen maybe?]

AFAIK "*****" is primarily a female dog, the foul sense came from applying it to a woman !
The ***** Queen indeed looks like a dog.
But I'm French, so my English etymology may be faulty.. !

Oh BTW,
Did I read well ? Nerfix proposed a *MOD*, a change to the vanilla game Pretender array ??
ROFLMAO !
