Mod idea: Reborn Iron Faith

[HoneyBadger]

I'm really intrigued by this, Gandalf.

Could I get an explanation of "old special faiths"? And a list of them? Possibly a list of the "themes" present in Dom2 as well? It's something I wouldn't have access to even with a manual, so I don't feel bad asking about it, and-with details-some of them might make really good subjects for mods.

Thanks so much.

Hello

I have been tinkering with bringing back Iron Faith Ulm without the Black Fores elements, and with some new stuff. So far my ideas include:

- All the middle age Ulmish units
We know the drill.
- Black Templars & Hochmeisters
This drill is also a familiar one.
- Templar Guardians
Oh...what's this? Clad in best Ulmish black steel armor covered with silver, scribled with sacred symbols and anointed in holy oils, these holy tinned meats posses 25% fire and lightning resistance and above-ulmish MR. Their magic Halberds do extra damage to demons.
- Templar Lord
A Templar Guardian commander, 1 Holy.
- Iron Priests (1 Earth 100%WESA 2 Holy, Inquisitor, Forgebonus)
Slightly boosted up
- Iron High Priest (1 Earth 1 Astral 110%WESA 2 Holy, Inquistor, Forgebonus, starts Old)
The first and most skilled of Iron Priests, the Iron High Priests supervise the kingdom. They study magics of the forge and magics of the Spheres.
- Battle Chaplain
2 Holy commander with full black steel armor and a Maul, these commander represent the will of the Ulmish God on the battlefield because the Iron Priests tend to be too busy to inquisitorize/forge/preach/study.

They don't get smiths.


What do you think?

How about an Ulm-style flagellant?

Penitent - Similar stats and gold cost to the flagellant, but wears cheap, crude heavy armour which they never remove. High encumbrance, but very suitable for an Earth bless. Wields a hammer. Recruitable everywhere.

I'd give them better magic. Some nations get terrible magic in the late era, others get vast amounts. I don't get it.

On that note, what if the Penitent had a more powerful national summon they propagated? Background-wise, the Penitant who lived and died in their armor, would be welded into it when they no longer could fight. When they died, their spirits would remain locked in the armor, forever serving as undead models of purity, chastity, and self-denial. They'd look like black steel armor with pure light flooding from the seams-kind of sort of maybe a little like the Hellspawn Slayer "The Disciple" from the Spawn series.
