Divine Serpent man only?

Can we get a water-path pretender for man?

While we're at it .. there aren't much landlubbers left with a skill in water .. I really miss the Daughter of the River.

Why was she changed to Mother of Tuatha / Lady of Luck (which man doesn't get as well?)

And the Mother of Tuatha is correct as far as the game-logic is concerned (glamor = illusions = air), but is thoroughly wrong as far as mythology goes. Danoine Sidhe (which are in fact Tuatha de Dannan, or Danoine, childs of the godess DANA, also called the "seely sidhe" ?sp?) don't have that much to do with Air Magic, but with nature, water, earth, blood and death. Fire and Air is more the way of the Fomorians ("unseely sidhe" ?sp?), which are somehow related to the Alfar, or Alben (which gave the name to Tolkiens Elven Folk .. very much like the Dwarves from Tyrol - King Laurin and his Rose Garden - where the templates for . guess whom?

)

So .. can we get another water-path pretender besides the Frost Father, especially but not exclusivly, for Man?

The daughter is still there, but she has been restricted by the thematic-god-restrictor (myself

) to a few nations.

* Edit: Air magic is the way illusions and glamour is represented in dominions. Thats the main reason tuatha has air magic. Mythological magicians have powers over most aspects of life, nature, emotions, death, fate, elements, etc. *

Now your talking, excellent ideas...Ermor with it's very different themes shoud have a few more Pretender choices!

Yes. How about a large black ethereal cloud with drain life attacks? Or a levitating skull? Or an immobile graveyard and/or crypt? Or a giant pit with foul vapors coming out of it?

Im glad others think Green Man would work tofill the 3nature need of Man.

I would also like to see something more "animal" for Pangaea. It has lords of the bacchanal and lords of the plant. I wonder if the Lord of the Wild Hunt would work?

Subnote. I think that one guys cornucopia could have been more weaponish. How about filling the enemys bellys till they cant move (+20 fatigure per hit?)

Who is on the list that doesnt have 1 or 2 special gods?

I know the Vastness is based on Yog-Sothoth, but really, he was always my favorite Cthulhu god.

As for Man... well, hmmm. I don't know about nature magic. Given the druidic elements a Version of Pan would be appropriate. (Do they get the fertility god?) But a definitely perfect theme god for them would be the High King. Regular size, not a good mage, but with massive attack and defense skill - possibly a special weapon 'Excalibur' since you're modding, although I don't know if you can give someone varying levels of regen. Should be pretty massive on him, since Excalibur was supposed to protect him from harm. Putting it on the weapon would be cute, too, since if you gave him another weapon - poof, no more regen. Maybe if his dominion is high he spontaneously generates knights, like the ghost king does ghosts.

Sorry. I can come up with these bloody things all day. It's ideas that suit a particular need that are harder. And hardest of all, of course - actually coding these guys.
