Tartarian factory

At least in Dom I, if memory serves the way the 'site frequency' deal worked was that there was an X probability of having _one_ site there, and as long as the check said 'yes' another roll with the same probability took place to possibly add another one, up to a maximum of four.

Isn't the whole Tartarian Gate abusing thing just tied to the - not normal IMHO- possibility for Priestesses to heal afflictions on ... Undead beings ?
It would make sense to make healing only possible for *living* things, no undead or construct (maybe it already doesn't work on constructs), no ?

Cute idea. [Edit: for Priestesses only - or your undead pretender would be in trouble]

Agree. That'll be a fix of the game system which help this issue.

Two possibilities here: (1) Lifeless units only. The power of golem and other constructs will be decreased; (2) Lifeless *and* undead units. Some powerful undeads will also be affected, noticebly Prince of Dead, Wraithlords. But either way, since only Arco have easy access to healing, the effects on other nations will be limited. Prince of Dead will be less attractive as a pretender choice but it's already powerful enougth - no big deal there.

But still, it bugs me to see so many dead gods walking around for summoning . Let's make them unique .

BTW, what is the mythological source of the word Tartarian?

I believe it's Greek. If I'm not mistaken, Tartarus was the name of one of the parts of Hades...perhaps the area just before the gates of Hades? Guarded by the Cerberus?

Regarding Tartarus, Wikipedia is your friend.
(Ooh, Hecatonchires with 50 helmet slots and 100 arm slots? Hm.)

Ah...LOWER than Hades. Well, at least I was right about it being Greek.
