Oh - how do you specify which Twin Spear is given? I keep getting the blood/astral one every time doing my tests.
Unfortunately my efforts to assign the death based Twin Spear have failed. I just posted in the modding forums for help but given my experience I think the problem may be unsolvable. We should start thinking about what item to replace that spear with... I'm certainly open to suggestions on this one!

I've suggested a Wraith Crown to Ironhawk, for the following reasons:

Like the Twin Spear, it gives a bit of undead in a battle, and with Ermor starting with the Body Ethereal spell, the etherealness isn't that big a deal, especially with human pretenders / no dead themes. Also, nice and thematic for Ermor. Posting it here also to see if anyone has objections. (Second choice : ring of sorcery. Third : Soulstone of the Wolves )

Oh - may I suggest changing the starting provinces in the .map file before the game? That way, no one knows where the other nations are, since only the host needs the modified map file.

The .map file that everyone currently has is only the version released for testing. Starting locations for all nations were just some random provs I clicked on with the mouse. I am sending the .map away now to a third party (who isnt playing in this game) who will randomize all the start locations. That way no one will have any advanced knowledge.

Everyone begin preparing your pretenders now. Lets try and shoot for a Monday or Tuesday start for this game!

twin spear of death is the good one (cause it doesn't horror mark you)

the real advantage of twin spears is that they are a long weapon with an interesting effect - but also they give luck.

Would be a difficult thing to replace

I wonder how's it possible that Caelum wasn't claimed yet?
I therefore claim Caelum.

The rules specify a human pretender and non pop killing dom. themes. Are there additional rules?

Where can I d/l the artifact mod?
When should pretender be ready?
