Aha. I guess the Gilgamesh reference is lost in the spell then. Pity.

Mmm, Gilgamesh, Enkidu, Babylonian or was it Sumerian mythology? ( Weren't Babylonian & Mithraism based on Sumerian? )

Hmmm. Was the Visitor the spell that had a Gilgamesh reference? Only one I noticed that might've been it, but that concept comes up pretty often in legend/myth/SF.

I don't know about the myth, but I thought the spell in question was Scorpion Men.

Thanks, Meglobob! One Devourer of Souls coming in!

All the JPG screenshots lose surprising amount of detail. You did notice when I claimed that the image size had been doubled again, didn't you? All the fantastic sprites like this one are the reason.
EDIT:
In case someone DIDN'T notice, the resolution has stayed the same. The units look much better, but the tools haven't changed. That means we've got one extremely talented artist working for the game!

Endo what is the biggest allowed sprite size in Doms 3.? I thought that 128x128, or is it 256x256? That would be fantastic.

128x128

That's what the modding manual states, and since the boundaries haven't changed, I'd think that 256x256 creatures couldn't fit on the description window. Imagine something like the Devourer of Souls, but twice as big.

Yeah, I guess that 256x256 would be a bit too much.

Wow! I am currently playing C'tis (my favourite nation so far), my god needs a pet, the devourer would do nicely. I think I would call him 'fluffy', then again, perhaps not... :grin

Cheers.

Sorry, but that is Devourer of Souls. Fluffy is a Destroyer of Worlds.

Interesting that the master smith gets a 10% chance to be exceptional; even a 5% chance to get Astral or Air magic. "Smithing has become equivalent of making a sacrifice to the Lord"... I wonder if that's just flavor text.
