Huh... maybe it's just me, but it looks like LA Pangaea is actually buggy. Doing a bit of SP test, it looks like Quick Roots actually has no effect whatsoever on manikin.

Oh well, guess I'm stuck with them! Give me a little more time pretender planning though...

Sure thing.

And the quick roots thing is not so bad in the light that almost every nation has at least something that is not working.

4 pretenders out of 8 in. When everyone has sent theirs I will start the game.

I found this "hotfix" for blessings. Anyone now more about it?

If I recall correctly I played in a game where it was in play, but in that game I played Man, and it had no effect for them. Mainly I think it's for undead blessing, and has some spells that are cool. If we would use this I would be happy, and I would make a new pretender design. I think that with NNNNSS in the pretender design Contact Fungus would make a very good spell. Not to mention the ability to summon some very good cavalry for Ermor. (Eternal Knights, that are ethereal)
So I vote a BIG YES!

Since I sent you my pretender design half a day ago, if you think that the book mod's spells are overpowered, then I will not make a new pretender design, and without that I think we can agree on the mod more easily.

I have no problem with the bless fix per se, but I do have a problem with those spells. They are certainly cool, but that's the problem: nations are pretty well balanced (while I agree Marveni is too weak, LA Ermor is not), anything cool that pumps up one nation is likely to be unbalancing. Contact Fungus absolutely would make a good spell... but again that's the problem, it adds a powerful new tactic to one nation.

Ermor would become significantly more powerful if it has a bonus extra spell to buff up all undead on the battlefield in a whole new (and very strong) way. I don't think we should use mods that provide one nation with a major extra edge.

I can assure you, that in my actual pretender design there is no NNNN, and I promise I will not use that particular spell.

Plus, there are 4 mods in the BlackTome package:
BlackTome.dm <-- that enables Blessing to affect Undead.
(no new spells, spells modified: Blessing, Divine Blessing, 105, 109, 112
The other 3 (BlackTome_E.dm, BlackTome_M.dm, BlackTome_L.dm) contains the new spells. So I we decide only to use the hotfix, then only the blacktome.dm should be used.
