Without combing the thread for spoilers, am I supposed to not have any commanders with map move AND magical leadership?

Foodstamp · #2 June 24th, 2007, 11:44 PM

yup

. I will give you a hint though. Summon Nymphs and have them "persuade" commanders to join your forces. Since you did not want to read through the thread, the nation is supposed to play different than any other nation and be very challenging for a human player. The AI ignores the 0 map movement and plays this nation quite well if you want to use it as an enemy in SP games.

P.S. The Change to swarm pretty much broke one of the national spells as far as balance goes. When I update the graphics and overhaul the spells, I will be fixing that.

Thank you for your answer. So no magical leadership. I was confused because I misread the following to hint that there was magical AND mobile leadership. There is certainly pleny of magical leadership, just not mobile. Thanks for clarifying, guess I have to go find and seduce the wolf tribe now. Unfortunately, all I've found are the Amazonian women, and they don't swing that way.

"In order to lead your nonmagical freespawns, you will have to use creative thinking involving the Nymph commander."

Any chance of talking you into modding in an equivalent male commander so I can seduce those hetero amazons?

No way seducing women ATM. The only way to get women (besides the expensive Charm and other such ways) is Belial the Lord of Corruption, who has the Dominate Monster ability.

Dang. And here I was looking forward to hot pixel on pixel action.

It seems a bit odd too, what with all the male gods seducing women in mythology. Swans and streams and bulls oh my!

Lazy_Perfectionist · #7 June 25th, 2007, 12:45 PM

Well, then, it looks look I should try modding Belial, and renaming him Hermaphrodite.

Seriously, though. Do charm and Dominate Monster abilities work from stealth? Or is seduction the only option for that, and changing the gender of the unit doesn't enable the proper seduction.

Unseriously, though, I just wanted to get in that joke since that comment by Sombre. Greek mythology would be right at home on modern day soap operas. Homer's Odyssey would be right at home on Jerry Springer

Thank you for that. We can always use more nations that make use of AI pros and cons.

It would be fun to play with this one set as allies to Pangaea and Oceania. A 3-way empire to play against.
