Hi!

Inspired by my current game I'm implementing changes for MA Mictlan, including a couple of new units. These will appear in the next patch (due mid august I hope).

I intend to avoid using these (summoning and recruiting) in the Armadillo game, but the basic mictlan priest will be affected by one of the changes. They will have a chance to have air magic. This bugs me a bit, since I cannot refrain from buying these. Thus I will have access to more air magic than I'm supposed to. I intend to avoid using them to forge items etc, but they will have access to lvl 1 air magic in battles.

I hope this is OK with you.
I have no problem at all with this and hope you have time to try out other nations which could do with a little 'something' extra in the future.

It would be good if the developers just played the first 30 turns or so of some nations and then if you lack time for the later game, hand over to a sub. It will give you inspiration and get those creative juices flowing.

- Aha, the Lawgiver hear the trembling of a frightened Caelum. Soon you will be devoured as well!

- Please ignore the voice of the horror that calls you from the broken tomb. The priests of Mictlan has no ill will towards your proud nation. The horror from the crypt is in no position to devour your nation.

Hmm, is it common to ask for subs? I see your point about me playing several nations 30 turns, but there is also a point of me continuing. I have never played a game which lasted more than 60 turns IIRC. It was long time since I played MP and I hae always played with victory conditions. Either VP's or cumulative VP's (my personal favourite). So it is quite educational playing with more powerful spells than I'm used to. I have never faced a tartarian, only seen arcane nexus and utterdark in dom-ppp, where research was quicker. I also tended to play with slow research in dom2, to avoid the great impact of magic.

I intend to focus on MA Ulm next. Quantum Mechanic invited me for blizing this weekend. I will most likely be there (although it might depend on if JK returns from India). Feel free to join for some gaming and IRCing (which I'm not very used to ).

Hmm, I'm still not entirely comfortable using the patch, at least not against my current enemies.

I think I will do as follows: I will avoid from using the patch in my current wars and give the rest of you knowledge of what has been altered, so you can prepare, should you feel inclined to attack me.

Heroes: two shape shifting coatls, one with 3N3S3P2F and one 3N3S3P2A. Unlikely to appear, since my scales are unlucky.

Sky Priest: 2A2P flying, 160g, home only.
Mictlan priest: FWNS random -> FAWNS random

Jade Serpent: Sacred summon. 2W, Conj 4, 5 gems, about as powerful a sea serpent, but no fear, can enter water, sacred.

Eagle Warriors: Something will happen to eagle warriors. Either loose home only, or switch home only with jaguar warriors. Compensates MA a bit for not having easy access to sacred demon fliers. A bit worried that it is too powerful though. They are pretty offensive with heavy blesses.

Moon warrior: Nonsacred heavy (by mictlan standards) elite infantry. Scale hauberk, 2h obsidian sword, 50 darkvision, 12 MR. No ranged weapon. Recruitable anywhere.

I'm thinking about possible changes on the Coatl, but nothing so far. I have an idea of separating the coatl of Mictlan from the c'tissian one.

Oops, I staled again (I'm subbing for my old nation of Atlantis since Remmy has disappeared). Sorry, major error! I'm getting unusually confused since the e-mails are still set to go to Remmy's address. Think I will switch it back to me, since he shows no signs of reappearing.

PS Mictlan stuff sounds great, and I have no concerns about it at all. Thanks so much for working on it!

Horror!

The hopes of Mictlan might forever have been crushed! The Saviour is nom More! Great GrayZ, the Rider of Clouds is riding clouds no more, destroyed by the monstrosity from the grave, Prince of Pestilence. We are now without divine guidance and unable but to follow the lead the Persecutor and Destroyer of Youth.

Totl now treads the red carpet prepared for Him Who Was at the Center, He Who Is no More, rmemembered be His name.

All Hail Totl, Lord of Light, Enemy of Darkness!

I am out all day tomorrow, so can I request a 6 hr or so extension, ie host at 2200 hrs instead of the current 1600 hrs?

I should be able to do my turn then.
