Sons of Kaleva, a Kalevala mod

[Endoperez]

However, I can't make it unique if I copystats a non-unique creature for its powers. Lady of Fortune etc luck-increasers aren't unique. The monkey summon that increases magic scale isn't unique. Can't do, sorry.

How's this mod going, Endoperez? Especially now that we're getting unique tag. Having been introduced to the Kalevala (haven't read it through yet, but I will), I'm interested.

[Endoperez]

Weak.

I start something, then run out of steam. Both with this, and with the arabian nights mods I was helping with.

I still have my notes, so I could pick up from where I left this... However, I also have notes on two other mods that never got even this far.

I might get a little more progress on this, but we'll see.

That is a shame. I was so looking forward to a Kalevala mod.

Such heroes! Kullervo, Lemminkainen, Vainimoinen.

[Endoperez]

Heroes aren't hard, everything but heroes is. I don't know nearly enough about Finnish history to create several different types of semi-historical units.

[Lingchih]

I must confess, you have me there Endo. I know nothing about the average Finnish warrior of that time. I only know about what the Kallevala told me about their heroes.

I would have to guess that the normal Finn troops were somewhat along the lines of Vikings? But perhaps less well-equipped, although having easier access to low level mages (captains)? Perhaps lvl 1 W, or W1 plus A1?

[Endoperez]

I have ideas for the mages, but the basic troops... I don't know anything, so I could just as well use huskarls. Hakkapelite cavalry was later invention, but I also use it; I think I'll also add something like LA Ulm rangers: stealthy foresters with crossbows.
