Re: Nation Mod - Tomb Kings - Released!
I had an idea for a Pretender: Living Curse.
immortal, dom 2, 1 death, 1 blood, 80 points for new path.
Fear 0 (plus bonus for death), 1 hp, att 25, def 15, prot 0. 1 attack-range 1 touch causes curse, decay, and weakness.
Casts Darkness at the beginning of battles. Causes unrest. Etherial, Flying, Stealth 25. move 3 battlemove 30. Blind. No slots. Cost: 125.
Shaped like a living cloud of darkness with a crimson center.
Description:
"For thousands of years the souls of unquiet dead have stood guard over the treasures of the Tomb Kings. That has been their only purpose, their only salvation and path to Paradise. That purpose has become their religion, and from the strength of their unending vigilance a malevolent entity has arisen. A cloud of sacred hatred and holy greed which has, over the centuries, gained a malevolent sentience, and now, out of a will to possess the very world around it, seeks to become a god. Death flies on swift wings!"

Re: Nation Mod - Tomb Kings - Released!
Make it domstr 2, prot 0, and price it at 125.

Re: Nation Mod - Tomb Kings - Released!
1hp, prot 0? Militia would kill it in seconds, even if it is ethereal.
I'm not sure I get it anyway. I await the description.

Re: Nation Mod - Tomb Kings - Released!
That's why you have to protect it. The Darkness is the real core ability, the rest is just thematic. Besides, you're forgetting about Dominion hp boost-keep it high.
It's really no different than running a Crone or other low hp rainbow mage.

Re: Nation Mod - Tomb Kings - Released!
Aha, I've just remembered that Tomb Kings are undead! 
Okay yep, Darkness is super powerful then. I would worry it was too powerful, in fact. |

Yeah, especially while the BE bug is around where a fleeing caster's enchantment stays up in the battle permanently.

Re: Nation Mod - Tomb Kings - Released!
That's very true. I was hoping that the high point cost and very low hp would allow such a Pretender to be used as the center of a different than vanilla strategy, rather than just increasing the power of the nation overmuch.
Maybe if the Living Curse were immobile? That would help protect against bless rushes in the early game, but delay the darkness power from becoming a major boost until Teleportation spells become accessible.

Re: Nation Mod - Tomb Kings - Released!
Hi. I've been using this nation in the TigerCat MP game, and have been very happy with it.
The new patch have removed all magic paths from my recruitable mages and priests though. Hope llamabeast can rework this soon. Thanks!
