Mod: Conceptual Balance 1.21

Maybe you should restore Bone Grinding, my 8D mages spam it a lot and butchered there own army, unless there is a hint for prevent that ?

[TheMenacer]

I have to say that while making LA Agartha's top level necromancers capital only is perfectly fine because those guys are completely nuts, the second tier mages should be stepped up a bit because as it stands you're paying something like another 40 gold and taking a unit with old age for all of one level of priest magic, which is pretty situational. Something to make the choice between the two non-capital only necromancers a little less obvious would make sense I think, maybe more death/earth so that they could summon nearly as well as a ktonian necromancer, but no fire so they couldn't bust out the crazy evocations as much.

You have a point that the servant of the oracles doesn't have a lot of use as is... a d/e random might even things out.

As for bone grinding, I must admit I hadn't anticipated that being a problem. One doesn't usually have that high of death mages lying about without a script, and I would have thought the very high fatigue would discourage AI use in any case. If it's a common problem though, I could certainly change it back.

I'm almost certain that you've covered this before - and I'm not questioning your decision, because you're far better than me at this game - but what was the reasoning behind removing sacred from all Niefelheim's recruitables?

[Sombre]

Here's the Niefelheim code.

--Niefelhiem EA

-Hurlers
#selectmonster 1305
#def 9
#end

-Niefel Giant
#selectmonster 845
#clearspec
#coldpower 1
#cold
#coldres 100
#fireres -50
#end

-Jotun Spearmen
#selectmonster 1303
#end

-Jotun Javelinist
#selectmonster 1304
#mor 13
#end

-Jotun Skin Shifters
#selectmonster 1310
#gcost 90
#end

-Jotun Herse
#selectmonster 1301
#gcost 50
#end


By using clearspec sacred and other abilities are removed. qm then puts cold immunity, fire weakness, coldpower and chill back,.. but the chill is 3 rather than 15, which is a huge difference. Also no sacred put back.

I'm not sure if this is intended or not. I doubt it is. I'd never realised how nerfed the niefels were in this cbm, anyway.

[HoneyBadger]

Niefels without sacred is like pizza without cheese. Toast, basically.

[quantum_mechani]

Removing sacredness is most certainly not intended. I did intend to lower the chill, and it's unfortunate that it is not possible to set custom chill levels.
