Bloody EA Pangaea: Unique Blood spells?

[kasnavada]

Well, those are good reasons to be against death magic for EA pangaea. I'll drop the idea then.

(Oh, and I don't think Maenads and blood slaves have anything in common, other than their basic equipment. Diametrical opposites, pretty much.)

I think it's doable. It's mentioned that it's mostly the type of blood, so one or two Maenads might have blood like that. The description of blood slaves on the battlefield also mention that they are drugged into their mindless state and I have no trouble imagining that the Pans know how to make all sorts of different herbal sedatives. Just drug her up to calm her down and poof, instant mindless thrall.

The black satyr idea sounds good. Summonable blood hunters can be a balance issue though, since they can pay for themselves quickly. Or have some drawbacks. Upkeep cost and generate unrest?

I had planned for the Black Satyrs to generate unrest, far quicker than any normal Sneak or Reveler. I guess I just forgot to mention it. Sorry. As an additional small balance precaution, since satyrs are lustful creatures by nature, I suppose raising the slave cost of the spell a bit might be warranted.

Blood slaves are virgins, maenads are maenads.

Nothing that says they couldn't have been virgins before. You just gotta find 'em quick.

Here's what makes a Maenad a Maenad, from wikipedia:

... they indulged in copious amounts of violence, bloodletting, sexual activity, self-intoxication, and mutilation.

Doesn't sound like blood slave material to me.

I'm still amazed at the fact that the lord of the wild and pans are able to make those "copious amounts of sexual activity" several time (up to 17) in a single month.

You should be more amazed at the Revelers. A small group of them can get hundreds of husbands and/or fathers to arms in the span of few months. That would change the poptype if Dominions games lasted long enough. Fortunately for the enemies of Pangaea, 14-16 years would be 160 to 200 game turns.

Who's saying they can't do it all at once?
