Mod: Arga Dis, Blood and Bronze - NEW VERSION 1.4

[Zentar]

Sombre, we are truly blessed to have your inventive creative brilliance visited upon us again and again. This was a strong bless nation with a little bit of everything (Arcoscephale meets Jotunheim). Now there is even more to enjoy with nice graphics as always.

You also have a new icon. What is that critter smoking?

You seem to have more map and mod ideas than I have accolades to show my appreciation. Please continue to do the things you do.

[Sombre]

Thank you both. The critter I have as my icon is Lazarus Chalmers, Gentleman Experimentor. He's smoking a blend of hashish from the near east, opium from the far east and tobacco from the East End. He walks with a cane following a catastrophic velocipede accident in which he lost his first love, gravity.

Quick bug, the spell to summon an Urtyr Shaman just summons a commander Urtyr. Otherwise the urtyr make a fantastic addition to an already fantastic mod nation. They very much help along the image of the nation as a blood soaked ancient Greece. Maybe that's why I was never really thrilled with the blood wind pretender, there was nothing about it that was particularly Spartan, so it wound up feeling a bit arbitrary. I suppose if I were going to suggest a new one, I'd go with some kind of "restored gilgan" rather than the blood wind. The blood wind didn't make a whole lot of sense, but the gilgans are supposed to be reduced in power since the days before their inprisonment, it'd be pretty awesome to see a goddamn gigantic gilgan that hasn't been diminished taking the lead over his lesser brethren.

Awwww...I really liked the Blood Wind-it wasn't perfect, but it was unique as a Pretender type, and the only Pretender I used with Arga Dis (which I absolutely love), because of that reason.

Any chance you might consider just redoing it, rather than removing Blood Wind?

Arga Dis would be a fun nation to have several different "strange and terrible" Pretender choices, like Blood Wind, because I see it somewhat as a glimpse into a very bloody, barbaric pre-(or atleast formulative)-Olympic Greece that is rarely represented-and the vast Greek Pantheon had some of the godliest monsters and most monstrous gods.

As far as your sickle looking like a crook-well, it is a Greek goat-man, so it doesn't get much more shepherdy than that I suppose

Ah, there's always a little bug or two creeps in.

I'll upload a fixed version at the main post momentarily.

I've basically discovered I don't like doing new pretenders. They never seem to work out well for me. I might come back and do a bigass Gilgan in the future, but for now they'll have to make do with the current pretender selection.

Is there an easy way to switch between two versions of a mod on the same PC? I'd like to check this out, but am currently playing a MP game with Arga Dis, and since it's close to finished I don't want to force my opponents through the hassle of having to update their mods just to suit me.

Edit: The satyr sprites look absolutely frigging awesome by the way.

You can just rename the .dm from Arga Dis.dm to Arga Dis New.dm or something.

Then when you enable the mod make sure you enable the new one. Though it might be a little tricky to tell the new and old versions apart to be honest.
