Thank you for the Origian map or whatever that big one is.

Thank you for making default Pangaea even more of what I thought Pangaea was doing interesting. (bigger better sneak army)

I still miss my Lord of Night but the other new gods are interesting.

Pangaea Longbows (centaurs) dont seem to have an option to fire at the rearmost?

And I know Harpys were toned down as patrollers but then you made speed a patrolling factor. Harpys have a speed of 4 ?!?

What I want to know (while I wait) is:

1) Does it have a sh*tload of maps? Including the European one?

and

2) Is there more music than is in the demo?

'k. I was wondering about this since, say, Desert Tombs cost *200*. So dead Ermor will still be able to go crazy with magic on the pretender. Cool.

Ctis, Marginon, and Abyisa at a minimum, and probably Tien Chi as well.
Mictlan, too, IIRC (although he can't preach). And they have sabbath access, so on the battlefield they can go above 4 (like Pythium).

Oh, and Atlantis. Don't forget them.

Just curious.
How did you get the game so fast?
Is there a way to check the order's status at USPS?

TIA

I got mine Last night via USPS (ordered in September).

Doesn't have a bunch of maps, but there's a very nice small Britain one and a large portion of SP scenarios.

I'm at work now, but it's slow and I'm looking for neat stuff in the manual to post...

The new Full Battlefield Wards (like Warriors of Muspelheim, Warriors of Niefelheim) are Enchantment 8, 100- Fatigue, 1 Gem.

More interesting are the Army of Gold and Army of Lead spells, with 600- and 700- Fatigue costs respectively (6 and 7 gems apiece), which make armies resistant to the appropriate type of damage. These are Earth spells... wonder if they might be feasible for late-game Ulm to make them more effective versus magic?

Strands of Arcane Power
Evo 9, Astral 7, Ritual
70 Gems

This mighty enchantment enables the caster to project his mind to many distant places at once, via strands of arcane power. While projected, the caster will only be able to sense and affect magic, but this still makes it possible to search for magic sites and enemy mages. The caster will be able to project himself into all provinces that have a friendly dominion.

[long disclaimer text about mind-dueling everyone in a five mile radius and having worse sitesearching when astrally projected clipped]

Multiple sitesearches!? Mind you, Evo 9/Astral 7 probably means you've already searched most of the sites around, but this still sounds like a dream come true
