Wow, the D9 blessing was changed. How about B9? I sure hope that was changed...

Does size factor into combat calculations at all? I can't recall if that's the case either. If it does, I know there's already a ton of information on unit screens, but I'd love to see size indicated somewhere. Hey, it might be redundant with the icon, but still, I like numbers.

I think I promised some Late Age Arco a while ago.

A Great Conqueror left forth from Arcoscephale... and died. Astrologers were killed because they weren't good enough to keep him alive. Ancient Sibyl seeresses have come to guide the kingdom in these new times. They are skilled in Astral and Nature, and can get Death via randoms. Much has stayed the same (Hoplites, Hypaspists, Heart Companions, Priestesses), but there are few new things.

Finally, some cavalry:

Interesting stuff.

A new order of soldiers is being formed. An interesting combination of Hoplites and Hypaspists, or perhaps Peltasts and Hoplites, or perhaps they are something completely new.

To answer a question asked elsewhere: their spears have a counter-balance. See, there's metal in both ends of that spear!

I'm sure you aren't interested in the latest development of armored elephants or gorillas clad in cerulean blue, so I'll give you a pointer to the mystic power the Sibyls wield:

This is their whole starting gem income, BTW. In Late Age, 4 is the new 5! It's hard to argue with the Magistrates of Man: if a Magister of Mathematics grows bored with you, he'll call the Magister of Theology to "purge" the heretic! It's hard to argue with inquisition.

*chuckle* Way to tease, Endo. You're doing a great job of keeping us interested.

In Late Era Man is the new Marignon? Ah well, it's only a five letter difference.

Not exactly. There are Magister, the scout-engineer-spies who are, pretty often but not always, mages of some kind. Then there are the Magisters Arcane, who are a bit closer to normal mages. Then there are Magisters of Theology. They aren't that good at preaching, but boy do they enjoy a good debate! There are few more interesting commanders as well. Patrol bonus (20) anyone?

In a way, Chelms is the new coming of Golden Era Arcoscephale from the EA.

But good sir, does Chelms have flying contraptions?
