Uploaded correct Thrall Berserker sprites.

Version 0.19

Added a fifth hero Red Cardinal (copied unique Belphegor[810]) that lowers dominion but automatically summons 5 Thralls (instead of Belphegors militia) and calls another new unit - the Red Monk. Belphegor is unaffected.
The spell "Create Thralls" obviously costs too much. Its not expected that a player will use it. It's there for a flavor and for AI summoning.

You could make it so it didn't cost too much though, couldn't you?

1) No one really uses thralls if they have a choice. Its just a flavor unit.
2) It wouldnt make too much sense if you got 20 Thralls from 5 slaves (I could explain it as a cloning ritual or something but it would feel forced).

Sombre · #39 April 22nd, 2007, 06:37 AM

Well you could just say the blood from 5 slaves is used in a ritual to dominate the minds of 20 villagers. Makes as much sense as 36 slaves or whatever to make a vampire.

People use thralls as chaff in the game, or for patrolling. They aren't entirely useless.

Before I changed the cost to 0 in the recent update the cost for the Thralls was 9gp. Most of the Tetsu cost 10gp and they are better armed and armored. Even if you want to use cheap troops for chaff and patrolling, the Tetsu are much better for this role. They dont get rolled over in the first turn by heavy cavalry like Thralls do. IMHO the Thralls are worthless as a unit.
