Inkpot End

Bad idea. Inkpot End is going to give the DoW disease, which will eventually kill him though it'll cripple him with afflictions first. If you intend to combine disease sites, you need to use either undead or demonic creatures with it.

This requires a water-filled cavern, can we make that happen?

Hum, I can require both "sea" and "cave" terrain types, but I'm not sure thatthey will really work together (I d'ont know if the battlefield will be a cave (with darkness), undersea, or both)

Will have to try

Name: Deep Throat
Province type: cavern, water filled
Commander: Ancient Kraken (earth15, water15, death5, astral5, nature5, fire5) with ring of regeneration, amulet of magic resistance, Master crystal matrix.
Commander: Mind Lord with amulet of reinvigoration, amulet of magic resistance, Slave crystal matrix x 12

Isn't that a little ... excessive ?

Moreover, with such huge magic path already on the kraken, the communion will not be really useful, and will make the mind lors sitting target (communion slaves don't do anyhtin more)

Unit: 48 sea troll slaves

Water Filled Cave
The Sea Underneath

Have Sea trolls the darkvision ability ? If not, and the cave type is used (ie : combat will be under the darkness effect) they will fight almost blind.

Inkpot End

interesting, but do you know that "inkpot end" is a negative site that give nothing but has a chance of spreading diseases to units in the province ?

With such a site known do be in a province named "Whitechapel" with a destroyer of world , it would make human players ignore this province most of the time when it's near them.

... hum, or maybe not : killing the destroyer of worlds could bring good loot if one or more of hit magic items are found after the battle.

Maybe I could also put the "manysites" terrain type as required, so that the province has one known bad site, but a greater chance of other sites ?

At last ! One interesting province without using a pretender type unit, with a good concept and not too hard to take.

I like having some very hard province with good rewards in SP, but having some moer normal ones from you is refreshing.

Isn't Sunken City an underwater site ?

It might be, but it will still work if you place it in a none-watery province. (I did a little test and placing it in plains or forests works just fine, alteast with the knownfeature command)

[Edi]

You can place any site in any terrain with the #feature and #knownfeature commands. This can also result in more than one instance of unique sites appearing on the map, because random assignment happens before parsing the map file.

By the way, the Drakovia province needs to have the unit "corpse man" changed to "Corpse Construct" because that is the proper name for the unit. "Corpse Man" will produce absolutely nothing or will screw up the unit assignment in the map file. If you want a variety of foul spawns, the common ones are numbers 453 - 460. The others I don't remember and I don't have the DB at work.

Thanks Edi.

About all those province suggestion, they are still not listed online because I'm currently working on massive updates on the map editor, but I have noted them all and they will not be forgotten, do not worry.
