Terrain does not affect crossbreeding. It does affect transformation.

CB and ICB are affected by ORDER (confirmed) luck (in spell description) and growth (not verified).

I only seem to get more confused , so a Order 3 luck 3 would result in the best crossbreeding hmmm... Then a turmoil 3 actually hurt the crossbreeding results, maybe a balancing mechanic since order/misf and turmoil/luck always goes together?

I'm thinking if order/turmoil scale affects it, it would make a lot of sense if magic/drain scale does also.

What terrain transformation seem to result in better variants by the way? Then again i guess that's subjective, stealth animals, flying monkey, chimeras ...etc all have their good points hmmm....

For void gate, my incomplete testing so far seem to be showing that # of spawns to be D6 not open, with inconclusive evidence that lower numbers are more common. The exception is Vastness, which has spawned in singlets every time I got it. I'll post the full result over the weekend.

oh.. somewhere I saw a table on the frequency of void summons.
I don't remember it, final. While I like void summoning, I don't view it as a winning strategy.

again, on crossbreeding, terrain has no effect. There are 8 or 10 things that are obviously super. They all appear, regardless of terrain.

It may not be a super winning strategy, but its a factor in choosing scales, if the impact happen to be quite significant on types spawned it may tip the balance of decision btween Turmoil/luck vs order/misf.

And for all your help / data, I'll share with you one of my favorite void spawn that I think many overlook (and it is also a reason why I obsess with void gate in addition to the fact that it's just cool), I've PMed it to you, I'll post it to the public once I'm done with my current MP game playing as MA R'yleth I just hope I get it so I can use it...

Also LA R'yleth spawns void monsters in all their province with dominion, so the impact for LA R is potentially significant if you can make more void monsters spawn (also important long term when you loss your population and have no income). I've played LA once with luck scale and enjoyed getting random batchs of void monsters.

yeah.. I don't think luck affect void summons. it might affect La-R void spawns.

I always find the immovable spawns that consume food to be pain in the ###.

As part of the Balance mod, someday, I'm going to mod all LA-R monsters to be amphibious and movable to lessen a little bit the la-r micro managament hell. I may or may not subtract a hp or two to balance it out.
