What is new with Marignon?
 

Ok I have to confess Marignon is my favorite nation to play, so what is new with Marignon for Dom II?

Re: What is new with Marignon?
 

They seem to have a new Demon-worshipping theme. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif And yes, I'm serious. The info is in some thread laying around...

I recall reading about the demon-worshipping Marignon. But I tend to play them as a good nation, so not sure if I would use such a theme. Guess I'll just have to wait for the demo http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif .

Marignon has two new dominions: Fires of the Faith and Diabolical Faith.

With Fires of the Faith, the Inquisition is very strong. So strong, in fact, that you get the equivalent of a power-1 priest preaching in every province you own, with their power boosted when it comes to resisting other dominions. It costs 50 points and has its downsides, of course, but NO-ONE EXPECTS THE MARIGNON INQUISITION!!!!!

(OK, sorry, but I *had* to say it!!!!)

With Diabolical Faith, the Inquisition was failing to hold back the Death magic of Ermor, and so made deals with even stronger powers. Unholy forces were unleashed, innocents slaughtered, and the heathens burnt from the face of the land. The price was the ongoing taint of demon-worship in Marignon.

Re: What is new with Marignon?
 

do you have new units in both of these themes? I like Marignon too (must be their cool attitude).

Re: What is new with Marignon?
 

Under Fires of the Faith you have same units as in default theme. However, in my experience, this theme allows your domain to go beyond level 10 (unless changed in most recent patches). Under Diabolical Faith you lose Initiate, Witch Hunter, and Grand Master and get Diabolist (1/1 f/b) and Goethic Master (2/2/2/1 f/b/p/r)

And I suppose its really Goethic, as in the myth, and not Gothic ? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

R is for Random, King of Amber. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Zelazny serie is a must read, do you think we can make a map based on it? It would be difficult to instill Amber background in dominions type games though.
