Mod: New Nation: Hellgate

[Amos]

Version 0.04

LE Demonic nation.

With the end of the Angelic Wars and the dissolution of the alliance with Nephilim, some of the demons that fought in the wars were allowed to remain. A plan was conceived by the Princes of Hell - to use those demons as a means by which more demons could escape. The remaining demons were charged with finding the weakest boundary between Hell and this realm. They were to construct a city on that spot and create a portal through which the demons will pour into this world. The spot was found, the city built and the Hellgate created. Now with the assistance of Hellions, children of demon and man, the path to escape and conquest can be opened for the demonic hordes. In order to speed up the Great Migration the inhabitants of the city have been allowed to specialize only in the ritualistic blood magic. There is no holiness to be found in New Gehenna since it is an extension of Hell.

:'( Amos!!! we love your mods! we'll help you brainstorm more ideas!

[Amos]

I dont lack ideas Thats why I highlighted "wanted" I'm just repeating myself at this point. How many guys with swords can you make?

[llamabeast]

What do you mean Amos?

[Juzza]

Start giving them different weapons! problem solved!

[Amos]

I mean how many different kinds of guys with swords can you make before they all start to look alike? All the truly original mods are already made. I looked at my latest mod and it looked just like the previous few.

Start giving them different weapons! problem solved!

I tried that in my "Travelers" mod. But its still swords and axes no matter what you call them.

Perhaps you could focus on spell modding or even mapping, if you need a change of pace/scenery.

I think it's good to take a break, go back and update older mods sometimes though.

This I do not understand at all, every mod I personally work on, or someone else's mod I try, gives me enough material and ideas to create two more. Even if I had a hundred fold more time than I do now, I don't think I would be ever done.

My advice to you, (if you really want to keep at it, and not actually go for a break, which is perfectly fine, and probably healthy, considering your prodigious output) try examining a mythology you're unfamiliar with. Or watch the history channel, or examine fantasy games and worlds you like, or pick up some fantasy book you've been putting off, or read an online developer diary about ideas that were left unused.

There are plenty of sources, and yes, many things are impossible to recreate in Dominions, but just as many are possible.

You know, with all the 'alien' races being thrown about here, why not make something along those lines? You could go down the Buck Rogers route, complete with zap guns and Hot Green Alien Women� who, like the succubus, could kidnap enemy commanders . You could also go 'classic sci-fi' and have Martians in their war tripods zapping everyone in their way. Or you could take inspiration from relatively serious sci-fi, and fit in Cylons or Star Wars aliens.

Daleks might be a bit much though, except as Pretender Gods

I'd like to see a Barsoom nation of green martians, with John Carter the Gentleman from Virginia and Dejah Thoris the Princess in Peril as two of the heroes.

For those uninitiated, go read Burrough's Princess of Mars from Project Gutenberg.
