Underwater Defence?

[Thanatus del Dragos]

How do you mod in Underwater Defence for a new nation that doesn't start underwater. Like what EA Agartha, LA Atlantis or LA Jomon has? Thanks.

[Foodstamp]

You would have to overwrite the nation. The modding commands only allow for underwater PD for underwater nations.

[Thanatus del Dragos]

Haha, thanks, I tried about half a dozen different commands to get it to work. Oh well.

I feel it might be more interesting to instead mod in a series of summonables, that could serve as an underwater defense-proxy. Something that would perhaps build up over time (there are some options for this), but that would eat gems, and mages, instead of gold.

[Gregstrom]

Shame that's not possible, though. Well... you can have summonables that kill the caster, thinking about it.

[HoneyBadger]

Oh I didn't mean physically eat mages. I meant you'd assign mages the task of summoning the critters, using up their time, and potentially putting them, physically, in a vulnerable position on the map, until such time as their task was completed.

[Nikelaos]

the problem I see to using summonable alternatives to pd is that with normal pd it would cost more to go from 10 to 11 than 1 to 2, when summoning it always costs the same and there is no limit to how much you could have there. I feel there is a risk of it being abused giving excessive protection for little relative cost.

[HoneyBadger]

Such a thing wouldn't be any more abusable than any other summonable.

If you want to be really harsh, in terms of balance, you could always require multiple one-way shapeshifting, to improve the "PD". Say, 10 rounds of shapeshift, and on the 11th round, the critters sortof "evolve".

It's micro-hell, even for me, but it might be interesting, otherwise.
