ArcoBlood Mod Finished

I finished my ArcoBlood mod, complete with banner and descriptions. What do I need to do to get to Illwinter?

Send the mod (and few pure-blooded virgins) to [email protected], and post the mod to the forum as an attachment.

I have a goat; will that do?

You modded the Priestess from NHHH to NBHH. Shouldn't she be unholy to fit with a blood theme?

Name me a single Blood nation that has Unholy, rather than Holy, priests.

I can't think of one.

Arryn · #6 March 23rd, 2005, 08:56 PM

Good point. All Blood nations should be Unholy. That they currently aren't seems (to me) more than a bit unthematic.

Would you like me to make that mod, Arryn?

That would be quite easy, though I don't think you can make 'unholy sacred' units or commanders.

Mictlan would get a serious upgrade if this was done, I'd think.

Blood magic requires living sacrifices, while unholy priests are more concerned with digging up corpses. Also, I'd wonder what kind of balance issues would arise by making Abysia, Diabolical Faith Marignon (Who should never be unholy priests), Vanheim, Mictlan, Jotunheim and the other nations have unholy priests.

To be honest, Graeme? The 'balance' of Dominions II is so far out of whack, does anyone really care what kind of changes are made to it?

Arryn · #10 March 23rd, 2005, 09:36 PM

Ahem. Methinks that Saber Cherry and Zen might take exception to that last statement about "not caring". They've put an awful lot of work into their respective mods, as have those players who've been giving them feedback. I think you're selling the Dom 2 community a bit short.

My comments were from a purely thematic (aka role-play) perspective. As with any changes to Dom 2, one should look at what effect it'll have on balance. However, where I might disagree with GD is in that I'll take thematic color over balance, whilst I doubt many others would (or should). Hence I'll withdraw any suggestion to change things to Unholy, so as to keep the peace, and to remain in line with all the other Holy-yet-bloodthirsty nations.
