Suggestion for new Cave Units. - Page 4

Well, the stats should probably be balanced more scientifically than I'm currently capable of. I can't easily compare them to what's already in the game, which makes it hard. I just wanted to have something in place, incase any new people wanted to use them, and didn't know where to begin.

Oh come on, you don't have a good working idea of how a Glyptodon compares to a Kraken? Pshhhh.....

HoneyBadger · #33 August 1st, 2008, 02:49 AM

Well, I'm sure a glyptodon would make a nice snack for the kraken...

I had the thought that it might be cool to have elemental versions of existing creatures, as Independents. Like a Hydra earth elemental, or giant ants of elemental fire.

Probably would be too much. Prehistoric mammals are good enough, but right now I am not sure where to place them in the game context... But maybe some use will show itself - there was an idea about "prehistoric" mod with cavemen replacing humans as main race (Gandalf's, I believe)...

Mine too, I'm afraid...

I think prehistoric creatures-atleast in terms of within the last 30,000 years-ought to just show up occasionally as EA Independents-they'd just be survivors. If we ever get a magic system that's Age-specific, then maybe they can be generic summons, also.

Can we currently mod in generic (non national) spells? I think we can...if so, it could be worked around by creating an EA mod with those types of summons.

Maybe someone should just make a Caveman nation and give them prehistoric critter national summons and recruits?

That would be so awesome. "Cromagnia - Land of the Lost"

Sloth riders, and 6 foot dragonflies, and Allosaurs covered in pungi sticks!

Land of the Lost, eh? Someday I'm gonna have to buy the original series on DVD. That show was freaky weird.

I'd recommend doing a mod nation combining cavemen with elements from Land of the Lost, except that I'm already working (not very hard) on a nation that summons creatures from the past and the future. It's Lovecraftian, though, based on the Fungi from Yuggoth.

Still, a Land of the Lost nation could be really interesting-with Sleestaks, Altrusians, those crystal matrixes they used sometimes, pylons, skylons, the Library of Skulls, dinosaur summons, invisible aliens, and other weirdness.

What Allosaurs did to you??! :P
Considering initial question - iirc, generic spells can be modded in quite readily. It's adding them for only part of nations which can be tricky...

Would a moderator (or anybody else with a few minutes on their hands) mind posting the image of the Hyaenadon into my Aksum thread? I can't download it, and I've since lost the original. Preferrably as a .jpg. I don't seem to be able to retrieve other file types.
