Edit: Oh yeah, also the national holy spells will stick much better so they're more worth casting (they're meant to be crucial), and the nation will have better initial gem income, with more earth and fire gems. Sacreds will be slightly more expensive. They're meant to be important, but it'd be good if it also made sense to recruit the non-sacred troops.

Have you thought about improving the summon allies ability? It seems pretty useless. The troops have less protection than ermor's freespawn, and you're trading a turn of upkeep + research for one single soldier.

Also, "The Undying" spell says that it regens your skeletons, but I don't see any regen buff on the ones that have the fire resistance buff.

One last comment. I really think the immortal summon spell should make 2-3 of them. It's really, really annoying to have to sit there and summon them one by one. If that is suppose to be a downside, alright, I just find it irritating

I'd rather have the spell be slightly more expensive in gems, then in mage time.

Also, I got the regen to work. Ergh, I thought it was a battlefield wide spell.

I have zero experience with this mod nation, but which other immortal summoning spell in the game summons more than one at a time? I would believe that if immortals could be summoned in masses (and somebody somewhere will have the gems for that) the game map would be *fast* swamped by immortal beings...

I'd like to go with Marignon

virtual · #17 March 7th, 2009, 05:19 AM

I'll try Pangaea.

I'm voting for Alexander.

These immortal units have to be summoned by what will be 500 gold piece mages :|

I think you will find that llama is reluctant to increase the production rate of immortals after he had to kill 100 of them repeatedly in a game he played against me

In all honesty though building up so many is just overkill.

While that didn't answer my question (nice dodging there

), I find it interesting that 500 gold can be seen as a major problem. How many such 500 gold mages would you have at around turn 40? 5, 15, 25? The problem with immortals is that they are sort of un-killable, so they tend to stick around and increase in number no matter how many you get "killed" a turn...
