Black Tome - Alpha 0.2
I've got them costing 18 for 4 at the moment.
They are very powerful troops.
I'm attaching a new version to the root of the thread.

About the blessing hotfix part
The blessing hotfix mod includes a textual description of the entire Mod - but the only thing it actually *does* is change the #spec fields for the five blessing spells so that nations other than Ermor can bless any sacred undead they happen to have. It also allows LA Ermor to bless any sacred living units *they* happen to have.
A (?) in the list below indicates I've never actually seen the unit in play so I'm just guessing who gets it.
As to why this hasn't been changed in the main game - I have no idea. My assumption is: "It's not a bug, it's a feature". /me Shrugs. The impact on gameplay is relatively minor, as a rule.
I did a quick check and didn't notice that they've changed it (and I didn't see any mention in the changelog for the new patch) - if this has changed somehow, please let me know before I make a worse fool of myself.
The following units are affected by this change (becoming blessable):
(All Positions)
Mound Fiend
(LA C'tis)
Grave Consort
Tomb Priest
Tomb King
Tomb Wyrm
First King (?)
Reassembled Prince (?)
(LA Pangaea)
Carrion Lord
Carrion Lady
Carrion Centaur
Ettin Mandragora (?)
Sagittarian Carcass (?)
(Mictlan)
Civateteo
King of Legends (?)
(LA Ulm)
Ghoul Guardian
Ghoul Baron
(T'ien Ch'i, Sauromatia)
Ancestral Spirit
(LA Agartha)
Tomb Oracle
Sepulchral
So, as you can see, it's a fairly big deal for three late age positions - other than that, the main beneficiary is MA Ermor, b/c you can bless your shadow vestals and your thaumaturgs at the same time. There are ongoing complaints that the scripting AI for MA Ermor occasionally does strange things with regards to blessing, which this should also address.

It's currently listed as a major bug (red) in the short list. I thank you profusely for fixing this so I can have a good time as LA Agartha without having to wait for a patch.

Re: Black Tome of Alisophocus / Blessing Hot Fix
I had to bump this mod... it has so much potential and work already into it. Any chance of getting the other eras? Looks like only the Early one is complete, though I haven't looked at it since it was released.

Re: Black Tome of Alisophocus / Blessing Hot Fix
I've done some more work on it, but I am trying to finish my PhD .
As soon as the next patch comes out, assuming nextspell does what I hope it does, I'll be putting considerable additional effort into it.

Biology.
Job market is pretty good, but I don't want to slave away for the Man, so the pay isn't that great.

Re: Black Tome of Alisophocus / Blessing Hot Fix
After seeing what Ph.D.s of any field have to go through to get a job at a university, I pity you both. What you guys do is borderline thankless if your planning to teach, and takes so much dedication and commitment on your part to reach that level, you must all be masochists . Truly is a pursuit fueled by passion for the subject.
