Re: Gath, dev diary or something
I decided to make only six. In the references the leaders range from 10 to 11 to 20 and the total of watchers range from 100 to 200 IIRC.
They are a bit overlapping. Kokabel teaches the constellations and Barakiel the stars. I decided it was enough with one guy teaching astral magic. WIth six uniques there will not be too many of them running around in the game. Also their Nephilim progeny can have skills and references to their respective father.

Re: Gath, dev diary or something
What is Sephiroth (apart from the ten emanations of god in Kabbalah)? Some kind of final fantasy monster?
I have thought about doing a Sephirah pretender.

Let's see if I can guess what you've come up with.
*checks Wikipedia entry on Grigori*
Lesse, we've got Azazel (death, maybe earth and blood), Kokabiel/Baraqel (astral, maybe death), Araqiel (earth, maybe astral and nature), Chazaqiel (air, maybe water), Shamsiel (fire, maybe astral), and Samyaza (because even though Armaros/Penemue has a more distinctive niche, Samyaza is too big of a name to pass up).

That's one way to understate it.

Re: Gath, dev diary or something
Sephiroth is a boring 2 dimensional 'cool' emo villain in the game Final Fantasy 7 who is reckoned to be the 'best villain ever' by the same kind of people who were blown away by the philosophical 'depth' of the Matrix films.
In short, he's a neo-nerd idiot icon ;]

He got lucky to be around right when the Web reached critical mass. Not wearing as much makeup as Kefka might have helped also.

Agreed, except I liked the Matrix films. They were fun.

Only the first one was any good. It set up really high expectations, and the later films just failed to deliver.

Re: Gath, dev diary or something
Looks great!
So, if and when you feel like sending them my way, I would gladly proofread the descriptions, Kristoffer.

Re: Gath, dev diary or something
I've thought about that and I'm almost finished. Made a couple of new ones today, but you might expect them soon. I think there are about 80 or 90 or so for you to read. I've changed many of them since last time.

Re: Gath, dev diary or something
I cannot wait to play these nations! They seem so cool. and I have especially enjoyed the nations that have been added lately...especially Formoria and Tir na n'Og...Go Celtic myths!
