So we're just sticking with Path 4 as the limit, Endoperez? Was that what you were agreeing to?

Yes, for the reasons Stavis L mentioned. As I said (at least in the post that vanished to the cyberspace), his thoughts about this mod match mine almost perfectly.

Your new sites won't work. Sites have maximum of 4 features, while both of yours have 8. In addition, I don't know how to price recruitable undead. Mohenjo-Doro could be done as a "Death mage may enter to summon X", but that can't be modded.

Thanks for the thanks

A couple comments...

Perhaps this would be better as Terrain = Waste?

Secondly, and this is less of a concern for contributors, and more of one for you as you wrap them up; if there are *too* many scales boosting sites, it tends to mitigate the impact of Pretender scales. It could probably stand to be a lot larger percentage than is currently in the game, but imagine if e.g. 25% of sites had scales effects, and there are an average of ~2 sites per territory; it'll be quite a change. Just a thought.

I'll probably change it. I did it that way to have it symmetrical with Wailing Aurora, but deserts should equal wastes gameplay-wise.

Desert of Ghostly Wails and Wailing Aurora were inspired by infrasound, btw. It's too low to be heard, but causes a general spooky feeling and might be responsible for some ghost stories.

I love this thread.
Ive been considering requesting an addition to the SemiRandom project.
Not only for it to add player-created provinces, and player created gods for the AIs.. but also to generate a semi-random mod. Adding random nation choices as AIs, adding new spells, new items, and now this could be the basis of randomly adding new sites to the game.

Can a site do semi-events?

Name: Unleashed Death
Path: Death 4
Terrain: Cave
Freq: 2(rare)
Recruitables: (none)
Recruitable Commanders: (none)
Gems: (none)
Gold Bonus: (none)
Resource Bonus: (none)
Scales: -Order
When discovered it would release an Eater of the Dead.

That would probably be an event (like the Troglodyte event and Deepest Cave). Sites don't do stuff when they're found.

For the purposes of this site, I would put Krakens at 90 gold, and Kraken kings at 270 gold.


HoneyBadger,

I really like this one, but I wanted to let you know that there is a site with recruitable Krakens called "Kraken Pit". This means they may already have a gold cost.
