Yes, this would work fine. I didn't consider that before.

Ha my editing ninja'd you, or the reverse... it's all madness in this thread.

Rdonj: regarding non-markata. You need someone to forge gear for all those markata thugs!

I say that calling them thugs is a total understatement; there's no SC in the game who could slow a markata scout for more than a couple of turns.

What?!? Killing him? The simple thought fills me with ilarity.

Okay, here is what I'm going to do. First, you are right, the way I was just doing it was a complete waste of my time. I'll go and build the nation from scratch. Quick, easy, and then I can have pyg make 5 quadrillion copies no problem.

Second, there will be a markata mage. It was suggested that I give it a 100% chance of wesn. This can be changed, but they will probably only have 1 magic path. If you want to make them better you will have to empower them like a serious markata user. That will prevent you from empowering as many markata scout SCs, but it is a necessary evil.

[Squirrelloid]

Maybe 100% wesn 100%fadb? That way you can get access to all the paths without too much stupid.

Actually, in order to make *real* markata paths more likely, maybe make the secondary 10%?

[rdonj]

Yeah, the 10% is probably fine.

Okay, the monkey mod is almost finished. I'm just waiting on a couple sprites from sombre, I may make a hero out of the longdead markata sprite, and then I'll be done. Hopefully pyg's script can do what needs to be done here without too much difficulty.

I had to put in a priest also, because dominions more or less requires them. I'm a bit worried I may have made them too OP though, so I made them cap only. Hopefully that will prevent them from being the only unit made ever. We'll see.

Also the pretenders (Markata Kings) are pretty badass. They have a really cool special weapon, very nice stats, and even better armor than normal markata.

Attached is a mod with markata as a combined unit. Parts of it could be adapted for this game.

Here's another little bit.

Markatanana!

To anyone who is paying attention to this thread, this is the sprite that will be used for the markata priest
