Permanent sub needed for Epic Heroes Game

[Xietor]

Greetings. Even though it has dropped off the front page, the Epic Heroes Mod is in testing. We are testing it in a 12 player mp game. 11 players remain, and 2 are hurting pretty bad.

The good news is one of the races(arcos) doing the hurting needs a sub. Please give GameExtremist a pm if you would be willing to take over his elephant hordes on a permanent basis.

I'd offer, but I have unfair knowledge of my remaining effort to make his life difficult .

I came up with a cool epic hero for LA R'lyeh.

The "Mother Glow" (it's a monster from Roger Zelazny's Lord of Light) is aquatic and immobile. It probably has DSNW, and probably boosts your dominion spread. Maybe it's good at summoning as well - with recuperation and the summoning skill it instantly becomes competitive as the sole user of the void gate.

It's real power is that it is a horrible parasite that lays it's eggs in the minds of it's victims.

The effect is a domsummon for glow touched, who are weak-willed but have mind blasts. When they *die*, you get a Glow, which is an above average void monster, and is sacred, which you get to keep.

Thoughts?

Easily done, and a nice idea. It'd be more interesting as an EA R'lyeh thing though.

[DrPraetorious]

Well, maybe, but in the Early Era there are *lots* of mother glows, not just the one. In the "past" (the middle era, presumably) all but one of their kind are exterminated by the enlightened one (as per the Zelazny novel).

[Endoperez]

I haven't read any Zelazny except Lord Demon. While I liked that, I haven't seen others and don't know anything about Mother Glows.

[Xietor]

it seems like a cool idea Dr. P. We will see. if you want to take a stab at making him i will give him consideration.

I think i will will make major changes to the mod upon completion of the 1st test game. Then i will have a 2nd test game with the remaining nations(plus 2). And then I think I am done.

BTW, was Ctis Epic Hero alive when you took over?

[DrPraetorious]

Oh, yeah, it was, assuming that it was the big serpent thing that summoned plants (?).

It was certainly more useful than his diseased, feebleminded God, but other than that I couldn't say.

[Xietor]

you did know it increased dominion in the province in which it dwelled? Maybe i should have pointed that out before you took them over

[jutetrea]

Xietor, are you going to make a new post with ideas for epic hero updates and/or thoughts about the game? Going to use the old one?
