Alstein: " One crazier idea I had in ghd pzxg, though it might not be doable in 1 man-hour- would be to ditch individual upgrades, and have levels of fort like what AOW3 has, with each level of fort getting bonuses. The AI I believe would have an easier time with this. Make consulates a high-level unrest reducer building in the Civics tree if you do this. Probably too radical of a change though." This is a g
Please leave xp for bandits, it will give a needed boost to my governor heroes and make it all the more important to have them to defend the homeland. Also a Bandit Lord sov would naturally pick Rebels as a positive Negative trait to boost his recruiting ability, might make for a fun play style. And farming in a SP game should be left to player preference. Agree with GFireflyE on a greater meditation spell but +1 mana per essence is ok for starters. Especially if

After playing a few more games with 1.6, I will just add how FOW is revealed at the end of a units movement (i have to click tile by tile to see what is around me lest i finish near a powerful enemy) and the pathfinding that will allow your army to destroy a newly gained enemy improvement if you are still in the same turn. Also the AI never attempts to offer gold when suing for peace. And the diplomacy having separate screens for treaties and trading is ter
Mass spells that affect a whole army on either tactical or strategic level would be great. I would pay an extra 20 mana for a spell that let me Nature's cloak all of my troops before fighting a drake, for example. i.e. Mass slow Mass haste Mass courage Mass web Mass shrink/growth (could be quite expensive) If the AI gets more aggressive casting negative city spells, a magic shield that can protect vs such spells
Sounds interesting, especially if there are options to make the pawns hostile/allied with the bad guy at the start of the game to increase the challenge. Quests that influenced relations with the pawns would be awesome. $20 is an alluring price point, thanks for the heads up!
This mod is a terrific piece of work and i have been able to run it with dsraider's Blood and Mana mod w/o crashes. Love the traits and the quests are really well done. Look forward to any future classes you put together. Thanks again.

1.7 is coming! Sweet! Spiders should auto-cast web or spit and then be able to move. As it is now they waste a turn or two. Please get AIs to build troops in fortresses almost exclusively. Please fix path finding and how fog of war is revealed. Please fix tactical AI that places a troop in danger of two attackers when it could face only one opponent. Looking forward to your machinations!!
[quote who="davrovana" reply="5" id="3466115"] Quoting NaytchSG, reply 4 Another problem with magic currently is the lame "one time" use spells. Only one hero or sov can have tireless march?!? Only one can be annointed by fire? And the vanilla summoning system is awful! In the Legendary Heroes Beta, it used to be that way. It made it possible to create stacks with a 13 move. One stack of doom could win the game in one turn.
[quote who="davrovana" reply="3" id="3465987"] quoting post I personally would love to see the current mage class split into evoker and summoner and then another support or close-range type mage added. There's an app for that![/quote] This game really could use more spells and Demons and Wizards definitely fills the need: it introduces two whole new schools of magic and creates a summoning pool that makes being a su
I could live with that gameplay change if it meant a more challenging game and it would help reinforce the difference between city types. Every game I play, my first city is a fortress. And it will have at least one essence slot. It would be nice if I had to think more about it, or there was some advantage to building a conclave with magical troops or a boost to summoning instead...
Still frequently observing the lone hero and solo sovereign issue, as well. It might make sense to send a lone hero forth to quickly hit unprotected goodie huts, but a solo sov is weakening an enemy AI's mana pool with every defeat. I also always take strike garrison at Fortress level 3, and typically only build one troop producing fortress city. Any other cities I settle are Towns or Conclaves. Other fortresses are only obtained through conquest. Would
Now that City Spires is part of Blood and Mana it works fine for me, so PEBKAM on my end. [e digicons]:-"[/e] Great mod, and I am running davrovona's Paladin mod and BMB and it all works great together. (w/o leader pack dlc). Looking forward to your additional efforts.
Adventurer starts with 3 quest maps and two henchmen along with the militia and spearmen but can only settle a city once they reach X level (9th level in AD&D, oh is my nerd showing?

This mod is a tremendous effort and well done, Hellions! [e digicons]k1[/e] Thanks for all of your hard work!
Could the bandit lord get a pick pocket ability to steal an item from an opposing hero/sov? Or is that hard to code? or can bandit lords get the ability to build low-level skirmishers from a special building called the Cantina? [e digicons]O:)[/e] They only cost one turn to build, can be melee or ranged. (or do you want them to spawn from merc camps, but make sure a bandit lord starts with two nearby?)

"Reclusive" as a name for the trait of the turtling sov? Perks: + 5 to mana a turn, + 1 per level to research when in the city, all militia in the city are squads of golems (can have different random offensive and defensive enchantments), can cast arcane monoliths (see below), can build an essence slot for every city level (max 5 for the city).
