Same thing as yours basically

Also, this is not true.

I just meant they're the same in principle. The math is rather interesting for carrion woods. I should actually be trying to keep my dominion low, since the candles don't have an effect on the spawn rate, only the population kill. Ideally, I could have 1 candle/province with 3 growth and still be able to increase my population while getting lots of freespawn. Of course, candles dictate the rate of scale shift so I should probably be aiming for something slightly higher, but I guess the conclusion is that I should stop spamming temples everywhere.

[Il Palazzo]

But don't you get better freespawns with a temple present?

[Karlito]

Temples will spawn Mandragoras, yeah, but the really good ones also need to be in a forest province or gotten by reanimation.

[Korbac]

The ideal situation I think is a low Dom (say about 3), and just litter the area in temples.

Just figured out unitgen (wasn't hard, I was just thoroughly confused why nothing was happening until I realized I was clicking the .jar instead of the .exe).

This is fantastic and we must play it.

Nation 72: Hirtaifurt
-----------------------------------
Race: Humans.
Military: Light infantry. Crossbowmen. Light moose cavalry and heavy nightmare cavalry. Sacred light amphiptere cavalry.
Magic: Fire, Earth and Nature. Weak Water.
Priests: Strong.

Moose, nightmare and amphiptere cavalry? Sweet.

Nation 74: Ungburg
-----------------------------------
Race: Hoburgs, some Humans, Human auxillaries, prefers Cold scale +2.
Military: Crossbowmen. Light cavalry and heavy mechanical ant and boar cavalry. Sacred Human heavy bear cavalry.
Magic: Air, Water, Astral and Nature.
Priests: Strong, temples cost 300 gold, can perform blood sacrifices.

Spoiler: Picture preview (click to show/hide)

Everything about this is awesome. Hoburgs, check. Temperature preference for some free design points, check. Cheaper temples and blood sacrifice, check. Sacred BEAR cavalry, check. MECHANICAL ANTS? CHECK!

And that's just two of the first three I saw. There are so many great things. So many.


Edit: Wow, looking through the advanced descriptions it looks like there are a lot of subtleties put into this. Even the nations that don't obviously have a theme or a cool hook in the basic descriptions end up with one in the advanced descriptions. I found a race of Earth/Nature-themed Caelians that are all partially fire resistant and have sacred ranger troops and commanders that shapeshift into werewolves. Another one was what appeared to be a cult of spider-god worshipping humans with a focus on Air and Death magic. They have hardy troops and spider cavalry with flying regenerating sacred troops and commanders wielding pikes that reanimate their victims.

There's a nation that rides giant fossils. When you kill the riders the fossil giants continue to rampage. They also have giant scorpion cavalry and a suite of sacred mage/priests.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A weird point, though, is that their Abyssian troops prefer heat +2, but the nation as a whole (for income/resources/whatever else that affects) prefers cold +2.

[TempAcc]

Jesus christ this is pretty awesome

[Boksi]

What, you guys hadn't heard of that before? It's pretty neat, I'm using the spritegen function for a mod I'm developing.

[Bluerobin]

I'm still not super immersed in the Dom3 community. Basically all I've done is a casual scan of the Shrapnel forums (mostly for strategy and map discussions, not for mods) and a few rapid skimmings of the SA threads. If there are more awesome things like this, though, I need to dive in deeper.

[Korbac]

Agh! I hate you laptop! Negative emotions! Grumkins! Snarks! Why won't you work!!! XD

[EuchreJack]

Personally, my favorite units from Unitgen are the fish throwers: Units that throw poison fish as their attack.

EDIT: And I now officially border R'lyeh.  I expect Void Beasts will start frequenting our border taverns.  Remember Il Palazzo: We at Gath have a two drink minimum.

- Gift of Reason now 6 gems instead of 20.

[Bluerobin]

The Phoenix and Manticore spells are neat, but I still feel like the Ascension spells and Necromantic Apotheosis are meant for nations I don't play/don't know much about because those path requirements seem really high.

stuff

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? All of that is completely ridiculous, especially the Heliophagus general.
