Oh, is that why loading the nation I generated is saying "Bad #selectnation command" and crashing the game?

The slider could just as easily be labeled "Sacred Ridiculousness". Which is to say, nope, you're not too literal, that's exactly right.

This is funny because every time I put it to "batshit insane" it always, ALWAYS gives me hilariously shitty sacreds. Like they don't have a SINGLE SPECIAL ATTRIBUTE. No poisonarmor, no invulnerability, generally not even "better resistances" they get nothing.

But yeah, with the restrictions system there's now a semi balanced way to make "select your own nation" games. Basically everyone sends in what restrictions they want their nation to be genned with and take the first thing that works. Or just get told no if it takes too long for the host person's taste

EDIT: OK WOW. Wanna know how dumb the AI is in the game I'm playing? It put a SLAVE COLLAR ON ITS PRETENDER. FUCKING WUT. I think Illwinter still has some bugfixing to do XD

No, wait, I was wrong. The quirk I discussed above is one in the dev build, and it's a result of fixing the problem you mention. Basically, in the release rejected nations are still assigned a nation number, so if it takes 1000 nations to fill your requested number of nations with a given criteria, the nation numbers will span into the thousands and Dominions will choke. The solution is the same, though: take all the seeds of the nations located, and make a custom-seeded mod with just those specific seeds specified. A new release fixing this stuff should be out soon though.

I'd definitely report the Slave Collar on Pretender thing.

[BFEL]

How do I figure out the seed of a nation after I moved it to the game proper?

[E. Albright]

Open the mod's .dm file. At the beginning there's a list with the seed that was used to generate the nation seed (ignore it) and right after that a by-nation list of specific seeds.

[Frumple]

I can't even remember... isn't it possible to pick up slave collars after a fight? I think it was at one point, but not sure if that was Dom 3 or what -- know it was at least possible to pick up those cheapo cursed knives. If it is, though, it may be that the AI didn't put a slave collar on its pretender, just had a hilariously bad RNG result after an indie fight :V

How do I open the .dm file? Do I use 7zip?

Yeah see the way I know this isn't what happened is that Yomi started surrounded by throne provinces and never managed to expand past its capital. So it never won a battle, probably because it STUCK A FUCKING SLAVE COLLAR ON ITS PRETENDER

It's a text file.

No, no... that's not a guarantee. Events can cause battles, too, and while as far as I can recall they're incredibly unlikely (save for the troll) to generate anything with an item, I'm pretty sure it's still possible. If collars really can be picked up post fight, there's still a(n incredibly small) chance Yomi could have basically landed on just about the worst RNG results in the history of D4, instead of making a rather impressively bad decision.

... it's bloody close to certain it was the AI being an idiot, but... it might not have been. The possibility may be there (assuming slave collars actually can be picked up*).

*Which if they can, I'm totally going to have to remember collar bombing as a tactic if I ever run a blood nation. Mass produce scouts and collars, send them into a vital enemy army to die and cripple important stuff~

[E. Albright]

I wanna say "cursed" is one of the criteria that reduces the chances of picking up items.

[Frumple]

... but not eliminates? I could see that... while I've picked up knives of the damned occasionally, it's kinda' seemed to be more unlikely than usual. Still, if it's still possible, it's still possible. It'd just set the bar for worst RNG results in the history of D4 a bit higher :V

[Shadowlord]

And here I was thinking that E. Albright meant that cursed commanders were less likely to pick things up. :V

[George_Chickens]

Can the pretender of that middle-age mummy empire (I forgot the name) raise the dead? Mine has level 4 death magic and is sieging a castle, but my men are starving faster than the siege is progressing. I'd like to have them resurrected to fight once again.

Actually, for that matter, what are the requirements for raising a corpse from its slumber?

[Shadowlord]

That would depend on the pretender's chassis. You have other units that can, however - if it's possible to do it while sieging. I don't recall.

[Jilladilla]

Reanimators can raise dead while sieging, but I think they don't participate in breaking down the walls while doing so. Might be wrong on that though.

Any intrest in another near vanilla game, small-ish ( and fast-ish? Last one went by in a flash tbh and was great.
