What that picture near their castle is?
please don't tell me it's a photo

That's how temples are now. I'm quite miffed that the old display isn't even an option.

Crazy centaurs. Stats before bless and stats after bless, please?

Is there at least some variety or is it stave churches for everyone?

These are blesses without a single death, unluckyness or drain scale, if you want you can break these dudes wide open.

The buff to the previous:

High defence, low encumberance, very good hp and ok protection - you get through all that and just get a nope from the eternal 90% of the time - and if you do damage it, it'll berserk your face off.

Edit: I tried a full-commitment bless (well, softly commited - I'm not gonna take sloth for this, so you could add 1-2 more buffs if you care):

Berserk removes any and all moral concerns, MR is high enough to be ok and the high default values even out any mistakes and bad rolls and then you recover the wound, ensuring a forever-elite...

For reference, I did a 5 player AI game and won, having roughly 150 white horsies at the end and having lost around 12 during the entire game... its silly.

Icon varies per temple type. So yes, there are a number of variants. 15, I think? It's been a while since I've looked at temple types in the nation modding docs.

How did you even have casualties with defense like that? Penalties from surrounding?

That's an interesting philosophical statement.

Out of the box they do, but now there's a relatively cheap death bless you can take to make them not starve.

Any fun changes for Ulm?  They're my favorite nation in like every age, but I just haven't had time to look into anything yet.

No, that's what they mean. Half Dead is either broken or has a very misleading description. Right now it just provides 100% disease resistance and does nothing to the unit's supply intake. So boars still starve, and get the various starvation penalties. Mind you, they never starve to death, as the disease resistance means they heal as normal as though they had no disease, but since they do become diseased, they gradually rack up afflictions from the monthly disease damage.

It's sorta entertaining to see Half Dead work like that, but it's almost certainly a bug, and has been reported as such.

Ulmish steel armor now is magic, so all their steel-clad troops get resistance to armor-damaging effects for everything from their helmets to their shields.

[Farce]

So GLORIOUS MA ULM is now resistant to having its main advantage taken away?  Awesome.  Gonna have to see how they've weathered the battle system change and if encumbrance is back to make them useless.

I'll have to check out the Japan nation too, I guess, and see if Chaos Power and no shields still makes them weird and unsynergistic or whatever.

There is a new misc item that looks great...construction 4 for 3 nature requirement, gives 2 temp nature gems and 50 supply.

Also, try playing with cataclysm set to turn 1, just to see the world burn due to horrors.

[E. Albright]

So, uh, they seem to have upgraded the Gifts from Heaven effect...

Ok, things I've learned, even with a fort, if you lose the battle for the territory, you lose the throne. This is probably to counter balance the option of just holding in the fort forever. Doom horrors are not permenantly dead during the cataclysm, I killed the abomination of desecation, then it showed back up on the next turn to attack the throne again, which I lost because the previous time it killed 150 shambler thralls. Its also looks to be a global game over if all thrones are destroyed.

[ThtblovesDF]

I took the bless, they starved anyways... including the disease effect, the starvation icon and getting afflictions while the "100% disease immune" icon proudly claimed otherwise.

Also, the new crippeld units die is like the most annoying message in the world, so now I have to check every unit before we march and leave the cripples behind as pseudo PD?

[E. Albright]

Disease resistance doesn't stop you from getting diseases. What it does is roll against your resistance every turn, and if you succeed, you heal as normal rather than not healing... but the disease still does that 10% HP damage before you heal. You're not ever gonna die from the disease with 100% resistance, and even with just 20% or 30% the odds are against it, but you'll wrack up a lot of afflictions over time, and in any case you have the starvation penalties, too.

[ThtblovesDF]

No, its a bug.
