- Cherubim - four headed, six winged humanoids, these guys are lethal swordsmen and more then willing to burn your fortress to the ground if it is needed.
- Throne - floating rings covered in eyes and wings, Thrones can perform all sorts of miracles and spells to ruin your dwarves day. On the other hand, if you manage to capture it it will make an excellent scholar!

2 curses:

- Apocalpyse! - molten basalt raining from the sky! Only in evil regions.

The Four Cardinal Archangels - These four angels can join your fortress and have various benefits. Each is an expert scholar for various topics:
- Angel of the South (Michael) = effectively a Dominion from the heavenly host who joins your fortress. Will make a worthy addition to your military squads. Can
  perform the Judgement and Heavenly Prayer interactions. Is an excellent scholar for topics relating to the humanities (history and philosophy).
- Angel of the West (Gabriel) = The Angel of the West carries a trumptet, whose blowing causes pain and fear. It is an excellent scholar for natural processes
  (geography, naturalist)
- Angel of the East (Raphael = a master doctor, the Angel of the East will use various miracles to speed up your dwarves recuperation and heal sicknesses. It is
  an excellent scholar for medical topics.
- Angel of the North (Uriel) = The Angel of the North has dominion over fire and can throw fireballs and launch firejets. It is an excellent scholar for the scientific
  topics (Astronomy, chemistry, engineering, mathematics).

The Divine Ark (of the Covenant) - An golden box with two statues of cherubim. An extremely valuable pet, it cannot move to but its presence makes your  dwarves happier with its first interaction. It's second interaction is an attack that rots those affected rapidly until they die. If 'killed' it drops a masterwork gold chest.

Special thanks to ZM5 for creating many of the interactions used in this mod, and to Meph for helping with interactions I made.

Sounds cool. Have you tested these creatures against dwarves? Do they have attack triggers? They seem incredibly strong.

[PlumpHelmetMan]

Really creative mod idea, seeing as many biblical angels certainly fit the tone of DF. Looking forward to trying this out.

This would be cool to play in an evil biome with the goetia mod

[Seraphim]

I wanted to keep them true to the biblical lore in which they were strong, and to make sure they last through world generation for a little while, and in my test forts my squads could usually take down the mega's with a few losses and epic battle. But glad you guys like the look of it!

But having looked at some of the creatures I made earlier I have made some changes:

V0.91
>Attack triggers increased, semimegabeasts attack at 100, megabeasts at 120.
>Angel of Death can only perform its The End interaction once per day.
>Megabeasts and semimegabeasts no longer take half damage from all sources.
>Overall reduction in megabeast skills to maximum of master.
>Throne's rings no longer made of Divine Metal, now marble
>Dominion sword and melee skills reduced to Great.

[PlumpHelmetMan]

Have you considered adding Horsemen of the Apocalypse to this mod?

[Seraphim]

I have not, although now you have suggested it I am already getting ideas, not sure if I would make them semimegabeasts or a group of four who arrive as a squad of four though!

[Kingra]

The big flaming sword that guards Eden would also be a good addition.

[Meph]

Now you just need a script that says: "If dwarf tower = height X, then spawn "hosts of heaven"". [Glorious chants come from the sky above!] followed by everyone being slaughtered by a wave of angels.

[Enemy post]

I haven't had time to try it yet, but this looks like a really fun mod. Thanks for making it!

[PlumpHelmetMan]

Currently playing adventure mode with this mod, long-term goal is an angel-killing spree.

[Seraphim]

Please let me know how you do PlumpHelmetMan! I could never get the grip of adventurer mode... thinking about it the Angel of Death is probably not balanced at all for it

Also The Four Horsemen and Guardian of Eden are both undergoing testing and will be included in  the next update along with some old testament style curses!
