The axe is lost forever, the same happens if any summoned unit or spell kills orthus. This should be changed in "Shadow" where equipment becomes actual objects.
Equipment is coming in "Shadow".
More is coming.
No, just randon chance depending on a few factors. You can use the editor to adjust it if you have excel (the editor is a spreadsheet in the /Fall from Heaven 2011/ directory).
If you have a death or entropy node those penalties are applied.
We are just trying to get the single slots filled before we delve into multiple sphere (ie: "gold") spells.
The 3 questions:
1. Will the proposed mechanic make the game more fun? Not really, in fact it may make the game less fun.
2. Will the proposed mechanic help with game balance? Not really, spheres are already balanced because choosing one keeps players from gaining another.
3. Will the proposed mechanic add to game flavor? Yes. But without the above its probably not worth implementing.
That said the tech that allows you to apply the different node improvements will be different for different sorts of mana. So one tech may allow you to build Death, Chaos and Entropy nodes while another allows you to make Life, Law and Nature nodes. Which is a similiar effect to what you are mentioning.

I know, i was playing as the Calabim but couldnt seem to build vampires. Perhaps i am missing the unit, but i couldnt find it anywhere in the Civpedia either (not that i searched too extensively, just under V and C). Is there a tech you need?
And to your other answers, great- im looking forward to the next versions already! Youre doing great work!

You need Corruption of Spirit to build vampires.
I just got back from a fishing trip for my brother's b-day. It was great, but I was pining for a pc...just so I could play. I will dload this afternoon, and try to give some feedback.
Just from reading through...I have a question...
The pirate cove...this allows naval transport over a one tile strip between water? Is it buildable only by the pirate civ?
Thanks, and I am looking forward to playing.

I was wondering what units can recieve the gift of vampirism from the vampire unit. I tried it on several macemen but they did not become vampires but it worked on my hero unit, Sphener the vampire angel. Can only my hero units become vampires?
Also, will there be a tech sheet released at some point that shows what units/buildings/abilties each race does or does not have access to? I was playing as the Calabim and I noticed that I could not build druids, high priests, or inquisitioners and I was not sure if that is a civ limitation for them or i was not missing something.

Oh one other thing....Rather than creating a huge civpedia right now...Why don't you just post a Q&A forum/readme/spoiler tag for frequently asked questions...I want you guys working on the next version, not answering questions about nodes and dancing bears all the time.

Hi Kael & Team. Very nice mod, congratulations.
Possible bug :
When you summon a fireball with arcane barge it appears with 0 points of movement so I can't use that fireball through land or sea. By the way, why the ships can't enter in the cities?
Sometimes I can gift vampirism to a unit, sometimes I can't, How it works?. The same question to Regeneration spell because i can't use it with vampires to other units.

The unit must be alive and be at least 6th level to be made into a vampire. Moroi are an exception and only need to be 4th level to become vampires.
At some point yes, since that is in a lot of flux right now there isnt much point in documenting it. The Calabim can't build War Elephants, Arquebus's, Druids and Cannons.
No one can build Mages, Conjurers, Archmages, Immortals, High Priests or Inquisitors. Instead units that meet a level requirement must be upgraded into those roles. So the Calabim (or anyone) cant build a high priest, but they can upgrade a level 6 or higher priest to be a high priest.

It would be nice to be able to build lumbermills in ancient forests.
In my last game I found myself often building a mine on a hill (to destroy an ancient forest), casting bloom with a priest of leaves, and building a lumbermill during the period of time that the hill was forested, but not ancient forested.

Bah!
I must be in the minority here, but the whole idea of an Ancient Forest is that they need to be left alone. I think they give plenty of bonuses so that preservation is encouraged. As an Elven Religion why would you log or deforest? Sacreligeous!

Kael and his friends,
Last day i tested "Bannor Civ" and the religion "Fellowship of the Leaves". Both are great.
BUT:
a) Old Forests with their bonus of +1 food give are VERY powerful help to the growth of the city. Some of my cities reach 13 to 17 pop very quickly...
b) Enforcers are also very useful and good units at the beginning of the game. The +45% def makes Orcs attacks a boring but not dangerous fact. But you loose this when you promote your unit to the next step... For my own, i would better saw the promotion "City garrison". It would be nearly the same (+40% to def) and you would still have it when the unit reach the next step...
c) I also built the Pack of the Nilhorn. Very, very fun....
d) Last point. I play on Noble level, Terra like map on a temperate world. I always use aggressive AI and raging Barb. (Many barb = many xp ). AI civs always built their cities slowly and garrisoned them poorly: 1-2 scouts or 1-2 warrior like units. AI weekness or inappropriate difficulty ?
As an old player of classical RPG and wargames, i feel happy to find in this mod the same pleasure. Is this "world" a creation of your own or an existing one (novel, RPG or other) ? If you create it by yourselves, your brains must be severely damaged ...

The mod is based on the D&D game I ran for many many years. I stole lots of ideas from other sources but it had a lot to do with the leaders of the various countries and their responce to the armageddon spells that were being cast so it translated well into a Civ4 mod.
Even if the players weren't involved in them they were mostly aware of the large military actions that were going on in the world. Countries at war, leaders betraying each other. The players would recognize and be able to tell you stories about most of the leaders and heroes that are in the mod.

Kael. I've just opended a FAQ thread in the FfHII forum. I will start posting Q&A's this evening, from the first 15 pages. I will udate it as well as we go along, and questions are asked and answered. I've also asked in bold on the first post for people not to post in this thread, as I will take the best questions from all FfHII forums, along with answers, and post them here.
I'm also going to try to contribute to the writing/ideas areas as well. As this is something I can do.
Hopefully down the line I can help with scenarios as well?
