Fall from Divine Intervention II: Mercenary for the Gods

Welcome to the second installment of Divine Intervention in the Fall from Heaven series! This works slightly different from a normal Divine Intervention game, since the gods of the world of Fall from Heaven are used and as such there the roles of the gods are more determined beforehand rather than letting the gods sign in as they come.

All the gods are expected to keep to the Compact. I will mostly rely on the other gods to enforce the Compact if things get out of hand.

The Revised Compact as formulated by PaulusIII, based on the Eleven Commandments of Deityhood as formulated by TheForestAuro:



List of gods (Signups are CLOSED!)



Game settings:
Leader: Tasunke of the Hippus
Map: Hemispheres, Large, 3 continent
Time: Normal
Difficulty level: Emperor
Other settings: Last Days, Living World, All Unique Features

List of turnsets and storyline posts:

Turn 1-50: Rebirth of the World
Turn 51-100: Of Gods And Men
Turn 101-150: In The Court Of The Warrior King

And the save.... good luck with it!

Just noticed that we have a full set of gods! Whoot! I didn't say got it yet. I'll grab it later

Edit: to any lore-masters, who opposes mammon by the way? I am pretty certain it's not Kilmorph, but I cannot think of anything else

Checking in - not a got it.



From a cover hundredfold more effective than that of the many trees around the small Hippus tribe, Esus, the angel of deception waited patiently. He would not take action yet. And when he did, it would be so subtle that he was sure the Hippus would not notice.

He closed in on the horse people. Among them was a single rider, Tasunke. Their leader, Esus knew. What to do with him? Nothing, for now...

By the way, I noticed that many people were putting in maple leaves for their avatar, any reason behind this?

If I may stray offtopic to answer that, it's got something to do with the NES forum I believe. Some kind of cruel joke on Das, perhaps.

Whispers of Faith: Part I

Even as the frigid age of ice came to an end, the chill winds passed far too long after to be comfortable. The spirits, they say, ride on cold winds - whispering their wishes to the living. The gales, they also say, are cries - screams from the tortured dead in their anguish and grief.

But they also say that on the softest winds, the cool summer breezes, that one can hear the wishes of the kindly spirits. One must simply have faith, and one will hear the will of the risen and the dead.

Perhaps Tansuke might have heard something. Turning back to the proposed site of their first camp, the leader's mind refocused back on the task at hand - but indeed, there had been a whisper on that wind.

will grab it monday, if I may

While sleeping one night, Tansuke Had troubling dreams of death and destruction. Througout these dreams a strange voice was heard. "Delve into the mysteries of the ether or these things will happen to you and your people."

What to do:

Mammon would probably be opposed by-

• Kilmorph (Greed vs. hard Work)
• Nantosuelta (Enchantment and Mind are opposed spheres)
• All of the good gods except for Sirona and Sucellus (All of the gods accept and allow these two into their vaults and council)

Grabbing the save now.

Tasunk looked over the people who made up his tribe. The Altha-Methoriel, the most powerful and prestigious of the Hippi, were dressed in leather and cloth to protect them from the elements and to stop any invasion of frostling or savages at any moment.
As he examined the tribe from his warhorse he saw three women who were clearly not Hippus. One was robed in red, she was tall and beautiful. The two beside her were clothed in white and were twins.
He rode his horse to them to see who they were and why they had infiltrated the Hippus tribe.
"Ladies, you are surely not Hippus, where be you from?"
"I am Thessalonica, on of the Sisterhood of Sirona. These are my companions. Sirona seeks the aid of the Hippi, who she knows will one day rule much of Erebus. She sent Myself, Helen, and Teresa to watch and advise you, as well as protect your tribe from ailment. "
"It is most kind of your lady to think of us, but I know that the aid of the gods, even from the benevolent Sirona, comes with a cost. What is it the Shining Lady needs?"
Thessalonica smiled, "Your are most wise Tasunke. I know why my mistress sees great things for you. Her order, the Elohim, have been severely weakened during the winter. They can no longer be counted upon to protect the meek and the most holy sites of Erebus. She wishes for you to gain as many of these places as possible, and defend them from the world, or the world from them as it may be. For each of these wonders you will be rewarded, so seek them out on your fleet-footed mounts and wrest them from evil's control."
Tasunke pondered the kind goddess' offer, would Sirona's blessing be enough?

I decided not to edit the save.

Enchantment sphere is opposed by Dimensional (or at least their gods are), not mind.

Now... for your task



In Tasunke's dreams, a man, no a god, with a cane appeared. Suddenly, Tasunke's minds were filled with visions of wealth, a glimmering city with his people cheerfully buying and selling exotic goods at a market larger than anything he had ever seen. He saw his warriors returning to the city with even more wealth than he had ever imagined possible, and more gold in his treasury than the god could wave his cane at. Suddenly, the room was empty and the god smiled.

If you choose to revere me, then you can have all that, Tasunke. I am not even asking you to worship me, as some other gods will do. Just revere me that's all. I am only concerned about the welfare of your nation, if you should choose to not revere me, then your nation will just be a footnote in history, not worth mentioning at all

And the man disappeared, leaving Tasunke bewildered

Anyways I got the save next to Vernacular

Vernacular did not edit the save, so you can take it now.

Done it

Changelog not for mortal eyes

Junil watched upon the Hippus with thoughts,thoughts that they would be able to purify those that can be,and destroy those who cannot.His messanger approched the scout and did a strange ritual upon the scout and the scout felt different.

Not for Hippus eyes!


OK for Hippus eyes

Esus merely smeered at the sight of the messengers of the other gods. He had even overheard Mammon, who was, if not subtle, at least discreet. Esus was sure that such a direct approach would not make a lasting impression on anyone, not even the superficial Hippus. No, one had to be subtle...

Spoiler NFPE :

Can someone take the pics I requested in the first post?

Furthermore, add 3 Barbarian scouts (Unit AI "wander" or "animal") 10-15 tiles in different directions from the Hippus. They should all have the Shadow I promotion, and be named Rogue Hippi?

Well when someone asked me a phrase I describe my self with, I said I am a lying So*

Dumnaios, if you click the attachment button (shaped like a paperclip) you can browse through your files, attach the save to your post, and then post it.

...

Dang it , Paulos I couldn't give you anything to your treasury because you didn't find your city yet

What am I going to use cash on in the first 50 turns? Neutral people don't get those juicy prophet events!

(I am 100% certain that I'm going to regret saying this )

Sell your people into slavery.
