0.34 Game Test - The Illians

[orangelex44]

Something I just noticed: Pic 10 says some of his units went to serve the Mercurials. How is that possible? Shouldn't only good units go to the Mercurials, and Auric is evil?

He probably conquered a town and razed it; the citizens register as his when they die so if they were Order they'd go to Basium.

I hope that there is some way to stop Priests of Winter (and Grigori Medics) from taking on a random religion from the city where they were built. Letting the Illians have priests who serve two gods and get spells from both seems wrong (as does letting the misotheistic Grigori have an unlimited number of medics with all the divine favor of high priests).

I suppose that blocking any Agnostic leader's units from randomly getting a religion would probably the the simplest fix.


It may also be a good idea to change the random religion assignment code to something like the FF version where the order in which the religions are listed does not effect the likelihood of having the religion assigned.


Not particularly important, but I still think that it would be good for cities that are founded by settlers that randomly got a religion to start with said religion.

A unit goes on to serve the mercurians if it was aligned with order, empyrean, or runes, even if none of those religions are the state religion of whoever built the unit. So:

Order/Emp/RoK spreads to one of Kael's cities -> Kael builds a unit in that city -> unit starts with one of those religions -> unit gets sent to the frontlines -> unit dies -> unit becomes an angel.

What! He said Friday. How dare he release it an hour early (probably 2 hours early in his time zone)

Just kidding. I'll gladly read it early.

Auric Ascended looks awesome. I wonder if his leaderhead changes after he ascends?

I'm not sure that's possible, but I doubt it is. Well, I guess they could create an alternate leader and then go though the process of switching out, out I don't think it is worth it. Besides, from the changelog it appears that this won't matter: before you can get Auric Ascended you must complete rituals that will force you to declare war on everyone and be unable to conduct diplomacy.


Auric Ascended won't look like that anyway. After I suggested it, SeZereth changed him to have grey hair instead of brown and blue eyes instead of red, and since he thought it looked better that is the version that will appear in the game.

It's quite possible, just make a trait that works like adaptive but activate it's pick at his Ascension.

I.e. "Dormant". Gives a few options (so you would be able to choose how your civ goes after he ascends).

Look in the later game pics. Kael can see what the ai can reasearch. It can't be vassalage because he's at war with perp

I've seen this in .33
Does it get displayed this way when in Auto AI Play? Or exiting Auto AI Play?

It's the Eyes and Ears Network's new function.

@ Deon, I wasn't referring to any traits changing after Ascension, but rather the actual picture of Auric used for diplomacy. How cool would it be if the picture would change to look all Mulcarn-y after he Ascends?

Besides, from the changelog it appears that this won't matter: before you can get Auric Ascended you must complete rituals that will force you to declare war on everyone and be unable to conduct diplomacy.

It would only matter for 1) the adviser screens, 2) any teammates you might have, 3) the "Your Place in History" screen after you win the game by slaughtering everyone with Auric Ascended, and 4) if the Seven Pines feature can override the effects of The Draw.

Obviously it would just be cosmetic (but cool nonetheless!).

Perhaps death nodes get some kind of bonus like earth nodes and he was just testing it.
Or he likes wraiths, alot.



Abashi is a black dragon, and black dragons breath acid.
As for Eurabatres, I was never a fan of the good dragons, but I am pretty sure golds breath fire and a non lethal breath weapon. But then again, in FFH Eurabatres has normal dragon wings so it could be different breath weapons as well.

I remember from my long-ago days playing AD&D that black dragons spit acid, red dragons breathe fire, white dragons breathe a cone of cold, and gold dragons have two breath weapons: breathing fire or breathing a cloud of chlorine gas.

I checked this a few days ago, after I posted that, they breath a strength weakening gas. New DnD sucks. (Illithids are no longer as badass as they used to bee!!!!! )
