Archmage Cap

[JimMorrison]

Does this mean Khad would get how many potential Twincasts? Find it sad that he is left out of the party.

Also, extrapolating slightly from the main topic (and adding to the last couple of posts), it would be nice if the other unit limits could be loosened up a bit. So instead of always having 4 Crossbow, 4 Phalanx, 4 Berserkers, etc, no matter what nation I play - there would just be a limit of 20 or whatever of the T4 units, and I could pick and choose depending on the strengths and flavor of my nation. Perhaps just keep the split between magic/mundane, so you can't just have 20+ Archmages by neglecting all other T4 units.

Also also, Re: Thread Title - I agree, Archmages should get fancier hats.

That sounds fun. I'm guessing the can/cannot train python callback could do it all, including various categories and different limits for different civs, techs, etc.

I think it would be neat to HAve the Kadi and Amurites to have a 4th level of Adept/Mage/Archmage/Grand Magi (national limit 2) Which would allow 2 more mages to upgrade to archmage.

Let the Grand Magi have access to some things like twincast 2 and Heroic Defense

No reason for the Kahdi to have it really (Kahd will make sure he's the top mage in anycase) - but a "Caswallan" might fit very nicely for the Amurites to re-solidify themselves as the magic-kings.

Of course, he'd need to go kill Dain first I believe...

Huh, could do the Amurites similarly to the Scions. If you use Valledia as leader you get Dain as a hero unit....

 

[civ_king]

Then what does Dain get??

No idea, why don't you come up with something?

This is actually pretty close to the Commanders project that GreyFox was working on - using some of the existing leaders (plus new ones) as subordinates and generals to provide extra traits and abilities...

yeah iirc this was the work I wanted to try to combine with my aborted regicide mod mod. Good stuff.

uh how about Vallendian being a roaming forbidden palace (she is Organized after all)

 

[thapagan]

How about some type of training. If you build a major wonder you could park a magic user in that city for x number of turns, and he would gain a spell ( maybe 20 turns for adepts, 10 for mage 5 for archmage)

or maybe not?
