Like the title says: i can't get promotions on Auric. Is this the way it is supposed to be? I've got 13 XP, so with the charismatic trait that should be enough for 4 promotions, right ?
Can't get promotions on Auric Ascended ?

Yep as the god of stasis what you see is what you get. But he will use any item you got. Its odd to see him with that fire affinity mace...

Also I would try to capture a druid unit - they work very well with Auric as long as he stays on land. Or any other unit that can cast regeneration to hurry and heal the big lug.

Auric Ascended has no unitcombat, so there are no promotions available. Also, it is thematically appropriate for the God of Stasis to be static, unable to gain promotions after his ascension.
(In my version, you can get promotions on the mortal Auric unit which carry over when he ascends, but still can't get promotions once he becomes a god.)

Thanks! That clarifies a lot. I'll send one of the high priests of winter after him then.
Aye, and he should really be stronger too, or gain strength in relation to how cold the world is. ALso, I think him being in Erebus should start to turn the world colder, or to quicken the rate at which the world turns cold. Perhaps Ice and tundra (or just ice) should spread from Illian terrain similar to the hell terrain mechanic, but only when Auric Ascended is in the game.

And what should happen when spreading hell terrain meets spreading ice terrain? This would lead to some issues...

Ice terrain has an invisible hell terrain effect, which I believe removes forests, but otherwise doesn't effect the tile, or at least thats how I've heard it.
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over
Using a different counter of course, although when one counter is higher, that is the terrain we would use, or simply allow snow to overtake hell terrain if the snow counter gets higher than the hell counter. There are alot of variables, for sure ... But I think if we are talking about Auric Ascended being in the game, then Ice should over take the hell terrain when the Ice counter is higher than the AC counter. (of course we could make hell immune, although an ice temple turns hell into ice iirc, so it would probably be easier to code for the hell to simply turn to ice like anything else, and of course if the AC is high enough, the hell should at least be immune for longer, although it seems once hell is ice, its irreverable unless the Infernal mages are using scorch and vitalize, which, I think, will turn the feature first into tundra, then into plains, and the next turn the counter will turn it back into hell. However we all know that hell cannot convert snow directly, but snow can convert hell directly. After All, Auric wants erebus to be his domain, I doubt he wishes to share with Hyborem. Also, Auric Ascended would most likely be more powerful than Hyborem, even if he is weaker than all the other gods.
As to the promotion Idea that Magister Cultuum implemented, I like the idea of promotions from Auric being translated into Auric Ascended. However, just make the Auric Ascended inherit the promotions similar to Barnaxus -> golems upon unit creation, and then kill the Auric unit via code. Then of course, no longer check for the promos or else you would lose the promotions. Well, I think I worded it circumlocuitously, however the point is that if Auric dies before Auric Ascended is created, you simply dont get any promotions on Auric Ascended. There is no reason to block Auric Ascended if the Auric unit is "debilitated for combat." He can simply regain the god-like vitality once he ascends. Of course, he could of been much stronger if he had maintained himself during his mortal life.

Oddly it removes Ancient Forests but leaves normal forests alone.
Thank you, that made my day.Similar threads
