Dive into Ancient Lore: A RifE Modmod

[Valkrionn]

Just an idea for how to add the build altar options back to the Luonotar. Simply tie the various build level "x" spells to a prerequisite level, then have the spell kill the caster. This represents the civ having to work on developing units and sacrifice them to create the altar.

Also, I am developing a unique leader for the Grigori in the "Testers group," not sure if you have access, but maybe have a look at what I've got there and tell me if I'm stepping on any toes.

He should have access to both tester's group and team forum.

Your leader shouldn't hurt Goodreau; Different traits.

I believe it is already implemented that way in the version of my modmod which I released back on March 3rd.

You also have to remember to make the spell remove previous versions of the altar.

While letting the Luonnotar build the Altar and die, I'm fairly set in Goodreau's gathering of GPs to gain Altar levels, as it allows a longer progression in the same way other civs can get the Altar. If this feels too odd to people, Magister's method could be substituted.
