Late game avatar ideas...

[zanzibar196]

Just had a kinda odd idea... but I think each race should be able to get a special avatar in the mid to late-game area that sorta compliments them, if they research certain, specific technologies, and have certain buildings built... for example:

Davey Jones (I know, I know... pirates of the carribean rip-off, but it WORKS!!)
Race: Lanun
Requirements: Octopus Overlords as state religion. Own the Black Wind. Own the tower of complacency. Control water, death, and chaos mana. Have Summoning, Necromancy, Malevolant Designs, and Divine Essence researched. Own the Celestial Compass. Have no other religions in your territory other then Octopus Overlords. Move a speaker onto the same tile as the Black Wind. Speaker can then perform a ritual called "Summon Davey Jones"... takes 10 turns, can be interrupted if the speaker is killed. There is a global message when the ritual starts, and the AI (if it doesn't like you) will try to stop it at all costs. +10 to the armegeddon counter when Davey Jones and his ship (the flying dutchman) appear.

Any other ideas for avatars in the game?? Hehe...

That's way too specific to be worth using developement time on. Also I'd feel pushed to adopt the required play style (only OO, no others) every time.

IMO heros are already in that place. Sure there could be 2 for each nation... one appearing after a quest maybe...?

Well, it was just an idea... but you gotta admit... Octopus Overlords fits a pure pirate nation...

well, theres already Avatar of Wrath (could count as Death Avatar), Avatar of Earth (Mithril Golem), and the Avatar of Entropy (Meshabber)...

I don't really feel good about pestering the dev team for new stuff when they've already given us this wonderful mod... Plus adding these new powerful units would just skew the gameplay toward producing these 'invincible' monoliths, and away from the good, well balanced game it is.

if they were to make them, they should have affinity for that civs mana, so they could become really powerful.. but make them on an end game tech like golem crafting or omniscience.

The end game would benefit from a bit more excitement. Maybe each Civ could collect pieces of a relic, some of which are only unlocked with the late technologies, or maybe a rare event. Rejoining all the relics and completing a ritual could summon some old God or Hero of each Civilisation. It would be another race to get your super-unit before the other AI`s.
