Mana Tower Suggestions

[jimi12]

I posted this in another thread but i wanted to start a thread for new ideas for what the mana towers could do.

The towers should be a place where your archmages have completely mastered the genre of magic the tower represents. This should provide you with better archmages and maybe a passive empire wide bonus.

Tower ideas:

Divination- Grants archmage units the spell "Clairvoyance". it would act like a floating eye without the distance restrictions. This would be in addition to the free tech now.

Necromancy- Grants archmage units a promotion "Necromancer" this would make them into walking Mokka's Cauldrons.

Alteration- Could give your archmages a spell that turns selected enemy unit into a baboon or random animal unit. This would also let you get animal cages in late game.

Elements- In addition to current effects, could spawn a permanent summon of water, fire, aurelis, earth, and air. Or make this tower let your archmages let your summon Djinn and we can come up with a new Metamagic 3 spell.

great suggestions. not too powerful, but not something you would want to skip either. I likes it.

as I said in the other thread, very good ideas. I'm in love with the tower of necromancy turning archmages into walking Mokka's cauldrons

Now maybe if they implement this they can make the REAL Mokka's Cauldron a portable wonder... It can't be too heavy...

actually I suggested that the cauldron get changed to be an item held by Mokka in this thread http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=294893

like the passive ideas! still think it would be cool if each tower enabled 1 tier 4 spells in addition to passive bonuses.

Bumping this thread so a good idea doesn't get buried!

im glad you like the idea! even if this isnt implemented, i always wondered why there was no transformation spells for the body sphere. i think these tower effects are good enough to be implemented though.
