MTG wars from Tempest: Soltari vs. Thalakos vs. Dauthi

[Takhisis]

Anyone interested in the idea?
It should be a three-pronged war, but I dunno how to make the special abilities some of them have, like first strike when attacking (Soltari Lancer) and so on. Anybody willing to do the mapwork, etc.?

Okay, lets pretend there is a frequent poster on this forum, who has no idea what you are talking about, and lets pretend I`m that guy. Now you pretend to explain it to me. Be persuasive

 

[Takhisis]

Sorry, just had time to make the proposal and cut out. I have a dial-up connection, you see.
First, if you haven´t played Magic: The Gathering (aka MTG), it´s gonna be difficult. In 1997, the Tempest set was released and, with it, a new creature ability came: Shadow. Creatures with Shadow could only block or be blocked by other creatures with shadow. There were three "races", to call them some way...
The Dauthi: They´re based on black mana, and they´re creatures of the dark. They enjoy torture and such amusements. Their principal tactics are treacherous, involving ambush, assassination, and the like.
The Soltari: They´re based on white mana, and they´re creatures of day. Their main hero is Lyna, known as the Soltari emissary. They prefer to fight squarely, face-to-face.
The Thalakos: They´re based on blue mana, and are creatures who fight with illusions. Caught between the Soltari and the Dauthi by a nasty combination of bad luck and poor geography, they´re the weakest of the three, and in a desperate situation.

That´s all so fart.

And I would advise you that, if you haven´t played MTG, you would probably understand only 1/10 of what it´s about.

Dude, next time just say fantasy anywhere in the text or in the title I`m following this with interest. (and hoping for a good civpedia )

And thanks for the explanation!

Ain't an easy project you've picked up here. Especially since the units are so specifics.. Did you already look through the ghost and undead units, maybe you'll find one or two fitting ?

 

[Takhisis]

Nope, I haven´t. I´ve put most 'pedia pics above, so I´ll let others carry on weith the main part, if they´re still interested.

 

[Stormrage]

I bet Supa and Aaglo could make all of these

 

[Takhisis]

I thought Supa hisself said that he didn´t make civ3 units.

 

[Stormrage]

...must be some other Supa goin` around with all of these awesome previews of units these days...

 

[Supa]

Uh, I don't where I said I didn't make Civ-3 unit. I released my third a week or two ago and I've 5-6 in wip.

Nope, I haven´t. I´ve put most 'pedia pics above, so I´ll let others carry on weith the main part, if they´re still interested.

Well, maybe you'll get more chance to see your unit requests made if you promote better your project. Meaning doing yourself the research throught the units subforum, explaining better the gameplay, perhaps even starting the biq with temporary graphics... Bref, showing you're serious and attracting people..

 

[Takhisis]

Supa, I´m being sporadic, and I´ve been having other things to do.
Perhaps I should have said it more clearly: I don´t have a clue as to how to represent the units, which, in MtG, all have around the same stats; so i don´t know how to make them different. Does anyone have an idea on how to do it?
