Forgive my lack of mod-fu, but is it possible for both seafaring and fishing to allow working of water tiles? That way, the Lanun could work water tiles immediately, but still have to research fishing for work boats, and other civs could still work water tiles at fishing? Perhaps reduce the base food and/or commerce of water tiles, but have that added in at fishing?

 

[MagisterCultuum]

Yes, that is certainly possible. Just give them both <bWaterWork>1

Having base terrain gain yields from techs would be much more difficult.

 

[ICanHasName?]

Maybe give Mahala some kind of 'animal capturing' trait instead? Peace with the animals would just mean no more easy XP, and that your starting scout lives until orcs show up.

Seafaring allowing the working of Water Tiles does sound a nice solution

I enjoy reading through these conversations and seeing all of these very complex solutions for relatively simple problems. It reminds me of when I was wracking my brain over some programming problem and I'd be commiserating with some art major and they'd say "I know this is probably wrong but what about [something really simple]." And I'd wind up hating them because I was thinking too 'outside the box' or 'complex' to see the simple solution, like Seafaring allowing the working of Water Tiles =p

I like the seafaring working water tiles idea!! That's going into Flat, posthaste

And as for Mahala, if she had a decent two-trait combo and then had a third trait that gave *melee* units Subdue Animal (and maybe Subdue Beast?) that would be pretty cool to me. Would result in some very "Wild-Men" looking armies full of random animals.

I'm also shamelessly stealing that idea from Baron Duin Halfmorn in notque's minor leader mod (He is, coincidentally, a Dovellio leader.)
