Naeralith Reborn: MODMOD Design and Implementation

[Alzara]

i was bored so here are a few cross sphere spells for nature magic that i just pulled out my Ars3

Nature 3 / Fire 1 - Desert Spice (sacrifice the nature 3 promotion to create a source of Spice in the owners square with a plantation)
Nature 1 / Fire 3 - Seedbomb (sorcerer fuses explosive energy in with the growing plant, and enchants it so when it touches soil explosive plant growth occurs, but at the same time an inferno explodes out, creating a fire with a source to burn (basically an area effect low colateral damage spell that starts forest fires)

Nature 3 / Earth 1 - Strangling Vines (Sorcerer causes thick ivy to climb city fortifications, breaking apart stone and mortar, and providing strong handholds for soldiers to climb (strongly reduces city defence, possibly destroys any city fortification buildings.)
Nature 1 / Earth 3 - Revenge of the Earth (If cast on a forest, summon a treeman wit hstrong promoton, if cast on a hill summon an earth elemental with strong promotion, if cast on a forested hill, summon both a treeman and earth elemental with weak promotion.)

Nature 3 / Water 1 - Swampgas (sorcerer turns grassland into swamp, and if cast on swamp summons a Swampgas unit, 5 poison strength, 2 move, hidden nationaility, attacks weakest enemy unit, transfers poisoned promotion)
Nature 1 / Water 3 - Tropical Rainstorm (sorcerer summons a tropical rainstorm, turns all forests adjacent to the caster into jungle and turns all grassland and plains into marsh for 20 turns, has a chance to destroy improvements (flooding))

Nature 3 / Air 1 - Whispers of the Woods (sorcerer talks to the trees, sending messages out on the wind. cast in forest or jungle. reveal all tiles that are also forest or jungle in contact with the same forest or jungle the spell was cast in, 3 turn duration, 3 turn cool down (cannot cast another spell i nthat time or move)
Nature 1 / Air 3 - Summon Roc (sorcerer summons a gigantic eagle (permanent) which can transport 2 units)


not sure about the spells that summon units

Nice ideas! I've already been given some necro suggestions... think I need to get magic designed for phase 1 soon

Will work on that shortly

What the hack?

Edit: actually, that would work nicely with folks...

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

hehe, im clearly bored... "BEGONE FOUL DEMON SCUM! TASTE THE WRATH OF MY BACON!"

"Its a bird... no its a Kuriotate Airship... no its a Pie Angel!"

 

[Seon]

Alzara: Ha! HOW DO YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN DEFEAT ME, MORTAL!
<Insert Sorcerer/sorceress name here> I shall send you back to the depth of hell with my pies and bacons! now die!
Alzara: WHAT? NOOOOOOOOOO~

Something like that? PL?

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

pretty much. Nothing can escape the steamy crust of a properly crafted Dwarven Pastry Prison. not even Alzara. then factor in the reinforced bacon shackles and gravy moat and you have one hell of a fortification.

 

[Alzara]

WHAT HAVE I DONE? Haha

Sometimes I wonder which out of the three of us is the most insane?

Al

 

[cyther]

All madness and pieness should be celebrated!

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

i wonder if anyone got the obscure references in that pie/bacon magic post...

 

[Alzara]

I didnt get the pie/bacon thing but it was funny lol

Just for those of you who are wondering what is happening next, I am getting down to some actual modding. Just going through a few things about art with psychic llamas at the moment

Will post some things soon... mainly progress updates, but a couple of new civs will appear as well as some lore as I find time

[Psychic_Llamas]

seeing as no one got my clearly awsome jokes:

Rougecow, it gives you wings

Rouge means red, and cow is like a bull. thus "redbull, it gives you wings!"

Harlequins Pies

a pun on "Jesters Pie company"

Bake Dwarven Pie

Terry Pratchett's dwarves are reknown for thier Rock Bread, so i figured, why not rock pie-crust too?

------------

Seriously though, good luck with your moddign Al! anddont forget the teasters

EDIT: heres a pressie for ya Al
