Pigments are related to arcane magic only. They represent the essence of sorcerery (derived from colour) found in all things.

Daemonology is a "religion", hence magic derived from a divine source. It is only possessed by Scarthia, and relates to the magic possessed by their divine units ONLY

Scarthian sorcerers behave in the same way as sorcerers possessed by all nations. I.e they use the palette tree and use the 7 different magic groups (plus other derived arcane magic such as elementalism and necromancy as you will see later)

For each nation, the characteristics of your sorcerers are determined by the promotions you choose for them and by the paths you unlock from the palette tree.

Divine magic (such as Daemonology possessed by Scarthian priests), is unique to each civilisation and is completely separate from the palette tree and arcane spells

Hope this is informative!

Thank you, yes it was. Adding a unique set of magic for civilization will be quite the task. I commend you.

 

[magzhi]

maybe you decrease combat power of all relaeya units because they are peaceful and have no experience in warfare? for example give -15% to all new units and make that buff go down after their first battle

Hehe thanks

Divine magic will be more important to some civilisations (eg Scarthia and Essyliane), but less so for others (eg Rylonia).

Some civilisations will even have 'mixed' religions

More on this to be announced later

Hmm that could work...

Raelaya are peaceful, but that doesn't necesserily mean that they aren't experienced in warfare. 'Historically' they were Rylonian colonists who split from the empire to form Naeralith's only democratic state.

They don't like war, but aren't incapable of fighting. Likely their unique units will be geared more towards defense than conquest.

I'll ponder over your suggestion when myself and TheChanger start thinking of unique units properly

UPDATES

Added my Morzardrey unique building design!

Once I have posted a modified version of Raelaya's unique building design then unique buildings will be finished for all civs!

MORE UPDATES

Expanded on the nautical features found in the Terrain section

The percentages may need tweaking depending on the effect that they may have on the game.

I have this horrible image of a 20-tile storm moving across the map

Spoiler Nautical Features :

Im loving your changes to storms! the whole upgrade to tornado/hurricane/sandstorm/blizzard thing isa brilliant idea! i love it

I suspect fog should only form on land when on grassland or next to freshwater

I was thinking Reefs should act like peaks in that they are impassable to most naval units (except certain kinds with shallow hulls (ie Work Boats) and airships obviously)

everything else is excelent

I have this horrible image of a 20-tile storm moving across the map

Set a cap to the number of storms that can be adjacent before they stop spreading. id say 7 or so because of the hex system...

 

[TheChanger]

Al

i quite like this idea. i think its really good, just needs a little tweek. give Raelaya -10% attack strength and +10% Defence strength as a racial effect, but then make it so that their units get +10% attack strength within their borders. it would encourage turtling and defencive strategy and wouldnt make warmongering the best choice for the civ.

We could give them their 3rd trait: Defenders of Freedom (or something) -10% attack strength and +10% Defence strength to all units. Units within civ borders get +10% attack strength

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

EDIT: I also love Alvacon and Morzardrey design im so happy weve done the UB design *phew*... now i just need to finish their buttons :/

Hehe ty... I need to think on how tornadoes etc will work... pretty harsh I expect

Also, yeah maybe fog should be limited to more moist land regions... I'll think on this too!

Reefs... I suppose they would be a natural barrier. Good call. I'll change it

I would love to be a part of this in alpha testing. Not sure what other skills I can offer...
