Deluge - Floods target tile, same as destroy undead for undead and Fire creatures.
I suggest level 2

Dimensional summon Star Vampire, Hound of Tyndalas(sp?)

(Trouble with the beasts of HP Lovecraft and Cthulu is that they're top dog in most situations, but I always had a soft spot for the Star Vampires) The hound is a real laugh, not.

Probably makes them overpowered, but I'd like to see Liches get something at Death III (replacing the Archmage "Lichify" spell).

Something like "Slay Living", maybe : Kills a targeted unit, transforming it into an undead type with identical STR, under the caster's control...

 

[Silverkiss]

It would be cool, but it needs a chance to fail or it will be way overpowered.

 

[MrManNo1]

All of you are talking about making new Dimensional spells, but I always assumed there weren't dimensional spells because the mod team was waiting for the Hell map to be released. I think they have to do with sending units between different maps.

Slight adjustment to the current death summon mechanic:

When you cast a summon death unit spell on a tile with debris from a razed city, the summoned unit is permanent and won't disappear at the beginning of the next turn . However, the tile is cleaned up at the end of the turn when the spell is cast, in order to limit this effect.

When you raze a city, you kill a lot of people. Hence the death magic is stronger in that area.

There was talk about razed cities becoming death nodes, but I like that idea more.

 

[MrManNo1]

I don't like the idea of fallen cities becoming death nodes. That could be easily abused (especially in multiplayer), and could give some players unfair advantages for misusing a seemingly innocuous ability.

True enough.

...I think having liches should probably count as an additional diplomatic penalty, too.

 

[Chandrasekhar]

Well, you already need to have death mana to get liches in the first place.
