Pact of the Nilhorn

That actually sounds like a really good idea to me. It is basically what I was planning to do anyway, except for the Great Bard Part. Thematically it fits perfectly for a Bard to be used, and mechanically it makes one of the weakest GP more useful.

By limit of X, I presume you mean a National Limit, so you can have X at a time, right?'

I'm thinking Great Bards will definitely be able to build it, even if it could be built directly too.

Here's a thought. Have the wonder be similar to a religious building, but build-able on Cartography with a Great Bard. The Wonder then allows you to build National Unit: Hill Giant with a limit of X. Fits the flavor, prevents it from showing every game, and actually makes it worth it to invest in Bard GPP when you are not trying for a cultural victory.

Thoughts?

That is a really good idea in fact I have been saying that myself on the but yea that would be a good way of doing it and keeping the stooge names... (granted it wasnt in this thread)

Magister- yeah, similar to the other National Units like Knights, etc. This also gives a (potential) military bonus to investing in some of the early bard-enabling techs. Usually, I ignore them in favor of Might or Magic techs.
