I think that you should make golden ages a little longer. 10 turns perhaps.

I like the idea, but its 8 by default and 10 doesn't seem like much of a change. How about 12, a 50% increase in duration?

Okay, this will encourage me to use the GP's for golden ages now. Gotta love the SDk.

Okay I've been playing and found some bugs.
a) The ritualist wasn't able to build temples.
b) No promotions are available to the undead units. This includes vampires, so I got erally annoyed in my calabim game.
c) Anything you can do to increase teh number of animals out there would be welcome. I found almost none.
d) I literally built a city that had 6 sugars in it's fat cross. Please do something to spread resoruces out.
e) Great mod I can't wait for the next one. I noticed in the spells thread that some of the spells have the + mark, meaning they are in. WIll you release them this weekend?

WOW!!!!
Um quick thing.
I think that the taskmaster should also start with subdue animal, since that way he can capture human's and elves and whatnot for the carnivals.

Okay my first thing is that the breeding pit is screwed up. There is no picture. Also, both it and the Freak show list no effects when you put your mouse on them.

A few More bugs:
The conjurer starts off summoning only sand lions, and he doesn't gain any XP frm it so its hard to level him. He doesn't even gain any xp when his lions kill something.
The feed ability doesn't work.
Who can i transfer vampirism too? It didn't work to saverous, but it did for hemah.
That vampire hero doesn't gain immortailty from killing, not sure if she is supposed to.

OKay another thing is that i think it would be cooler if the spring spell created on oasis instead of turning a desert into a plains. Also, why does scorch only work on plains? I think it should work on any square, but have a chance of failing.

Cosmetics like text and stuff wont be added until we have a final copy for the functions (otherwise i will be spending a bunch of time adding and changing them, and i will miss some and they will go out with obsolete descriptions).
I got the breeding pit fixed, thanks.

He should get xp sometimes when he conjurers one. And yeah, I gotta get the summoned monster xp passed back to the caster, still working on that.
Right now it only works on bloodpets (i need the ability to target creatures to be able to open it up).
The victim has to be at least 6th level and alive. I think Saverous is a demon so he wouldnt qualify.
Very good catch Loki, this actually will keep werewolve,s disease, and subdue animals from working too. Eventually this tracked back to a tab instead of a space in the livingUnitCombats definitions. Crazy whitespace sensative programming language!!!

Thats the way I was going to do it origionally but I choose this way because:
1. I thought it would be confusing to the casual player when the spell didnt do anything.
2. It also creates a nice balance with the spring spell (players can grab a rank of water to recover from the damage a a fire player did to them).
The reason it only works on plains is because it provides a natural limit to the spell power and makes the tiles strategy a little more interesting. A city on grasslands now has the additional advantage of being protecting from scorch, while a city surrounded by plains may be vulnerable. and I thought it would keep the spell from being overpowered by players using it to decimate ai lands.

I think that more promotions should be open to the vampires. All you need is one quick growing city and you can get a vampire wtih all the promotions in no time. Also, they aren't able to learn any spells.
Also, how are you doing adding in the nodes? I'm very excited.
