well i couldn't sit by just lurking in the forums any longer. i have enjoyed ffh2 allot and i had to try to help with the only thing i have Ideas. they might not be great but i have allot of them. if any of them help i will feel great and maybe i will get a unit named after me..J/k
I know allot of my ideas are just flavor but to me the idea of your civ becoming your personal empire sounds great. i do know that this process of building the mod would create a game that would become so large it would collapse under its on weight. but if i can add anything to this mode i would be proud.
i wish i new how to make models because with so much of my ideas being are about flavor so would use new models.

My FIRST ARE WHERE I WILL EDIT TO ADD MORE IDEAS SO DON"T FORGET THEM
the caps make me feel pushy

Luchuirp
bound dwarfs
how about dwarf golem unit that is called the bound, specialy trained dwarfs that learn to become one with there golems. the golem is almost like a suit or something he rides. the real benifit is that it would be able to gain exp. because of the living dwarf and the dwarf could allso repair the golem in battle. the unit skills would make this unit very powerful so it would have to be the highest level maybe a limitation of upgrading from a 6lvl dwarf unit. witch this civ are pretty weak. the power of a golem with less limits. it would be nice to have 3 units with the chance to act like commandos. promote a unit to do any number of tasks, like defend with demon slayer promotion when the armageddon counter gets high.
the juggernaut
this would be there seige weapon, a lumbering golem with cannons on his back used to bombard citys. good defence but no real attack because it has to set up to fire.

spire of the ancestors
how about a pyramids inspired wonder , you get the power to create mummys that turn one unit to a undead unit. it would let you create one more highest level unit kind of like liches do. it also give a vunarbilty to fire but a resistants to regular damge. we should make them the different than liches by making them based on life mana. they are a beings of pure life and light not the tainted drive to not let go of the mortal coil. they are heros of the past who have return to defend life.
the labyrinth
a wonder that after built if you sacrafice enough units or population what ever tests best would create a unit,,, can you guess it,, i know you can. a minator. A super bezerker unit that could have the limitation of one at any time. this would work very well with slaver empires.

Sounds interguing, could work like the great commander GP

Meh, maybe. Undead have been done to death though, not much of a pun intended

the infection, a religion that is about plagues and disease. they have ablity to create maggots that cant attack but have strong defence. the infect land to work them and can do that out side of there citys boarders plus the create alot of unhealthiness, so if let them in the can cripple other citys. the citys of this faith also use unhealthiness in stead of health to improve there citys.
they would have a building that would give there units desease promotion ,, i guess plague carrier promotion so it didn't hurt there own units.

If you want to get your suggestion included, here's one thing I've observed about the team (well, observed and observed, heard them say several times) - they design primarily out of functional, not flavor needs. In other words, suggestions that have flavor but don't really add any new function or correct existing problems will most likely not be included. Suggestions that are flavorful and fix existing problems have a much better chance of being added. As an example of this, see this post of Kael's.

elohim instead of bezerkers should have flagllants it sounds way more fitting. crazed protectors of the holy land.

i also like the idea of having hidden promotion for assains it would keep them useful threw out the game i just don't like that when they upgrade they would give that promotion to there new counter parts.

ljosalfar should have savage elfs instead of bezerkers and it wold be easy to do i think the warhammer mod has war dancers that would work

i think slavery should be civic that is open to more civs. it has been used by allmost all civs in one form or another. like the fact that surfs in europe pretty much were slaves. they were people owned by there lord.

how about a thief unit opened up by thieves guild that is fast and hidden that gains more money from pillaging improvements. it gives you the chance to make money while being a real jerk. and make deception alittle more fun. it would be nice to have more under handed slash sneaky tactics. if you fallow this path you might be weaker in the way of unit power at first but if you keep your friends from seeing you as a thorn in there side you would be able to sap there strenght and added it to yours till you become the real power.

the loyalty trait should keep you from becoming a lowly demon in hell when you die for your heart was pure to your faith and would go to your personal gods heaven. it would a real reason to use the spell. my loss will not be hells gain by the virtue of my soliders hearts. with the fact it only works with evil empires it would help OO or Leaves if they are fighting with Mr Demons civ.

i think every religion should have an avatar they should have a chance to get one so late game battles never end up being a rune lover verses one other person with mr. mis. if every one is close it should become a battle of the titans. it is a idea used in most games that works. because if you are getting schooled a avatar will end your pain quik but if you are close any one should have a chance to stop the advance with there own avatar. grigori should have the hardest avatar to get thats open to only them because they believe in the one true god. he should becalled messiah and be the most powerful, unit that is near impossible to get.

i think the amurites best looking model is there assassin i think he should become there shadow. he is too cool looking to become under used in late games

the orc shadow should be replaced with a unit called the gremlin. they are sneeky and very good at making things brake down. you could make it less powerfull but give it an abilty like the war machine that it gains exp by destroying improvements.

i think there should be a little more help finding shadows. i have maney times had a large empire that has been assulted by 3 or more civ's shadows and getting my marksmen from place to place all over my empire took too much time. the floating eye spell should be available to more people or give the skill to one other 4th tier unit maybe inquisitors it is there duty to find the heretics

you have alot of zeal, but you need to mix form with function if you want to do more than start a discussion...

Proper puncuation and grammar would go far towards increasing your odds of being taken seriously as well.

Just a thought...

oh, well, i was too excited as well, when i saw ffh2 in development

If that was a qualification then I would be unable to submit ideas.

Rail, the advice they are offering is good. Try to find places where we have problems, then find a way to fix it that has great flavor. But, don't let that advice keep you from offering whatever ideas you would like.

I read every thread in this forum, and most of the design team does too. Unfortunatly we don't have time to reply to every post. I wrote the following when this forum was opened to the public, it is just as true now: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=3706945&postcount=1.

Sounds like a good replacement for the Horseman. How many dwarves do you see riding horses, anyway?

 

[rail's road]

thanx kael.
I have lots more ideas and i will keep posting. i think one of the the things that have made this mod great is the people making it not just there skill.

In fire you see them riding boars.

 

[Kael]

In fire you see them riding boars.

And Rhinos.

 

[QES]

And Rhinos.

I have this immage in my head of a dwarf riding a rhino into battle like slim pickin's rode the a-bomb down through the sky.

I expect all cavalry dwarves to yell "yee haa" from now on.

I'll let you get to work on that.

True, but are they for both Dwarf civs, or just the Khazad?
I would think transport golems of some sort (if not full-fledged mechs) would be more likely for the Luchuirp.

They are currently for both civs. But if I could get art of a dwarf riding a golem I would switch that in for the luchurip.

but what immunities would a dwarf riding a golem have?
