RifE Blogpost: Leaders Table

[Jabie]

It might be quite interesting if some Great People names could be linked to specific Civs, as well as drawn from a generic list. For instance, all the Infernal Great Generals names could be taken from the Lord of the Balors (?) scenario. This'd provide a nice cross-over between the scenarios and RifE without requiring those leaders.

I'll miss Utiruso- I like his art, the Defender trait, and having a male leader for that civilization (just as I hope at least a few of the the ?'s- for the Archos, Cualli, Grigori, Khazad, Luchuirp, Malakim- are female, and that the Mazatl get a guy) was nice. (I found Camilon Jivorn's art ridiculously ugly, too, though, so I can't complain about his removal.)

IIRC, they'll have a male leader.

Also, the Mazatl already have a male leader. And it looks like all three of the new ones for them are male.

What?! No love for the hot female lizard babes?

sally is disappoint

I'm not sure many people know that Mihuatl of the Cualli is a female. Remember that they're reptilians and don't necessarily have... secondary sexual attributes.

Oh, I knew. I knew. In fact, I have quite the crush on her .

I assumed all the lizard leaders were male because of the Aztec-like society.

I'm sorry you didn't like Utiruso's art. Maybe its just me, but the subjective reasoning of "i don't like the art" seems a poor basis on which to make gameplay decisions, you can always change the art. im actualy pretty indifferent to the art myself, but he was my favorite leader because of his trait, defender + emergent gave a strong defense and alot of options to the svarts. svart assassins with homeland and stalking could rip apart any invasion! It was alot of fun to play defense as Utiruso. Put him back in, imo.

 

[Opera]

Well, Mazatl / Cualli actually always looked to me to be Maya / Aztec. Although there's not much of that except a sort of acquired linking of lizards & mesoamerican societies. Not sure where I got that from

 

[Opera]

I don't need Utiruso to make the Svarts have a leader with Defender.

 

[Abremms]

no, you don't need him, but according to the table there are no plans for there to be a leader with his traits to replace him, hence my post

I don't mean to offend, im a huge fan of the work this team does. i just wanted to express an opinion

 

[Opera]

What table?

Edit: damn, yeah, I thought you had somehow gained access to our traits table...

 

[Abremms]

lol no, just looked up the leaders in the wiki

 

[Opera]

Actually we do have a new Svart planned, I was just unsure at the time I made the table

 

[Mikka]

I freely and sheepishly admit I was just looking at the leaders on the wiki, in which Mihuatl has no bio and I made the assumption of 'male'. I really can't figure out why I thought Hianthrogh was female, though. Is he female in either Wildmana? Probably not, in which that was just my own brain being an idiot.

My request was one of selfishness, anyway: in truth, what I want is for the Gigori and the two dwarven races to have a female leader, because I want to play them and I'm a brat who goes by the 'well, I'm female, so I'd like to play a female' even though I of course had no problem playing Mario and Link all those years growing up with video games. Certainly wouldn't mind seeing the Malakim and the Archnos and that one lizard group get gals, but as I'm not as eager to play them, I don't care as much. (See? Selfishness as my motive, right there. XD)

However, you guys are good about modmodmodmods (FFH->FF->Rife->Mod!, right?), and I imagine that if for some insane reason after 1.4 comes out, someone wanted to create a modmod adding a leader or two, you wouldn't feel a need to eat their soul (hopefully?).

(...certainly easier then my dream to make a new civ, which bites me at every turn)

Um. Thanks for listening, all the same, and I'm sure you'll do what's best for the mod.

 

[Opera]

Archos and Malakim will get a female leader each. I'm about to add one to both Dwarven civs as well

No Grigori one yet though, but I have some ready.

Actually, when I first started LENA (my previous mod, of Orbis), it was to add some more female leaders

We are very supportive of modmods; In fact, thanks to ArcticNightWolf's efforts we now allow modules to utilize python (making more advanced modules possible, and allowing them to install alongside each other without issue), and we have a Launcher program which allows you to quickly and easily activate/deactivate modules.

I had an idea I posted about a while ago in the Testers forum about a female leader for the Grigori, the post should still be there but I haven't had time to mod her as things got very busy in RL
