So I just saw The Mist, and it gave me an idea for a mod for FFH2. It's basically three buildable wonders:

Ethereal Portal- spawns beast-like creatures similar to the ones in The Mist. Some of the creatures are barbarian, some will serve you for a limited time. All begin with hidden nationality

Portal of the Damned- spawns skeletons, wraiths, and other undead units. Can be a buildable wonder or a start-of-game bonus. If it's a bonus, the undead units are barbarian, if it's a wonder, they belong to the creator

Portal of Dreams (my personal fav)- Spawns totally random units with totally random promotions. They disappear in a certain number of turns unless they win in combat, like host of the einjerjar.

What dyu guys think?
 
I like it. Please do it as a modmod. :)
 
Ideas are OK, but making them as modmod will be probabilly impossible. Python coding required.
 
Um...yeah, if ideas are impossible, how did FfH come to be? Or CivIV? Need I go on. Ideas are always doable, despite the fact that they sometimes require python codin.
 
I'm well aware of that. My point is maybe the person who suggested this, mortcalavin, should learn python and do it himself.

Huh? Python's really not bad. I'd recommend to anyone to read through some of the mod's Python, particularly CvEventManager.py and CustomFunctions.py. Once you get the hang of it, it's really easy to read, and gives some interesting insight into how the game works (in, in, in, ugh).

As for making these various "Shadow Portals", the easiest way would probably just rip half the code from the Sheiam's portals.

See? It ain't that hard. Takes some learnin but ain't that hard.
 
I would like to see portal of the damned as a unique feature :-). Then you could have a "destroy the portal of the damned' event too!
 
That would be cool.
