Frozen Civilization v1.02
For Fall from Heaven 2 0.40n
This civ has been in the development for some time. A while ago, FFH 2 first got me into modding, and I wanted to (like many others) make new civilizations. But the types of civs I wanted to make weren't normal civs- rather, I wanted to expand the number of summonable civs. Like the Infernals and Mercurians. And since Winter was my favorite part of the game (Illians = favorite civ), I chose to make an Ice "divine civ".
The lore behind the Frozen is simple enough. Taranis, former archangel of Mulcarn, is imprisoned. Even if you beat him in the Age of Ice scenario, I assume he is retrapped (instead of "killed"). The Illians cast a ritual powerful enough to free him called Liberation, expecting him to pledge allegiance to Auric Ulvin. But... he doesn't, and instead gathers all the former demons of ice together. His goal: to bring back the Age of Ice, and to ascend to the God of Winter's position. Taranis is capable of ascending to produce a "Taranis Ascended" unit.
If you have a suggestion or bug report, please post it here. I welcome feedback.
As of v1.0, this is probably a finished product. I don't intend to add any new content, but if there still are bugs or balance issues, I will fix them. I'll also update for compatibility when a patch for FFH 2 is released.

Features:
- This mod adds a new summonable, ice-themed civ, the Frozen, to the game.
- The Frozen are summoned by a ritual called Liberation, which requires the tech Elementalism and for the summoner to be either evil or neutral. Liberation also gives the summoner a few Ice Golems.
- The Frozen are led by Taranis the Unchanging, archangel of Mulcarn, who is also their civilization hero. His traits are Agnostic, Arcane, Defender, and Fallow. The hero unit has the Unchanging promotion, which makes him immortal (in that he must be killed twice in one turn and returns to his owner's capital on death).
- Like Auric, Taranis is capable of ascending and creating an Auric Ascended unit, as well as creating all the "Spells of Winter" (Samhain, The White Hand, The Deepening, The Draw, Ascension, and Stir from Slumber). Since he is also their hero, doing this kills the Taranis unit in-game.
- The Frozen are Fallow, and gain population just as the Infernals do. When units with the Winterborn or Frozen Soul promotions die, the Frozen get a Frozen Soul, a unit equivalent to the Infernal Mane.
- Frozen Unique Units:
- Aquilan: Replaces the Knight
- Frost Giant: Replaces the Berserker
- Ice Golem: Replaces the Longbowman
- Kocrachon: Replaces the Chariot
- Nive: Replaces the Ranger
- Winter Wolf: Replaces the Hunter
- Frozen Unique Buildings:
- Frozen Palace: Replaces Palace, provides Ice and Law Mana, as well as Iron
- Swamp of Souls: Replaces Aqueduct, gives production bonuses at cost of health
- Temple of the Hand: Replaces Pagan Temple, same as the Illian UB
- Other Frozen Stuff:
- The Frozen Worldspell is called Wintering, and it spreads the Wintered promotion to around 20% of living units. It also turns all Blizzards inside Frozen territory into Winter features.
- The Winter feature provides +2 production and commerce bonuses to the Frozen alone.
- Unit with the Ice Demon promotion, the Frozen racial promotion, pass the Frozen Soul promotion to enemies in combat.
- The Kocrachon unit passes the Nested promotion to enemies in combat, which has a chance of killing the unit with it and spawning several Young Kocrachon units under either Frozen or barbarian control.
- This mod also adds Blizzards, capable of moving around and spreading ice terrain, that begin to spawn after the Deepening is completed.
- It also increases the powers of Auric Ascended and Taranis Ascended:
- Taranis and Auric have gained +10 Ice Affinity, which means they start out at 70, as both their palaces provide Ice Mana
- They can also spread ice terrain around the map as they move, in an effect similar to the Temple of the Hand.
- They can cast a greater version of the Slow spell (Ice I), with a two-plot radius.
- They can cast a spell called Summon Winter Creatures, which lets the player choose which type of "winter creature" they want to summon.
- This mod also gives both the Frozen and Illians a Mulyalfar Elf unit, a Druid UU that can use the Freeze Forest spell, which either creates snow under forest or a forest on a snow plot.
- In-game documentation is available both for the Frozen, for Blizzards, and for the Orb of Sucellus mechanic, under the "Fall from Heaven 2 Concepts" section of the pedia. Other things, like new promotions, buildings, and units, have strategy and help text available as well.
