Hm. As of now i really start to dislike Wild Mana a lot.
Being swarmed by Strength 5 Axemen in turn 75 is no fun. The same goes for Strength 6 Stags, which will raze your cities. Normal players are often still stuck with Str3 Warriors at that time. Its all just a bit too much.
The same goes for ridiculously overpowered Goblins, which btw show the wrong unit type symbol - at least in my game the all had a "melee"-Unit symbol, while obviously being a revon unit.
The only good thing about Wild Mana is that in many cases the AI's will be wiped out by equally overpowered barbarians.
Oh - and why do my forest constantly spawn invisible spiderbabies which eat my workers?

You got a savegame for that? I'd love to see this turn 75 axeman swarm. Are you playing quick speed immortal or something?
Your forests? Spiders do not spawn in occupied territory, and they do not stay in cultural borders. They obtain the cautious promotion until they have left, and do not attack, they simply try to flee.
SO what really happened, was you sent a worker outside of your borders to work, and it got eaten by a baby spider, wihtotu checking with a scout to see if it was safe first. Also, unlike vanilla FFH, spiders don;t just stay in the same place, they move about, and they specifically like to gravitate towards weak targets.. It's wild mana.... and there are many spiders, and baby spiders are great to catch and raise into giant spiders by animal handling promoted scouts.

Emperor, quick
It happened on a peninsula which belonged 100% to me. Suddenly a worker gets eaten by a baby spider. I build a Hunter, go there, kill a baby spider. A few turns later the same thing happens. A spider eats a worker right in the very heart of my empire.
So, no, something else has happened. And i think its pretty annoying.

actually this thing with spiders eating workers deep in my territory happened to me as well, not sure if it's working as intended or not though. imho it only makes sense that they eat workers if given the chance.
Yep, spiders ate at least 5 workers in my current Amurite game. At the moment I have them paired with archers. I don't remember them doing this before (not inside borders, though they ARE barbarian-flag not animal-flag (faction?)).
Guess it will just force us to get hunter/fawn/ranger/whatever and run around with them occasionally ?
Also, capturing dragons(10%+ chance with priests) and using their aoe near those massive attacking AI stacks is perhaps a little bit too good? Also lost a spellbook to a white dragon AOE attack (since its damage limit is 0%, like bronze dragon). Good thing they're not captureable by subdue beast, that would be way easy. (this is with the dragon thing challenge on)

Giant spiders have barbarian flag cuz they are HN, baby spiders are animals though.
Valkrionn
The Hamster King
It is very simple to go in, and add a line of code telling the game that any HN unit with the bAnimal tag should use the Animal flag. Well, technically it's more like 2 'if' checks and 2 lines for the new flag, but that's only because you need to add it in two different places.

You think it is too much? I borrowed the idea from MagisterMod as It sounded pretty cool.
Patch 7.31 (breaks saves)
Patch 7.31 (breaks saves)
- fix Elohim can build Chancel of Guardians Building
- added unique button image for automatic terraforming
- added missing art for Malakim+ module (somehow got lost)
- added missing txt keys
- added Esus Mechanic (Promotions onUnitBuild) from TweakMod (by Rystic)
Yeah, way too much, maybe command I, and let them spend promos for the rest, but giving them even 50% domination off the bat is just crazy powerful. Especially with dragons all over the place.

how does it give only 20% ? isn't it cumulative with the other three for a total of 80% ? does it mean you get C4 for free and can then buy C1-3 with XP?
[to_xp]Gekko
QCT junkie
they don't start with C1, the good thing about giving them C4 is allowing all priests to get it instead of just Order priests... having priests start with C1 could be a nice new trait for minor leaders though
