Gifts for All Thread - Dominions 4: Thrones of Ascension

I did this mod as a side-project while working on Bretonnia.

Gift of Reason is awesome. But unfortunately it is pretty expensive, but it kind of needs to be since it is really good on Tarts. But people need their mad moose thugs . So I done did and made some specific Gift of Reson type spells that are more restricted, but cheaper and easier to cast. I also made vanilla GoR and divine name cheaper cause why not while I was at it.

List of changes: Feel free too criticize the pricing and path requirements and whatever. These are a result of about an hour of random thinking and consulting the goon IrC channel.

New Spells:

Gift of Civilization: Thaumathurgy 3, Nature 2 to cast, 4 nature gems. Can only be cast at animals

Gift of Cunning: Thaumathurgy 4, Astral 1 / Nature 1, to cast, 8 astral gems. Can only be cast at magic beings who are not mindless

Gift of Ire: Thaumathurgy 5, Astral 2 / Death 1 to cast, 12 astral gems. Can only be cast at undead

Gift of Malice: Blood 5, Blood 2 / Nature 1 to cast, 18 slaves. Can only be cast at demons

Changes to old spells:

Gift of Reason: costs now 11 gems (20 in vanilla), but cannot target undead anymore

Divine Name: costs now 13 astral gems (25 in vanilla), only requires 4 astral to cast (5 in vanilla for reasons?)

So have fun with crocodile thugs or something.

I like this idea.

Looks very cool, but I don't understand the reasoning of Gift of Malice having N1 tacked on there. I say raise the blood level if you think B2 is too easy, but don't restrict it to the fraction of nations that get BN mages.

My reasoning was that Gifting in the base game is restricted to N and S paths and I kind of wanted to tie the new spells to those paths. Just for thematic reasons and just not to get too hog wild with this.

It was suggested to me in the other forum that the demon for might be undercosted if you roughly count 2 slaves as equal to 1 gem. Do people feel the same way here? I could scrounge up a update this weekend.

Love the way you think, thanks for this.

Crocodiles? Asp turtles baby!

Asp turtles remind me to ask: has your underwater improvement mod got a Dom4, Burnsaber? I've looked for it all over and can't find it anywhere.

There is a dom4 version done by someone else. I don't find it very mature for now.

I have no plans to update UWGIM, that torch has been passed to kiantuatha in the dom4mods forums. My original fuel for making the mod this dumb mp game where I was crippled because I was Oceania. Now after all these years the fire has dwindled and I have interest in the project anymore. I'd just half-ass it out of sense of obligation, better for someone who actually kind of cares to deal with it.

Sorry bro, I just don't care for the blight of the undersea kingdoms anymore.
