Caster of Magic Release thread : latest version 6.06!

[Seravy]

I think Despot or Tyrant is better than Inquisitor. Or Khan. Inquisitor sounds like it has something to do with temples and shrines.

Khan, i don't think so, that's just a title like czar or king or pharaoh or caesar.
Despot and Tyrant, maybe, I can see those raising taxes but killing every other race, not so much, same problem as Overlord. Also, feels a bit like a name for a personality or objective, not a retort. Inquisitor on the other hand implies disposing of "non-believers", but not much relation to taxes. It's somewhat redundant with cult leader though and has no connection to religious buildings so it's also not a good name I admit.
Xenephobic is used in Master of Orion but there it's diplomacy related as far as I remember and again the word has no relation to taxes.
Although maybe we should worry about testing the retort for balance before worrying about the name.

I like despot and tyrant. Hive mind would work too for me. It's amazing on klackons and klackons are bugs. Who's to say though your wizard isn't ruling over normal humans enslaved to their will like the borg though?



Did you look into the bug that makes wraith form prevent resist magic from being cast on units that already have the wraith form buff? It returns the message stating the unit already has magic immunity. At least it does on my elana the priestess in my current game.

is this 2.4? http://seravy.x10.mx/CasterofMagic/Caster.zip
or 2.3? or something else? that's the file I've been playing, was it updated today?

Seravy, do you think it is possible to allow units to move on the northern and southern edge of the map?

At present units cannot enter the topmost and bottommost tiles which prevents traversing the polar regions by foot.

Can you make the bottom and top of the map connected (keep going south and you end up in the north) so the world is a torus instead of a tube roll?

-Overlord is renamed to Inquisitor (think that's a more suitable name, inquisition has a history of killing everyone who is "different", being an "overlord" doesn't really imply it), still not sure if this is the best name for the retort but probably better.

How about naming it Slaver? This will imply that the slave trade and slave labor generate the increased taxation income, and that the conquered cities of other races are all immediately razed because their inhabitants are enslaved and not allowed anymore to live in own separate cities.

2.4, that file always contains the newest version.

That wouldn't make sense, if you reach the north pole and continue you don't "warp" to the south pole, instead you are still up north but on the opposite site.

Interesting, I always thought they can. Regardless, stay away from that place, they are tundra tiles that count as being part of the ocean, not a landmass. And by that I mean the top 2 and bottom 2 rows.

That's a nice idea, I'll consider it. Would use "Slave Mastery" instead I think.

Yes, this would be even better name.

I would call this retort "Racist".

Along that line, how about zealotry? or zeal?

Yes that would be the most accurate name but also not a word I would like to see in the game.
