"Hitting enemy thugs with surprise frozen heart spam works the first time every time since nobody bothers to put cold resistance on their thugs."

Frost Brands, the go-to weapon for thugging, have cold res +5. Also Golems, a premier thug, can't be affected by frozen heart because they are inanimate and thus no heart to freeze.

All of your units have death recruitment and your dominion spreads death scales anyway so it's basically just a free 120 design points. I guess the idea is if you take a fort from someone you can't immediately start popping out discounted units if your dom hasn't caught up, though invading outside of your cold dom is usually a bad idea

MA Ermor got a change where Death 3 is the preferred scale so it isn't just free points so i am sure the mod author took this as a good precedent and

The mod is inspired by the short story Princess Lotus by the author Pu Songling. It's a pretty sweet 7 page story about bees and dreams.

This mod also has a few guest stars from other classic Chinese literature-

For instance if you like Dream of Red Mansions then have we got a PG chassis for you:


the goddess of shipping

Or maybe you have gotten lategame conjuration and have also read the Water Margin:


all bees are brothers

Sometimes though, you just think an Empress on a palanquin carried by bees would be a funny idea and then Tollymain makes the best sprite imaginable for it:



It's about bees pretending to be people and cosplaying T'ien C'hi (T'ien B'ee)

Well I know who I'm gonna play in all mod games from now on.

Oroochi is going to test drive them in Mods4 now in signups it sounds like and we'll see how they play versus humans.

The main 'gimmick' of the nation is these guys-



Mediocre but sacred infantry that freespawn beespawn at forted temples in your candles at a current rate of 2d3units/month. The magic spear is like the Theodoros one insofar as the enemy makes a mrn check to take half damage. Their max hp decays from homesick at 10%/turn away from their home fort but they do revive every spring, barring soul slays or you losing the home fort of course. How obnoxious they get is probably proportional to the bless they have.

I recall homesickness interacting oddly with Regen and HP blesses. If they keep getting in fights and keep getting blessed, you might be able to push them a lot father than you'd think.

Regen doesn't, iirc, help with homesickness. Ethereal would be waaaaay too much though.

edit- basically if anything seems overpowered it was because I was balancing it in my head against an era where EA Pan and Helheim exist.

According to all known laws of dominions, there is no way a bee should be able to hold a spear. Its claws are too small to lift the haft off the ground. The bee, of course, stabs you anyway, because bees don't care what pretender gods think is impossible.

Weird poo poo sometimes happens if you combine it with a bless that increases max hp. Though that might have been patched out for all I know.

I did some testing again to make sure but yes. Homesick units get the regen status but regenerate no hp. You don't regain hp normally either. You basically can't heal naturally outside of your home province.

It was such a good maneuver by the mod writer to have the Clowns have like, actual historical change happening in general and even better that it was specifically "no tragic clowning."

It's real good.

So what kind of fort PD does Karnaac have anyway. I feel like U should at least be better off because they probably do blunt damage here. I guess we find out later.

Dark clowns are soon, a tragic clown is a later hero, and much later on we'll be able to summon a clown so old he still remembers evil clowning.


They're Contortionists and I'll show them next turn. In general though I don't really want to overload one update with 10 descriptions of all the non-clowns troops so I'll probably do them piecemeal on slower turns.

There's definitely a build of kirkostaculis that focuses a lot more on getting scales and unicyclists/stiltwalkers/strongmen than I have, leaving the clowns to be more of a targeted strike force (e.g. with magic weapon bless only).

I'm also going to do an update on the clown pretenders that I did not take as it'd be a shame to miss out on those too.
