The layers on maps is a significant change. I will buy Dom6 and do some dry runs. Do not count me in for this game but please keep me in mind for future ones.You would have to be able to make it on time for the blitz, but I'd not be opposed.
Core changes of Dom6:
- There are layers to maps, in particular an underground. Xibala, Agartha, etc. really excell in these parts of the map.
- Maps can be terraformed with late game magic, as a result though custom maps are an absolute fucking bitch to make.
- Glamour Magic is a new path, it covers illusionary magic, luck, etc. It's pretty strong. It stole some stuff from Astral.
- Scales can now exceed 3 points in them maxing out at 5 but few nats can natively achieve even 3 in a scale. Usually anything beyond that requires spells or thrones to achieve. Some of these scales over 3 also have a malice effect to them too.
- Bless design has changed, if I wanted 5 stacks of superior morale F1 I could have a pretender with F1, N5 and dump all of those points into Superior Morale for example.
- Price changes for forts, labs, and temples. It is now Fort: 1000 Lab/Temple: 600 but you also get more gold and resources.
- UI is somehow more dogshit and they literally left out basic user interface for some things requiring you to use hotkeys like Saving/Loading pretenders.
- Dom6 has it's own server hosting and browser (I still opt for blitz server because it has features like a turn status indicator people can see) but still good.
- New Nats, Spells, Units, and Nat overhauls (Ashpodel is actually much better now)
- Some more modding capabilities
Thank you very much for the write up.
