Let the people decide

[Fluffy203]

Ok guys this is about my holy mod , but i'm having trouble with units ,  i need you guys to decide or tell me what you think should go with the faction.

Considering:
Phoenix
Chimera

[Scenariole]

How about holy grail upgrade?

How about the Repentance upgrade? Which gives all units +1 regen if possible or more hp

Umm:

Teutonic Knights
Crusaders
Angels
Worshipper
Priest

[John.d.h]

I guess it kinda depends on the symbolism and themes of the faction.  For example, for my Sun faction I'm using a Phoenix because they both have a strong theme of rebirth (the sun being "reborn" every morning and the phoenix being reborn upon death).  I like to select units based on metaphorical connections like that.  If you're looking for a holy flying unit, maybe a griffin would fit the bill?  Lions and eagles are both often considered to be noble and majestic, and the griffin combines the two.  The Ziz also crossed my mind, since it's the only giant bird I can think of with significance in a religious context.  A chimera could be cool, but I don't know how well it fits.

I have a couple of upgrades i like those , but i have a vessel which is a knight/crusader , legionnaire is an angelic warrior, and also a high priest thanks for throwing out ideas tho =)

@John: I was thinking griffin or great eagle , but those have already been done and didn't know if people would be interested in those , but i like the lion , thats the main reason i was going with the chimera

but i have a vessel

Don't you mean 'Vassal'?  A vessel is a container, especially one used to carry sailors and objects across seas, or just a jug or something.  Now 'vassal' indicates he is of some power but under a lord, like in medieval times when knights would pay homage to lords in return for land and peasants, a good example of vassalage.

[Fluffy203]

no i mean a vessel , his whole purpose of being is to carry out the orders of the holy empire

[Scenariole]

A phoenix was never in the bible as a good thing... Not from what I have read

[John.d.h]

Yeah, I seem to remember a few Bible verses referring to believers as "earthen vessels", like containers for um... well I'm not sure really. ???

[Fluffy203]

see thats what i'm trying to figure out , what fits and what doesn't

[Loronal]

Phoenix certainly (id love to be in this mod). The Chimera is very evil it gives a bad idea as a two-headed dragon.

[John.d.h]

Chimeras are only two-headed dragons in that *other* fantasy RTS game...

In Greek mythology, the Chimera (Greek Χίμαιρα (Chímaira); Latin Chimaera) was a monstrous fire-breathing creature of Lycia in Asia Minor, composed of the parts of multiple animals

hydras could be a option ?
they have 3 heads (:

if you are going for a Holy mod (which should be the counter to the Dark Magic), you need to have a Paladin

my concept of the Paladin is that it is a high-level dual-role unit: when you make it, it is a foot-soldier with a strong attack that has a bonus against cavalry and archers; but you can mount it (by using a reversible morph procedure) to give it a pike that has a bonus against foot-soldiers.

see what im saying?

PS I forgot to say that in foot-soldier mode, the Paladin would be weak to cavalry, and if it is mounted, it would be weak to archers.

[Fluffy203]

Thank you for that input , but i have a paladin , but i love these ideas keep them coming 

[Zoythrus]

if you dont mind me asking...what does your paladin do?

[Fluffy203]

Paladin:Unique warrior , med hp , med atk , great def , power of heal and smite.

[Zoythrus]

good idea! i hate it when cool sounding units are worthless...

[Fluffy203]

I completely agree
