The Shapings of Arda
#1
I shouldn't tease, I don't know why I do. Nothing is in stone, much is to be done. Who can foretell the future? But on that shimmering horizon, it seems there is, shaping, all on a new world, unseen before:

The Tyrant of Gor
The Demons of the First Plane
The Brotherhood of Sea & Earth
The Dwarven Lords of Myr
The Rangers of Rammanor
The White Wizard
The Disciples of the Witch Lord
The Drow Dominion
The Others
Hobbits & Company, Inc.
The First Born High Elves
The Pegasi Riders
The Great Ancient Lizard Kingdom
Amazon Masters of Horse and Plain
The Rebels of the Pale Illusionist

It's probably nothing...Just a dream...Be not troubled, Frodo....

You bastard. Now I want to know more, particularly about the Pegasai Riders!

Please do not take any of my comments as a personal insult or as a criticism of the game 'Alamaze', which I very much enjoy. Rather, I hope that my personal insight and unique perspective may, in some way, help make 'Alamaze' more fun, a more successful financial venture, or simply more sustainable as a long-term project. Anyone who reads this post should feel completely free to ignore, disregard, scorn, implement, improve, dispute, or otherwise comment upon its content.

Will this be a variation of Alamaze or the real Kingdoms of Arcania game?

As do I. They have not yet fully revealed themselves to me. I have climbed to their cliff homes, and a Chieftain is to meet with me, ah... soon.

I also received a certified letter from The Hobbits & Company, Inc. They want to sue me for releasing their name without written permission.

Can you hear the Demons of the First Plane laughing - or is it just me? Ha Ha.

YES!

The Pegasai Riders might take the place of the dragons. You'd have a kingdom capable of flight without all those worrisome "but how do they...?" questions. It could be pretty cool.

They all sound intreguing. The Others, the Brotherhood of Sea and Earth, and an illusionist kingdom? I'm excited, too bad we don't hava a timeline, even if it was 5 years in the future then we would, have a target to shoot for.

I'd rather not see a timeline based purely on speculation and enthusiasm.

What would "The Rebels of the Pale Illusionist" be about? Would this Pale Illusionist be an upstart wizard creating his own kingdom on the fringe of another kingdom?

I imagine that he would get some spells, such as the 'Invisible' Brigade around P-3 like the Sorcerer does. I think it might be cool if a couple of new spells were created just for him. How about something like these:

*Invisible Patrol. That could be useful for scouting, seraching unusual sightings, and protecting valuable wizards. It would be a P-2 spell.

*Glamor. I can't think of a better name, but it would be a spell that temporarily promotes a noble. A Governor would have the abilities of a Baron for a turn.

*Hide Character. If you have a noble that you want to keep hidden, like a king or the her to the throne, you might cast this spell to make them invisible for a turn.

There are some interesting possibilities with battle spells as well. There might be some illusion spells that seem very powerful during combat and make the enemy think they are taking more casualties than they really are. Battles could be won this way, but little real damage would be done.

How about a spell that creates the illusion of an army where there is none. A patrol could appear to be an army group.

I think that illusionists groups should be masked in certain terrains automatically.
