hmmmm... grail creatures... great concept but i dont know how that would fit especially that there are already tier 7 creatures unless an extra rank would be placed in the battlefield... anyway, great job! keep it great.

my 15cents

Well, it is always interesting to offer gamer with another superpower.
some idea when it comes to balancing:
* like said, the grail building itself presents a strong edge in town economics (and army power hence), but things could be different if player choose between 2 outcomes from his tear of Asha
1. building the Grail building
2. "convert" the tear of Asha into the Grial creature (the ultimate creature equivalant at least to 2 weeks population of lv.7 creatures)
each choice backs up a distinctively different strategy: 1 to boost overall power in a long run while 2 to instantly gain superpower (for imminent seige or rush or town defence)

alternatively
* we could expand the idea of tear of Asha abit and create
- tear of Asha: allow grail building
- blood of Asha: grant THE grail creatuer
- tooth of Asha: a set of top artifects

again, just my 15 cents

Inetesting...I like the concept of "Blood of Asha" that just sounds awesome.  Perhaps Scale or Bone for the others, tooth doesn't sound as mystical.  But Bone makes her seem dead...

anyway, good to see you again Nion.  Can you tell us what's happening with H6?

teeth are never mythical, you are spot on Dayster.
but the reason I considered tooth over scale or bone is because in my vision it was during a heated fight between Asha and Urgash when "fractures" of Asha fell on "earth" --- they surely need to be minor enough not to imply Asha is severely wounded (let alone death, promodial gods CAN'T BE KILLED).
<on another day: does Tear of Asha mean "she" has been crying?for what?>

anyway I am glad that you are glad that I am back, in fact I never left. sorry for my lazy inputs though.

as for H-VI, {{{hush hush and off the record}}}, all I can say is that key people working on the project ARE SERIOUS READERS of this forum, so if we keep up the energy field, great things are GONNA happen.
I know I am not being satisfyingly specific but that's the best I <<can>> offer at this moment.

Horn of Asha then, perhaps, or claw?  Although the other two are liquid (tear, blood) what are some other liquids?

[mind went to a bad place...lol]

Never mind the liquid idea...

Also, Grr Arg for telling us nothing.  Are people paying attention to the ICTC in the colliseum?

Not too sure of the idea of a creature, but what about the Grail conferring some sort of bonus on the hero when it's equipped, say +10 to all primary skills and double movement, something like that?

I like the idea of a grail creature, or it could also give you a bunch of level 6 spells (depending on the faction)
if it is too powerful, one effect of the grail can still be removed (either the extra growth, or the specific bonus, since the creature would become the specific bonus (but the specific bonus is quite cool))

I also like that last idea, it would be like the ultimate artifact (that I would like back), except that the effect would depend of the faction. for example a sylvan hero and his army will have the maximum luck, a barbarian will be immune against hostile magic, a warlock will gain lots of magic power...

The Grail on a hero having bonuses sounds good, and it would add the question of whether to keep the grail on the hero, having the bonuses, but risking losing it to an enemy and it building the structure in it's town.

Asha is cryring because all her creations suffer from a permanent threat of doom and extinction (because of Urgash)

Why permanent? because primordial gods are eternal, if one of them dissapear, all the cosmic world itself will dissapear as well (think of order vs chaos)
