raising of the golden dead working pretty well now, these are all existing units that previously died, so the history of the game kind of gets recited through reanimation, the tall ones are a bunch of giant obars and the big slouching ones are a defeated group of icedrakes

day 2 of implementing this dead-raising system, now for the more familiar Achra god Dumuzi, mentioning the previous unit type in the description and then going to implement some sprite variants based on vague unit classes like human, serpent, monster

This clearly shouldn't be my first response, but I just find myself so remarkably annoyed not by the fact that my field is being co-opted by the worst people, but that it is being co-opted by the dumbest people, just the thickest, most arrogantly superficial 'trousered apes' imaginable.

ok got the basic dead-raising where it finds a named unit from all the dead units and restores it as the new type, can make this for other sects now like dumuzi's golden dead etc

Lughra, javelin-hurling adventurers who follow the giant Gawr'ain. Makes it more fun and propulsive to script new mechanics if it's accompanied by added content, even if unfinal

my opinion on gameplay loop fundamentalism is it's kind of like thinking about writing only in terms of tropes / beats like hero's journey etc. Useful for an industry that wants to mass produce scripts

strange torches that scuttled through the vinelands
like liquid rainbows
like oildrops quickening

Imagine, you are buzzing after the last sip of your third Kim Crawford sauvignon blanc. You just met a lovely retiree whose daughter-in-law is going to phone you about the condo in Hallandale. You walk up to my tent, I smile at you. I have Golgotha loaded up in Classic.
