Trying to make use of the energy I'm feeling this month, here are 3 more gods and 2 cultures. Notably, the gods introduce an "item transformation" mechanic and an "item upgrade" mechanic. Thank you for playing, pilgrims...no doubt expect a frantic balance update to come
Gods
- Ninhurs now applies 5 entangle
- reworked Dumuzi - no longer gains armor from 2nd prayer, no longer loses prayer charges when gilded dead die, now transforms all heavy armor you find into a "Gilded" version, keeping the trait but adding 100 armor and 1 inflexibility
- added Oros, the goddess of the "devouring night," she transforms all items you pick up into either a "vestment" if armor (encumbrance and inflex set to 0, +10% astral resist) or a "Shimmering Orb" if a weapon (damage changed to astral, range set to 3, gains "area attack") -- Oros's prayers are appropriately based on summoning Tentacles that inherit your Hit - notably for pugilists, the 2nd prayer gains charges when you attack with a bare fist
- added Pallas, the goddess of shields, sort of similar to Tengri but with blocking and pierce damage, wants you to have a weapon in your off hand, 3rd prayer permanently upgrades the base Hit of your off hand weapon, and can be used many times
- added Fawdaa, god of Chaos and teleportation, deals random damage in a path to an enemy whenever any unit teleports, teleports on game turn, prayers teleport self and all allies, teleport enemies, and teleport a random enemy adjacent to you
Cultures
- added Siku, child of a magic glacier, has inherent +3 inflex and inflex does not penalize willpower damage bonus, deals Ice damage in a path to a random enemy on being attacked (scaled with WIL and inflex)
- added Cyclops, all strength, deals blunt damage to all adjacent units on attack = 50% of current life
Other
- Channel Death range now scaled with level, damage increased, cost increased
- Gore Cleave now grants a high per level Hit bonus -- in general the are many powers I'd like to add more scaling bonuses to
- added commas to some high damage text in the message log and score screen
