... so that their "hidden-ness" (the state of the transformation visuals not appearing) remains in future game sessions (including those played by the AI).

For example, I play as a dragon/giant/eldritch/vampire ruler and during my last game session with that ruler that resulted in its (re-)ascension I transformed my main race into wights and deactivated the visuals of that transformation. As the game currently works, in the next game session featuring this ruler (played by myself or the AI) the hidding of the wight transformation should not be recalled by the game (like it does for champion and wizard rulers – to whom racial transformations personally apply) and therefore when the wight transformation gets applied in that new session the visuals of that transformation stand visible. And so what I'm proposing here is to get the game to remember the hidden-ness of the wight transformation for ALL ruler types, so that in future game sessions with the ruler the visuals of the wight transformation are deactivated by default. Ensuring that the vision the player had for the race persists even when that race is played by the AI.

Or can it also be interpreted as something like "spirit transmigrationism" like in the short story 'The Egg' by Andy Weir?

Were she to ever be added to the game ( 🤞), what unit type should Kitsune be?

On the one hand, she fits the Fey type as a trickstery spirit. On the other hand, she is often (but not always) described/depicted as ill-intended and fiendish in folklore and media.

Also, what tier should she be, if any (i.e., ruler type)? And what unit class?

Personally, I think Kitsune should be both Fey (+4 Spirit protection, -4 Blight, Fey Guile) and Accursed Fiend (+2 Fire protection, +2 Frost, -4 Lightning, Accursed Body, Burning immunity), making her resist Radiant damages (Spirit + Fire) whilst she would be vulnerable to Death damage (Blight + Frost). Which is not only thematic (she is a master of illusion that burns her victims with haunting desire and is unimpressed by the passion of fanaticism, being passion herself – which also means that death, the end of desire, is her undoing), but would make her fill a currently empty niche as far as resistances are concerned.

Also, I think that she should inflict Fire + Frost damage, as too few units in the game currently do (only Accursed Fiends, I believe).

As far as abilities go, Kitsune would have the Temptress' Kiss of Seduction and a passive that applies Clinging Mist on herself whenever she attacks or uses an ability, making her quite safe from attacks when getting into melee (including eventual attacks from her enthralled, berserked victim). And she would have Slip Away.

Thus, she would be a T4 Magic Fighter unit that specializes in disruption and survival, relying on the unit she seduced to deal much of the damage whilst herself surviving (alongside the Thrilling Domination bond with her victim) by making herself hard to hit by stacking Clinging Mist on herself (whilst not spreading mist clouds on the battlefield, which tends to kill synergy with some non-Fey builds) – which through Fey Guile also buffs her. The obvious counter here being Immune to Psychology and high status effect resistance.

And since she would be a high tier Magic Fighter, there would be the possibility to stack spell-granting enchantment on her, effectively turning her into a mini-hero (which with each rank gained above Legendary making her even more survivable – and thus even more effective).

Preferably on Human or Elf.

Thanks!

'Love the new update and what has been shown about the DLC so far.

I only have one complain: The fairies having a bigger (human) size feels wrong. Now, I get that this has been done so that the sprites don't evolve into something that looks smaller, but that just make fairies not look like fairies anymore. Like, isn't a defining feature of fairies that they are small in size?

Unfortunately I so far couldn't come up with a suggestion of how to solve this (the obvious solution of making sprites smaller instead apparently doesn't work for technical reasons). But I was thinking that "we" (at least those that are also bothered by that change) could brainstorm to arrive at a solution for this.

Hi,

Does the game run well on Steamdeck 64GB? Any inconvenient you noticed?

I'm mostly worried about the game getting laggy (particularly on large maps with both Underground and Umbral Abyss active) and the graphics not looking too good.

Thanks and have a nice day/evening!
