I have a feedback thread, you can post it there. That also easier to keep around than a Steam chatlog. Or find me on discord I guess, that also works.

... Ah, right. You can't actually post anything substantially sized here.
Bummer.

Hmm. You OK if I post it to you directly on via PM's? Since bloating this place with rapid-fire posts seems quite not what Steam would like.

Honestly, most ideas I come up with them are more of expansions and what-ifs to the stuff Melitta's bees are already doing.

For instance, another idea for a Pretender was a ghost/ethereal undead Pretender Melitta which, depending on my current mood, was either a former Potnia, former melidote or a former Praxidike, either cursed by the Pantokrator more directly than the rest of her kin or accidentally getting shifted because she delved too deep past the gates of the Underworld.

Like so, please tolerate my amateur lore bloop:

Could have bunch of bombos defenders?

A huge sentient flower bed isn't a bad idea, I might be able to make that work, spawning astral pearls each turn. Gotta draw a bunch of flowers though...

Mythological basis? Hmm, I could I suppose try to find something on that regard.

Seriously though my initial idea was to make/suggest an Immobile giant flower/flower arrangement that has come alive after acting as the primary garden/harvesting spot for the ruling queens of the Melitta.

So less of their own specific myth but more leaning on the lore/myths of the Melitta and their astron collecting, similar to the many basic Immobiles that often are just stuff people worshiped until it actually started to react to the prayers.

S/N path access, usual Immobile things, weakness to fire. Maybe with some reasonable level of gold creation or free-spawn bees as their more unique bonus to differentiate them from the other immobiles.
- Could perhaps start-of-battle cast Swarm without cost as it releases the normal insects living on its soil, if it has no freespawn or doesn't have guards like the queens have.

Sure, if you got a mythological basis for one feel free to drop any suggestions.

Out of interest, are you open to ideas for custom/nation-specific gods?

Yeah, it feels like it would feel thematic that fields *surround* forts rather than are on forts. Maybe they could be slightly made likelier to spawn outside your forts to compensate for not being totally fort-claimed?

Also I checked using the Dom inspector and it does seem that the inspector at least agrees that meadows shouldn't spawn where there are already meadows so, I don't think the spawning event is faulty.
Very confusing.

They don't but that's not a bad idea.

... Do medows despawn if a Fort is built on top of them? I know most sites don't care, but it feels somewhat powerful if one can put a fort on top of a meadow and then gain the hive bonus on top?

That should not be possible, it feels like req_site 0 isn't working properly at this point.

Love the free site spawns. ...

Are multiple Meadows suppose to be able to appear on the same province, though? Not same turn spawn or anything, just seems oddly powerful as a production province if there is if multiple provinces become stacked Meadows.

Noting here BTW that I absolutely adore this nation. :)

Glad you like it. Greek myths surrounding bees have been the main inspiration so that means Demeter, her daughter and the story of bees being born from corpses. Hence a heavy focus on the underworld and the seasons.

Not sure the queens are worth the investment of a bless. But if you can make it work, cool.

I just started a game to try them out but they seem interesting already. Already got a queen that spawns fire-resistant troops and I'm moving her to a second fort so she can start spawning them until she dies of old age. A longevity blessing seems to be the most recommendable bless for now to maximize queen lifespan.

Also, I love how they're related to the duality between spring and winter.

this has been the most interesting modded nation i have found, i love the gameplay it's quite immersive and the amount of unique spells and events give it some good replay ability. would recommend in a heartbeat

Awesome Mod!
