Does any consideration for 'good' come into play during design? As I could easily submit a Pretender for any of those nations, but for the AI I'd be looking to go the pathless Dom 10 Wyrm/Manticore with great scales route. But I don't think that's thematic for any particular nation. (but if you give an AI SC god any magic paths then it's pointless paying points for the SC chassis, so may as well go rainbow).

Let us know.

Edit - You could maybe get players to play the first turn as well, as that allows them to script awake SC's with magic paths to "attack", which opens up more chassis's without the AI nerfing their potential via spellcasting (eg.Gorgon for Pan). From playing against AI's in MP games, it doesn't seem the AI will change the scripts of scripted commanders. But then I haven't played against an AI in MP for a long time, so might be mis-remembering this. (or just not as attentive to minor details back then as I am these days, and might have just thought they don't change scripts based on bad observation)

No I specifically don't care about good or bad (within reason, no dom1 pretenders). I want thematic. Don't think about how the AI will use the build at all, just make a thematic one that isn't stupid.

Players should submit AI on first turn.

If I were trying to have good/challenging AIs it would be different exercise, but that definitely isn't the point here, THEMATIC is.

Here fleeing from the tyranny of Shrapnel dictators
Thanks for the clarification Sombre. I'd best sit on my hands with this then since my thematic sensors are pretty limited, and there's no way the player in me would allow me to send in any Pretender that put thematic preferences above competitive AI concerns.
Never try to help pig-headed douche bags. It's never worth the trouble, as some people are just too stupid and arrogant to listen

Sombre is an egocentric asshole - Jarkko

Calahan can spread shit with the best of them.

Pangaea's pretender is sent. Hope it was thematic enough:)

A legend once told of an ancient presence, sleeping deep in the shadows of the forest.It is said that its will is carried through the winds of the forest. But recently more and more rumors have been heard about the forest being alive, people disappearing, and even whole villages have gone missing only to be found overgrown and emptied of their inhabitants. There is strange scent carried by the wind, even the mighty Minotaurs can't help but tremble in fear that what was once dormant might have Awoken. And it shall be hungry and it shall devour the enemies of the Forest, and it shall lead the neverending hordes Pangaea to drawn the world in war and blood and to turn it in a place of Turmoil and Desapair.

Only few have heard about this presence, and even fewer mostly the sages ever tried to put a name on it. Foulwind some name it, demon from the shadows others say. Maybe someday a true name can be put on this horror, but for now it shall be called Bitterwind, the Sadow, the Lover of War, God of Turmoil!

Homies!

I still need thematic pretenders for the following:

LA Gath
LA Utgard

Anyone else willing to help out? Won't take much of your time.

I'll do those, then. Sounds fun.

EDIT:

sombre
 

I think you can only send one pretender, or you'll set off the cheat detection.


Only Utgard then.

The signs hae been ominous of late. The Völvas have long dreamt of the world-tree sickening, and of the great serpent at its roots slithering in its twisting circles. Now they dream no more. The serpent has slithered out of the well of Urd, and the end times are at hand. Now is not the time for raising children: any now born will see the world destroyed. Favoured by fate, the nation of Utgard girds itself for war, to die with glory and perhaps to be the one to sing the world's last song.
