Blakoth Reborn

[Thrune]

A suggestion for a side-quest.
If Blakoth is killed while the Dark Elf high cleric lives, the Dark Elf player adds an 'Undead Blakoth', which is weaker then Blakoth but still a powerful hero, to his forces.

 

[donut3.5]

Make a new hero based on Blakoth named Undead Blakoth, and do this trigger:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit is killed
• Conditions
  • Unit - Triggering Unit is equal to Blakoth
• Actions
  • Unit - Create 1 Undead Blakoth at position of Triggering unit facing (Facing Angle of Triggering Unit)
  • Unit - Remove Triggering Unit from the game.

Actually, while your idea might work, what I was thinking of...

Events

A unit is killed.

Conditions

Triggering unit equal to Blakoth.
Shrine to Khaine is alive.

Actions

Display text message: 'Though the great and mighty Blakoth has been destroyed, the high clerics of the Dark Elven peoples have drawn the last of his essence back from the void he was sent to, restoring him to full power.'
Create 1 Undead Blakoth at Dark Elf spawn.
Remove triggering unit.

That could honestly work, but donuts trigger lags, learn 2 eliminate the leaks?

Also this doesn't really fit in well with the lore...

 

[donut3.5]

Didn't feel like unleaking that one.

Lore? What lore?

Okay... Right now I'm just throwing out ideas. I don't have a very good idea of the Lore; I haven't read the source material, just played the game. I thought that this might be an interesting twist, and that it wouldn't come up very often.

 

[panther-anthro]

Well the thing is, blakoth is insanely hard to get as it is, and on top of all that he's extremely powerful? Having him come back as undead for a player who can ally? That's just asking for trouble.

 

[Thrune]

Actually, I'd been thinking of a hero more along the lines of a reasonably powerful standard one; Zombie Lord or Otter King, rather then full Blakoth power.

 

[panther-anthro]

Oh, I thought you ment full on level 20 super powered up blakoth, with undead bonus, that'd be kind of insanely rigged.

 

[Thrune]

Gah! No! The Dark Elves are already awesome enough! No, I was thinking it would start at level 1 as just... a decent-to-strong hero. Not Blakoth level.

 

[panther-anthro]

Yea, but the only way I could explain this lore wise, is that it's just a skeletal construct made from blakoth's demonic remains.

 

[Thrune]

A new Idea

...

Going on that idea and taking it in a different step, a possibility is that when Blakoth dies, you get his skeletal remains/skull as an item that drops where he died.
Presumably, as a demon-god, even his corpse would have power... Maybe even as much power as a Ring of the City-States, or more...

 

[panther-anthro]

should have to be a level 20 blakoth dieing.
