M&M 8, what's your favourite race?

What?

Illuminaty - angelical race with abilities to mind skills. But they almost do not have skills in Light magics. Their main weapons are illusions and controlling battle. They are Grand of Air Mind magic. So they can hide themselves beyond the veil of invisibility, charm creatures.

I like it, especially for the solo-game.

I guess Variol meaned 'naked'

I'd like to look at how you would make a nice-looking half-naked female Lizard

And what about Wood Elf, High Elf, Moon Elf, Sea Elf, Night Elf, Blood Elf, etc.?

Don't you think one race of Elves will be enough?
Besides it should be Might and Magic not D&D game.

There are no so many races that could be changed.
P.S. I means Moon elf instead of dark! We've got sun amd we've got moon

Here is a snake texture for the humans...all I need - to do a lizard head...

We also have stars - so Star Elves.

But it be better if yousimply add just one Elf and one other race (Gnomes, Dwarfs, Minotaurs, Trolls, Goblins or another monster race) then two races of Elves.
You can always create different pictures for various Elves.

Sounds like Sylmarillion to me

And how many races of elves were there?

vladimir-maestro · Unread postby **vladimir-maestro** » 17 Jan 2009, 09:35

I do not know how many eaces are created at this time.
The one race I know were - High Elves...then appears a dark elves...in Warcraft 3 I saw Night elves...and it started...

Now you can suggest any word and add -Elf to it to create a new race

Gold, potato, sky, weather, smoke, fire, space, gloomy, stormy - elves...anyone can do this but where is a romantic part o the creation? Where is a story that hides behind this race

I have mine own story behind a races that I creates like High elves, Forest elves, Flower elves, Drows - I have a story and full description of the race...

It is the same as we will call people of their inhabitant places...
Block people, mall people, tube people, intenet people...

Can I take a wild guess that the Moon Elf/Sun Elf stories will involve the temples of the moon and sun?

vladimir-maestro · Unread postby **vladimir-maestro** » 17 Jan 2009, 14:01

Actually yes...but it will take a place not soooon...after MM6.

I will like to create something like:
Necrolithide
Illuminaty
Dark Elf
Sun Elf
Hajit
Lizard
Vampire

Cool idea, but I habe some other suggestions too.

Pirat:
GM, dagger, M sword, GM, E fire,water, earth and air magic, GM disarm trap,
GM merchant, M/GM leather, E armsmaster and E bodybuilding, but no bow, no axe, no spear.

Cleric of Baa:
Like a normal cleric, but with higher attack (no shield, no chain), but with E sowrd and M dagger and with dark magic instad of light magic.

And cool would be too if you could add a temple/Varn guard like in MM6 ^^

Skeleton archer:
M regeneration, GM bow, E fire, water, air, earth and dark magic, M indentify, M meditation, M sword and dagger...

And could you make for the crossbow and own skill?
With that skills:
N: Add to attack bonus.
E: Add to Damage
M: Reduces recovery time
GM: Penetration/ chance to halve the Armor class of the target

I speack about race - not a class.

Baa folower, pirate - sounds like a class. Agree that any person can follow the Baa or be a pirate.

I was thinking about replacing Axe skill with some kind of heavy missile weapon...Axe skill in MM8 was almost useless.

I would also like to suggest that Grand Master Sword would allow the use of 1 two-handed sword in each hand! I never use the 2-handed ones now, 'cos 2 swords are just better.

Maybe have a strength requirement of 50+ or 75+ maybe.

Why? Because the two-handed sword items themselves are just lousy, or because the sword skill gives 10 AC per sword? Just curious, I don't use a Knight often..

..because I find that right now, I have equip a 2 handed sword. I sell 'em or just leave 'em. This way, I'll actually make use of 'em. Let's face it, if you can use a sword and a spear...

WOW, my Lich is currently at level 81. My dark skill is up to 31 and with the Lich Helm (or anything that's "of Dark" magic) I have a bonus of +15.

I'm doing 600-700+ points of damage with the Dragon Breath spell. That's just sick!

I have no skill in Fire or Earth at all. I only have GM Air and Water magic.

Can any other race attain anywhere near that much damage?

GrayFace · Unread postby **GrayFace** » 24 Jan 2009, 06:50

Well, Sharpmetal will do twice more.

To a single creature though.

As for the swords, I found using 1 sword better in my current MM6 game. This way they recover much faster.

Variol · Unread postby **Variol** » 24 Jan 2009, 10:38

I just tried and and it only does about 150-180 points of damage to 1 creature. I think it was much more powerful in MM6.

As far as MM8 goes, the vampire would have to be my favorite race, I think. The levitation is a nice little feature.
