Maybe also let make two rituals for either the ranged or melee Elder Shrooms.

I suggest giving the Elder units more armor, or chill with the poison a little and buff general units physical attacks. Swap some poison spitters for some spear throwers or archers for more physical damage, because they really REALLY need them. The only units I really hit decently are the Giant Ironfibres, they are solid and what a mid-tier trooper should be, but when that mid-tier unit feels tankier than the Elder Shrooms, that means something is desperately wrong with what should be the Elder uber units. Especially the Titan Shroom, he died so fast, he should have a big armor buff.

Hope you take in consideration what I say because i'd love to play them again after some changes.

So just had a VERY long game playing as these little guys. And they are super fun to play!...up until late game....I was fighting High Cultist and Pale Ones, and let me tell you, factions with poison resistance ruin these guys. I had an army of around 700 guys with a dozen Eldar Fungus and the Titan Shroom and got wiped out...by around 100 Pale ones...This happened because a Pale One with high health and poison immunity was in a chokepoint and his Onxy Oracle behind him just annihilated everything because the Shrooms couldn't do enough physical damage. When I sent my second army in, the Onxy Oracle had 500+ kills...

They are great early and mid game and suck late game. I really love the concept, art and playstyle behind them but they desperately need some late game help.

I didnt see anything about the "wet" part but that might just be my lack of attention. I had a geomancer and the black cap doing the digging lol.

That's not a problem specific to myconids, digging through rock walls runs that risk. I gave the Seers farsight to allow you to dig safely and after that illwinter added 'wet' rock walls so you can see which walls will flood your cave if dug into.

I don't think they should be amphibious.

Broke a rock wall, deep sea tile floods my entire start region, all my units drowned the next turn. Are they intended to not be amphibious or are there specific units that are?

Never play druid against these guys, terrible time if they hit late game, had my late game summons and just couldn't compete lol... maybe gonna stop AI from playing them myself.

Cool mod, thank you!
By the way, the music for this class was chosen very suitable! And pretty unique :) Слава, мой брат

Cheers, it spreads control over nearby forests similar to the druid ritual that is cast on ancient forests.

I loved this mod!
The myconids are very very powerfull and their ancient sumons are very strong
I didnt get what the "heart" ritual do. It just somons an powerful stationary defence?

myconids unable to sail?

This is easily one of my favorite modded classes for this game for all time! Great work here!

I just updated the costs, big reductions across the board

That would be epic

I've been thinking about reducing some summoning costs

Awesome class but horribly under-powered in my case

It's meant for vanillia, I don't like the overhaul mod myself. It's very expensive to build resource generating tiles and the pay off takes... something like 33 turns, plus they can only be placed like 7 tiles apart so you can't just make a giant farm of them cheaply in a small area you must expand to create fungal forests. And it's more about allowing the certain rituals in them than producing hundreds of fungi resources.

Would you say this is meant to be balanced for vanilla, or an overhaul mod? The ability to build resources on flat ground is very Total Overhaul

another person who likes playing Myconid's in dnd? now i gotta check out the mod. good luck with your campaign

Haha thanks, I also have a Myconid Character in a DnD Campaign, He's a Cleric with the Trickery Domain trying to gain sovereignty of the fictional City of Mycanos un Amonket in the MTG setting by gaining favour from the gods in Amonket. Currently lost in the Hall of mirrors.

I'm currently playing a D&D campaign with some friends and I'm playing a Myconid circle of spores druid. The campaign is very open ended and involves us slowly rebuilding a completely empty town (once held by a small group of orcs) from the ruins up. my Myconid is slowly creating more Myconids and after seeing your Myconid sprites I think I'll start using these as tokens for my Myconids they are very well made and my other friends also like them as well. I don't know if you will really care considering this has almost nothing to do with feedback on the mod itself but I just wanted to let you know that the sprites are very cool. : )

You could also download the NationGen tool for Dominions 5. It has a SpriteGen tool in it where you can make tons of naked humanoid sprites which you can outfit with armor and weapons using the tool and export them. You can also just look into the image files of the tools if you were looking for shields for example it have probably 100 different styles of shields in their own image files you can use.

Jump onto the COE5 modding discord if you want more help, I also link you to posts on it where I've helped other people with sprites and gone through how I make them in GIMP.

I did reference existing sprites to make them, like the standard spearman sprite.

I cut some bits off the existing mushroom sprites, really just the top to get the cap and used their colour palette to make the rest. It was more or less from scratch copying the posture of standard sprites.

If you don't have the standard sprites from the game you should get them, they are fantastic bases/references to go off. You could also get the sprites from Dominions 5 which are in the same style. https://playgame.tips/conquest-of-elysium-5-coe5-modding-compendium

Hey Juz,

I'm making a modded class of my own and I was wondering how you did the sprites for yours. A lot of the human/humanoid ones seem to follow the same shape as vanilla humans. Is there a template of some kind? Or did you just make the sprites from scratch?

Love your work btw. The Myconid Lord class is my favorite!

Thanks! sounds like a awesome idea :) love your work my dude

that said, it might be slightly harder as they don't have a 'Captain' equivalent and don't have any commander summons. I might add one of those.

That chance of recruiting commanders are comparable to the standard races. Getting Temples increases the chances of recruiting Circle Leaders and Libraries increase the chance of recruiting the Geomancers. There is also just the element of chance in there, you can get unlucky.

Recruiting a character took around 25 turns to appear for me :/ any ways to help increase the odds?

You wait for them to appear for recruitment in citadels, like how most classes work.

how do i recruit more commanders ?

Glad you like it, I want to add a bit more lategame/superlategame as they are a bit lacking.

awesome, thanks

I love this just by the looks of it - gotta try it next time!
Can't wait for the morel heads

They just spread control over nearby forests like Forest Hearts.

What do the hearts do?

Nice work!

Haha oh my god I forgot a class description. I'll do one in a bit
