And I agree with that, I wouldn't use anything that Iuz wouldn't know because it will spoil my fun. And I could do alike, just to hear protesting Players while their PC's are all unaware, fooled by Iuz's nice behavior. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />And I propose Population Growth equal to 5% of population each Year. It would represent all children maturing into adulthood, for example men are leaving home to make on their own. But it just a loose proposal. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />I trust that all people involved will understand and see difference between what I wrote In Character and Out Off Character. Or Iuz will go medieval on them.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" />  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /> Of course Players conspiring with me will have their plots hidden, if they are wishing to keep them hidden. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I will use my template as example, just like Edena did, and Serpenteye will notice several changes that I made.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" />  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" /> Template, people sure that they wouldn't behave, shouldn't peek ... why spoil their own fun ?[sblock] Starting PLs:Regular PL: 500100 Pls, Lesser Undead Armies, including Ghouls, Skeletons and Zombies led by Ghasts. Including 10 Pls of Wight Priests of Iuz. Untiring and needs no sleep or rest. 200 Pls, Humanoid Armies, including Hobgoblins, Kobolds, Gnolls, Orcs and Goblins. Including 20 Pls of Shamans, Priests of Iuz and Gnoll Druids. Keep in mind that these armies are build for speed fast mounts like wolves or Orc Barbarians or Gnoll Rangers.  Light Infantry/Cavalry, Light shocktroops. 200 Pls, Human Armies including mobs of bandits, Suel berserkers, pirates, mercenaries and other human scum serving in Iuz's army. 20 Pls of Priests of Iuz keep an eye on them and divine support. They excel at pillaging and drinking vast quantities of alcohol ... but tend to surviwe longer than their humanoid counterparts. Units to diversely equipped to categorize other than light infantry/scout or light archers/crossbowmen. Elite PL: 4010 elPls, Greater Undead Armies including Vampire Spawn, Shadows, Wraiths and Spectres led by small cabal of Lich/Vampire Priests of Iuz called by him Bonefingers. Strong 1 elPl. 20 elPls, Legion of the Black Death, infamous elite unit of Iuz's army ... all Young fighter-wannabes wish to join this elite force ! Considering mostly of hardened veterans of countless conflicts ... mortals serving there are even more vicious than demons that form majority of this host. Including 2 elPls of War Maidens, special cadre of Iuz's Priestesses riding Black Unicorns that even General Sindol doesn't mock. Not very numerous ... but one of them is worth ten Fuoryndian Knights. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Navy Seal/Devastator type unit. 10 elPls, Beast Armies, includes huge array of monsters, mostly Ogres, Hill Giants, Trolls plus some Hydra or two, Wyvern riders, and some individual beasts like Bullete Scarhide, Basilisk Slumpy and Abbysal Drake Bloatmaw. 1 elPl of Wizards and Sorcerers leading the inhuman beasts and adding fire support, 1 elPl of Veteran Priests of Iuz to provide with clerical support. General smashing meele unit ... if shot at from afar it quickly became useless after arcane barrage would end, but when they taste blood ... even hardened veterans would have hard time surviwing this onslaught. Due to large cadre of apporiately equipped mages they move extremely fast. What is unusual that Giants from this army are well equipped like soldiers from heavy infantry squads, along with big  tower shields to protect more vulnerable and essential magi and clerics. Even trolls wear light Armour and wield clubs ! More tamed monsters have leather barding, shielding their most weak spots from disabling injury. Heavy "tanks", can chew trough best Fuoryndian Knights like hot knife trough butter, or wizard leaders will suffer consequences of failure. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />Epic PL: 7Iggvilw 1 epPL, Baba Yaga’s Hut: 1 epPL. Drelzna 1 epPl. Iuz: 3 epPL, My Own Abyss: 1 ep Pl.  New Artifact: Using numerous Genesis and Miracle scrolls Iuz created his own Demiplane attached to normal world trough Ethereal Plane, of wich it is small part. It is strongly Aligned towards Chaos and Evil, godlymorphic for Iuz and Deites of greter status than him. Evil divine magic is maximized here, while Good divine magic is minimised. Whole Plane is Unhallowed and Desecrated, except Altar of Skulls wich is Hallowed and Consecrated in the name of Iuz. Iuz controls weather here at will, as a free action. As spells Control Weather and Evil Weather, but inmediately. Iuz could also nullify Arcane Magic here at will, and can use his godly senses over all place. All faithful to Iuz gain Fast Healing 1 here. How the place looks ? Imagine that in comparision Dorakaa is a nice vacation spot. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> To tell the truth I haven't devised it yet. Acha, and for now it is very very small plane, containing barely Altar of Skulls and some Rocky Terrain. Altar itself calls to itself all Chaotic Evil souls of the slain ... wich they can follow the call or ignore it. But this is peristent, and untiring call, keep in mind. Altar absorbs them, and could contain indefinite number of souls. Of course it steal all souls of people sacrificed on it, regardless of aligment, but only CE souls can notice it's calling after death ... sort of compulsion that is easily forgotten while not in proggress. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />And nobody can get there otherwise than trough Gate in Iuz's palace. People not knowing the right password will die teleported into the Oerth's CORE. People not worshipping Iuz, but knowing password, will be teleported into special dungeon cells. Guarded against magic with Antimagic Zone and will be displeased with constant Blood Rain that will nullify also everything divine. Walls are made of reinforced andamantite of masterwork quality. Quite masterpieces of work so any one escaping will be a real James Bond. These worshipping him will simply not activate the portal. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I repeat that nobody, except Iuz, know that the thing exists in the first place. He made it all by himself, and is quietly proud of it.IC/PPs : 294 PPs, 1 Turn. Technological Arms Race :1, Magical Arms Race: 0, Divine Arms Race: Hungry Demigod. Research: 70 PPs, for one level of Technology. Ecological to avoid troubles from Druids and Iuz hate Devils. He's half Demon, remeber ?Industrialization: 160 Pps. "Druzil & Pleeancis INC" are trying to open internal trade within Empire and some Black Marketing in the neighbourn countries. Army building or -upgrading: 11 PPs, 1 elPl of War Maidens with Black Unicorns that will go to Radiant to spread faith and serve with divine support to Sikari.Infiltration: 8 PPs to steel my grasp over Heartland ! Purge as usual, with a lot of souls sacrificed to dark apettite of Iuz.Espionage: 10 PPs to infiltrate Black Cult of Tharizdun, easy to find them because they hang out near Temple of Elemental Evil. Counter-infiltration : 12 Pls. Routine search for Spies 1 Pl.Special Projects: 10 PPs in building crude fortifications on the borders, all borders. Mostly wooden walls with spiked poles, moats, barbed wires and numerous watchtowers filled with soldiers ready to rain death on all people slowed down by fortifications. Instead of minefields, 1 epPl of Shadows is lurking here and slaying all living contained within the borders of the "wall". 10 pls of Kobold and Hobgoblin Snipers, armed to the teeth with primitive fragmentation bombs and repeating crossbows. Bolts are barbed, and poisoned with monstrous spider's venom. And all this just to stop disease spreading refugees. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /> 11 PPs to create death dealing Rogue/Cancer Mage Bone Creature afflicted with all cannon diseases, and all from BoVD. Insane beast is ... one inch high, equipped with ordinary magic items that give protection from detection and help in quiet sneaking. And equipped with trap detecting stuff, and of course teleporting stuff too ! It was not created to fight thoug ... but to unnoticed sneak in, spread chosen disease and dissapear without trace. Of course it is equipped with magic that keep control over wich disease is he unleashing, and he unleashes those that Iuz wishes. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />1PP as a payment for [CENSORED] mercenaries.Serpenteye, You wanted me to assign epPl differently. Here it is. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />[/sblock]And of course I would wrote my plans while Players involwed would send me agreements of revealing them, or disagreements. It's hard to won trust these days ... neh ? <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" />  :\ IC:*Iuz sits on his dark throne, and smiles seeing that all what he were puttin in motion is going well. His eyes glimmered in the dark.*</blockquote>
