I think this is a good time to get people to submit more quests (not necessarily in XML format) and hopefully when they fix the inactive quest bug we will have a whole lot more unique quests too!

While not quests, I really like the way fantastic creatures can be added. Being able to summon magical beasts is only half of the experiance, imo, because every wizard can potentially do this.

I came across one quest/item that I thought fit PERFECTLY. 'The Knights of Asok' quest thingy. When you conquered the location, you had the option of building those units at that city. WOW! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do more of this with other fantastic creatures.
A griffin's nest....
A golem factory....
A blood pact with demons.....
A unicorn forest...
etc

These are the things that make this game into, as I've coined it elsewhere, a 6X adventure. Choices can always be made when completing/conquering these locations too. Do you use the unicorns in battle, or kill them and use there horns as weapons? Do you accept the bloodpact with the demons or do you attack them for the xp? etc etc.

I would like quests that bring about or unlock/release TiTans, I feel that this is a way to bring some real chaos/fun/danger/excitement to the mid-late game. 

We could have anything from demons that go from faction to faction trying to recruit someone capable of helping them clear an ancient portal/ritual spot of theirs that's being held captive by some sorry do-gooders/guardian's', if you accept then you recieve a +1? to diplomacy with Titans faction & a -1 to all others.  If you accept or decline then the demons go to the next faction until the've recruited as many factions into there quest as they can, the faction that completes the quest recieves a special item of some sort and an additional +2? to diplomacy with Titans faction

to all factions would receive a message from a neighboring continents emissary sent by their TiTan ruler offering you the chance to show your fealty by sending him 50% of your current coin holdings or be marked as an enemy when he comes with his army (will spawn along one of the 4 sides the map, factions that show fealty have a +2? to diplomacy with Titans faction), the more factions that send him money the stronger his army is accourding to the amount sent

I made the beta testers an epic Labyrinth quest, but no one has shown any interest. I will be keeping the other ones under lock and key until release.

I think the interest for any mods is just low because we're still in early development of the game. Hopefully it will change later on.

People are waiting for Beta4 and playing other games for a while methinks. I am testing Warlock: Master of the Arcane, but the fun is diminishing due to lacking AI. 

Could we mod in full Umber faction if Stardock fails...?

What's missing from it? And yes.

Umber is missing some faction specialities. Like being able to use wolf/horse resource for food. Some special weapons and such. I wrote a long post about Umber history a while back. hoping to inspire Stardock, but to no avail.

 

Her is the forgotten post

All that is possible except the plague spell. I would also recommend the plaguestalker just being unlocked from a tech instead of requiring a building so the Ai can build it properly. I don't see the point of 3x damage for throwing knives in current version, would be interesting if it scaled with caster troopcount.

Sorry for the threadjacking

@Heavenfall. I havent excactly spent hours planning how Umber should be special, it was from the top of my head. I just wish that someone (a modder if not Stardock) will make Umber a fun faction to play as I love them. I am 25% Umber on my mothers side Thanks for reading it.

A mysterious being grants you a powerful item at the beginning of the game, on the condition that, at some unspecified point in the future you perform whatever it asks you to. This could be an unspeakable atrocity, a war against an ally, the sacrifice of your most powerful champion etc: the condition would be randomised and unknown to the player until the time came. Compliance would either be forced by the game, or noncompliance would cause the being to bestow a powerful curse on your empire.

A hideous monster volunteers to join your faction on the condition you fulfill it's insatiable appetite. Lose 1 person per turn at your capital until the beast is destroyed.

Quoting Sethai,

This is an interesting upkeep for some of the most gruesome (high end death magic summons) demons and creatures. Sounds like fun!
Somehow I am always being attracted to being WAY evil in games, especially when looking at FE

Sincerely
