That help, Merc?

Yeeep

Dune? How about this? http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,101855.msg1026607.html#msg1026607

Eb, long distance communication would be covered by the sending orbs. As for long range spellcasting, how long do you have in mind?

I basically want it tied to our army. Maybe they do some sort of attunement to a reasonating crystal or something in Aurora so that when they're out in the field someone back at base can see them and their surroundings, talk to them and give orders, and cast spells on them. Possibly just limit this to officers rather than roll it out for everyone, but the idea is for someone in the castle to be able to have an RTS style overview of the battle and give orders based on having information of the whole field, and cast spells to help out groups that are in trouble. For example the commander back at base sees a group just got hit with a fireball and casts mass cure light wounds or something on them, or sees a sergeant just got grappled by a hamatula and casts grease on him. Buffs and heals, really.

-Ranged cannons on the battlements
-Hotspring/bathhouse
-Viki & Jeane
-Some sort of in-house entertainment(because housing thousands of soldiers is not easy...succubus go-go dancers?)
-Detectives!

Ranged cannons
  -I was thinking rods of fireball or searing light, mounted on a kind of tripod that anyone with the ability to use them, or having UMD, could use. Tripod could make for improved long-distance aiming. Just a thought. If you wanna go further, a trigger mechanism that could do the UMD check for you, so anyone can use them.

Hotsprings/Bath-house
  -Iconic in every Suikoden game, A bath house or some sort of hot spring could provide some relaxation after a day of training and fighting, or it could be used to boost morale. I think you already touched on this, but I thought I would expand my position anyway.

Viki & Jeanne
  -Both are in every single game, but they're not necessary. Our castle is fully mobile, so no Viki's not a big deal. As for Jeanne, she's unnecessary too, due to there not being any runes in the game. Ah well.

In-house entertainment
  Yeahhh...Not sure what to do about this. How essential this is all depends on what effects morale have on our troops.

How much is an upgrade to make the Aurora Annalise-compatible? Be it via fixing the farms or the cafeteria or whatever, as long as she can feed easily.

[Ebiris]

We need a memorial of some sort. Elrisa was the first but others will surely die on our Crusade, perhaps many. A crypt or hall of heroes or a wall of remembrance or something. Thoughts or preferences, people?

[Corwin]

A memorial wall, before which burns an eternal flame. Simple but does exactly what it should. If you touch the name on the wall, an illusion of that person appears before you.

[Ebiris]

Perfect.

[Merc]

Memorial/illusion wall is cool. Ithea approves of idea too.

Added fireball cannons to the main topic.

Annalise can subsist on animal blood; having the farm fixed up will provide a supply of blood, assuming livestock are purchased

Added.

Has it been posted in the Aurora topic? If not do so and elaborate. If it has just quote that post in a new post.

Okay.

Can the MM trap be improved further? Can it have other stuff added, such as orbs or (Seira's) Unicorn Arrow? Can it have a targetted (greater) dispel added to negate lamers with shield or, say, a wall of dispel magic?

Pretty much like what I now repeated in the 'nagging' thread. I would very much like to have the functionality of Greater Dispel/Disjunction, then MM, then Unicorn Arrows on anyone coming through the gate unauthorized, instead of just the MMs.

Now that I think about it, I would also appreciate a slight clarification. Is the entire courtyard open to dimensional travel, or only a small area of it near the gates? If it is the former, can we change it to become the latter?

No, though the gate can have more than one trap. Which exactly do you want, dispel or disjunction? Choose one. Edit: Bear in mind that the house-ruled magic disjunction isn't all that much different from dispel magic now. Read that for details.

Yes and you could pay for an upgrade like that, certainly. I'll add that when I add the others.

[Corwin]

Let's say....

Greater Dispel CL20 (if there's a cheaper targetted dispel spell that goes up to CL20 I'd prefer that one)
Greater Dispel CL30 (exceeding itself like the MM trap does)
(Seira's) Unicorn Arrow CL17
(Seira's) Unicorn Arrow CL32 (if it can exceed itself, like the MM trap does)

Can those have prices?

As for the upgrade to ward most of the courtyard, I would like you to price it under the following restriction: the only place open dimensionally is a small inner courtyard between the outer gate (existing, trapped) and an inner gate (and wall) we'll add. Said inner courtyard will be the size of a Hallow spell, and we'll basically ward it with that (I have that SLA!).

Added the disjunction trap. You'd need an epic spellcaster to go past CL 20. You were able to with the magic missile trap since it was already made and designed for that capacity. Having someone who has access to epic magic will overcome this limitation. Likewise added the unicorn trap. Added the ward.
