Ideas for ancillaries/traits

[Mithrandir]

Swagger has offered to make custom ancillaries for TATW. So, post your suggestions here!

Rules: It has to be a person or item with support in the literature, you have to write specifics, such as who it will belong to (could be more than one person), triggers, wether it's transferable or not and which bonuses it will give.

Now, put your thinking caps on and give us some ideas!



Important imformation concerning trait/ancillary effects!

In TATW, Piety will be replaced with Obedience. Since most of the vanilla traits and ancillaries that boost piety relate to religion, we will need to make our own. Evil factions use Obedience to keep Sauron happy, keep that in mind.

Additionally, Management isn't a valid effect, you'll have to be more specific. Management will have to be replaced with modifiers for income from different sources, different types of public order, etc.

[Swagger]

i've already made a list of ancillaries, based on ''artifacts and relics'' from LOTR


i've created this template, so you can use it to give your ideas, remember, that ideas, without using the template will not be include (not by me), im not an LOTR expert, so the more info, the best

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Name: Name of the Ancillary
Description: make a little description, to be shown in the game
Factions: to wich factions AND/OR cultures
Effect/Bonus: gives what bonuses (authority, morale, hitpoints, etc..)
Trigger: how does a general/agent gets this?
Comments: is this ancillary trasmissible from father to son?, or any other idea?
Images (if possible): if you can find a image, to be in the game as ancillary image would be very helpful

note: copy paste it, and remove the red part, and add your own, based on the info i wrote

-------

i've also added some of kingdoms docudemons, take a look at them to help you in the Trigger part



Note:

The ancillaries, are things that a general has, can be a magical sword, or a dusty clock..

not only artifacts and relics will be included, give ideas, that are not only relics and artifacts

[Krechet(SiCh)]

Oh. Probably I need to post Team results about ancillaries to make things cleared

[Varjon]

Name: Noldor
Description: Noldor, elves who are highly skilled in crafts and great in knowledge
Factions: High Elves
Effect/Bonus: Command, building bonus, mining bonus
Trigger: Passes from father to son and appears randomly to generals when they come to age or are being adopted
Comments: This is race ancillary for elves and should be most rare, 1/5 generals of High Elves should have this ancillary

[Swagger]

good, but can you be more specific in the bonus?


like

+1 command, +2 authority etc etc..

[EddieTheTrooper]

i didn't know that "noldor" is an ancillary

[Varjon]

I'm not very good with that stuff because after all I don't play TW very much at the moment.

i didn't know that "noldor" is an ancillary

They were superior to other elves in Middle-earth so I think that ancillaries would be best solution to that.

[Landkreuzer ratte]

Name: Captain of Gondor
Description: The rank of captain is given to a seasoned veteran of Gondor
Factions: Gondor
Effect/Bonus: command bonus when commanding infantry 1+/2+
Trigger: coming of age

I'm not exactly sure whether Quark has started these, but as far as I know he hasn't made any of them.
Btw, sorry that I can't use your template for all of them, but as a good ancillary maker I'm sure you can add your own thoughts.

[Swagger]

i told that should always be an ancillary, and you said ''they don't walk aside with the general'', and now you're giving me this




i'll do my best

[Landkreuzer ratte]

Well if you need images for kk suggestions i can try to find some.

[Swagger]

absolutly, images are very important to make a realistic ancillary

[Krechet(SiCh)]

Titeles is basic. General is what where is three basic types LORD, DUKE and SHIEFTAN what haVE SOME SIMPLE BONUSES. fOR UNIQUE TITLES THEY WOULD BE MODIFAIED

[Landkreuzer ratte]

absolutly, images are very important to make a realistic ancillary

Should i post images here.
And read my suggestion too.

[Landkreuzer ratte]

Well ill start now

If you like them ill find them all

[Krechet(SiCh)]

Stop-stop. It's titul, not person

[Swagger]

i've been playing with the triggers, and i reached the conclusion that relics and artifacts (like rings, and that kind of stuff), would be better, if a general that was killed owned that ancillary

for example:

lets imagine, you're fighting a battle, and the enemy general was FRODO, and he got the ring (the ancillary)

you fight the battle etc, and you managed to kill frodo


the ring he had (ancillary) will automaticly pass from him to you...and so on..


what do you think?

[Landkreuzer ratte]

it's good but how about my suggestions swagger!

[Varjon]

That's what we've been thinking.

[Swagger]

the captain of gondor suggestion?


i believe that would fit better in traits, my partener Quark will deal with them
