[nintendo64isking]

maybe keese could be added for ikana? i think they are a prominent enough enemy in zelda to be represented in this mod

I actually do not see these things as belonging in the Ikanian armies. Although I am a fan of the Keese, I have trouble actually finding a place for them. Aside from the Stalfos/Shiekah armies, I can't think of any factions off-hand that could actually use these things. I would see them more as wild creature rebel units.

Not even a little bit?

Ok, they can fit... still in the Stalfos army though.

[Mjolnr839]

whats he from, and who is he?

[Duke Serkol]

That's Gomess, he's a miniboss fought in the Stone Tower. You know, that place in Ikana.

i was an idiot child and never got un-Deku-fied.........

tis one of my deepest gaming related shames........

Zelda is one of the sufferers from my horrible habit of starting games and only finishing not even 1-% of them.

bad me......

I realize that. Redeads were also present throughout most of Ikana castle and they are in the stalfos army. Gomess just doesn't seem to fit in with Ikana's overall design. He is a friggin black ghost surrounded by bats. Ok, I'll admit his form looks vaguely like a Garo... vaguely. Half the stuff in Stone Tower does not appear to relate to Ikana really, especially in relation to overall tone and style. This guy looks more at home with the Stalfos unless Neph decides to put in poes and give them to Ikana. If he does that, I might consider Gomess as an Ikanian unit. Until then, Keese/Gomess seem more of a fit for Stalfos than Ikana.

[Duke Serkol]

I was telling Mjolnr actually, but anyway, seeing as Neph enlisted the Garo among the Ikana, I figured the stuff in Stoen Tower was fair game.

Personally though, I actually agree with you. Both the garo and the enemies in Stone Tower don't seem to belong to them.
And in any case, I'd be fine with the Keese being with Ikana, the Stalfos or on their own as wild beast hunts... so whichever Neph goes for is cool with me.

[nintendo64isking]

the reason why id favour ikana is because i feel they need a speedy unit so the flying keese would work well in that role, and i would love to see gomess as a hero for ikana, one of the coolest minibosses ever

How will the hollow knights work?

[GoldenGohma]

Hm... there are various enemies native to Ikana, yes?

Now that I think about it, would gorons have been alive at the time of Ikana being thrust into Termina? The curse on Termina might have been broadly applied to any inhabitants in the area, which might explain the rather strange Nejirons and Real Bombchus that inhabit the area? I don't think Gorons would be happy with the goddesses if they were led to believe they had turned some of goron kind into those... things.

Of course, if they're creations of Majora itself*, then wouldn't they be used in his conquest of Hyrule?

(*Him? Her? I always thought Majora was a her... weird)

Eyegore seems to function as a vigilant sentinel in the Stone Temple. While Eyegore, sometimes called Rocklops, have been seen in other games as common mooks, the one in Majora's Mask has a unique design and miniboss status. It could, perhaps, fill another artillery rule as cannon elephants? Or perhaps throw boulders, whichever you prefer.

(Excuse me if I make some obvious mistakes or sound incoherent... it's rather late.)

I like the idea.

Najirons, by the way, have been repeatedly suggest for various factions.

[GoldenGohma]

Well, if they go to any faction, it will most likely be either The Kingdom or Majora. They could work as unusual wildlife which menace the area around Ikana, but beyond those three I really doubt any candidates... especially gorons.

Oh, excuse how off topic this last part is, but your signature is the first thing that comes to mind anytime I hear the letter Sigma.

I think the Stalfos were suggested as well. And someone thought they could be used as kamikaze units.

I should probably change it before Undying Nephalim gets angrier at me...

EDIT:
There we go. Now if there's any remaining cause for irritation I am not aware of it.

[nintendo64isking]

hollow knights, bravo they may become my favourite unit and yay the ikana get chariots the warriors of the stone tower are looking awesome now

[Eldren]

how about beamos as defensive unit for ikana

I like this idea. Beamos as defensive unit for ikana. Would be good. It would be the same principle as the Twilightarmos, for the Twili. Maintained Lost Relics, or in this case Maintained War Machines.
There quite a list of Styles to choose from.
Take a look, and post your vote, if you like. :

Poes would allso work for the ikana

Poes could have "hide any where". And tunneling like Lanayru Province Arurodas. To simulate being fazed. And we on the Golden Land Mod, are working on getting Agahnim to faze in and out of battle. If we git that to work? And Neph gets flying units to go though Walls? Then we have !Poes! Ever One!

Like always, I'm interested in any one's thoughts on the matter.

[Eldren]

Units and multi-classing. What do we want to Do?!....

I posted this on the Stolfos thread, but as I said. I'm not Sure where it would truly go.

I guess I should've posted a Picture of the Anubis

As I look at it.
I'm not sure if it fits Stolfos or ikana better.

this is the info on Anubis; from that site. (don't know if people actually take the time to look at links or not )

The Anubis is a mummified, jackal-like creature that resides in the Spirit Temple in Ocarina of Time. An Anubis only moves when Link moves and only attacks when he attacks. Whenever Link moves, an Anubis moves in the opposite direction, and whenever an Anubis is attacked with the sword, it attacks back with fire.

The only way to defeat an Anubis is to use fire. If an Anubis is present, there will always be a fire trap in the room. Link must trick the Anubis to move it into the trap. However, a Fire Arrow or Din's Fire will also do the job.

Watching troops bust in to fire from a melee attack, would look great.

This description that the site gives. Would suggest that they have the Heavily Armored status. They are slow, hard to kill, and take more damage from magic, and siege engines. Their attacks sound like it would be Melee and do magic damage.
If they are going to be given to Ikana. Maybe The Anubis held the Ikana's imprison in purgatory. Until the Anubis were corrupted by the power that freed the Ikana's.

Like always. Any thoughts.

I don't think it has been said enough how beautiful those chariots are. Just 5 of them can destroy an entire stack of bokoblins and moblin mobs...
