Happy belated birthday. :p

I was indeed thinking of higher requirements, but combined with a different form of recruitment, much like Rophs' suggestion, which just sparked the following:
 
- new puzzle, A25 style
- to avoid spoilers: puzzle would revolve around mixing player DNA string with A25 tools, making it unique for every account
- reward: possibility to recruit new creature
 
As for the creature... had a few thoughts while I was trying to sleep. :P Not about the  name/art/description, but about what a bird like that could be used for.
 
- I was thinking of it as having half the stats of a Winderwild - some dwarf version of it, its evolution being hampered by the difficulties of its migration.
- Now, even upon taming, the bird would remain partially wild, meaning that there would be a very slight chance that it would attack your own troops.
- However, to make up for that wild behavior, remove the aura of the Winderwild and replace it with an ability triggered on damage dealt to creature of equal or lower level. (pecking at their eyes, and stuff like that)
- Ability: Blind - Target goes berserk, having a fix X% chance of inflicting friendly damage. Works on "living" targets.
 
Edit 1: I wouldn't give this creature the ability to hit more than one target at a time. :P
 
Edit 2: To add a bit to the DNA string + A25 tools idea - I'm thinking of nightshade, and how it helps you see certain stuff. Playing around with it some more, and somehow involving the DNA string would "reveal" these birds, which were apparently always there, just unseen due to some mutation they went through during their migration.

Happy birthday. :)

As a researcher, I think that the idea of hell hounds does fit in with GG, one must only look past the connotations of the word "hell". Perhaps I am basing my conclusion on false evidence, and I would be happy to discuss it outside of the forum, but I would associate the fire element with Golemus more than with Necrovion.
 
However, as a creature collector and citizen of the MD world, I am opposed to a new creature being placed in Golemus if it won't be public. GG already has more "private goods" than any other land.
 
This quote worries me in regards to this idea:
So to summarize and give my full personal opinion: I would suggest rather than trying to have a new creature implemented, follow in the footsteps of Braiton and mutate an already existing creature with Inner Magic or roleplay, and create a quest (the difficulty of which is up to you, sounds like you'd want it really high difficulty) through which anybody could also do so. In this way the creatures are privatized through you and not through your homeland, and still publicly available if somebody can put in the work. That's my idea, take it or leave it, but most importantly: Don't give up!

Thank you all :)

Thank you for the wishes ... I had a great day with family and friends and a lovely night with my wife at our fireplace outside. A very good red wine was the topping ;).

Happy birthday, both of you. :)
