Dark Culture Rework - Subcultures

Dark Culture Remastered (w/ Subcultures) is here!

I will only mention changes. If I don't mention that something is removed, assume it is still there.

Generic Changes
No longer has -10 alignment

Interrogation Dungeon
>Initial knowledge income is changed to +1 knowledge per pop

Ritual Maus
>Initial mana income is changed to +1 mana per pop
Note: Both keep their hero scaling just to be clear

Dark Warrior
Has base 60% chance to inflict sundered defense on his base attacks

Overlord (Vanilla Dark but better)
Cull the Weak
>Now works vs Sundered Defense, Resistance, and Slow. Magic and Physical ranged attacks now also heal but only heals 5 instead of the normal 10. Melee attacks still heal 10.

Iron Fist
>A new spell that is automatically unlocked for you upon picking the culture. 100% Rush Discount for structures but -10% mana, food, and draft income from that city.

Note 1: Rushing cost is based on the amount of draft/production that is LEFT to build/recruit whatever it is. Number of turns before it's completed has nothing to do with it's cost.

Note 2: Do not use this on a city where you will have 100% Rush Discount. If you do, the rush button will be greyed out. This is a bug, and I have reported it here[forum.paradoxplaza.com], but in the meantime, don't do it.

Overlord's Tower
>+1 city stability per pop
>Loses initial draft for +1 draft per pop
>Grants ALL cities you own immunity to negative economic effects from low stability

Dominion (Order Subculture)
Fear the Strong:
>Basically, you heal 5 HP per adjacent enemy with Misfortune, Soul Cripple (new status), Despair, or has a morale of low or lower at the start of the enemy's turn.
>Should an adjacent enemy die while under those effects, they will heal you 5 HP.
>Magic and Physical ranged attacks will restore 2 HP when they attack someone with these effects (4 for non-repeating) (they still have the adjacency heal).
>Melee attacks have base 60% chance to inflict Misfortune
>Magic and Physical Ranged attacks have a base 60% chance to inflict Soul Cripple

Soul Cripple
>At the start of enemy's turn, inflict 3 Spirit damage and once per turn, 2x Remorse. Stacks up to 5x. Countered by Rally and Regeneration.

Decrees (A series of spells)
Each shares an effect that all cities you own lose 4 city stability per province they have while the Decrees are active. Each cost 30 mana/30 casting points and last indefinitely until you cancel them. Only one can be active, and it must be cast on your throne city (the following decrees do still effect ALL your cities independent of each other. Throne city targeting is only required to cast the spell which had to be done to avoid decree stacking)

>Decree of War
>>+2 knowledge and imperium per Empire unit killed

>Decree of Magic
>>+1 mana per province
>>Summoned units have a -15% upkeep

>Decree of Expansion
>>-10% food required for population increases
>>+1 gold per province

>Decree of Conscription
>>Units gain +10% XP Bonus
>>+1 Production per province
>>+1 Draft per province

Dominion University (Replaces Overlord's Tower)
>+1 City stability per pop
>+10% XP Bonus to units drafted here
>If built in a Non-Dark Culture
>>-20 City Stability
>>Gains your Cultural Units but of their race
>>Units produced in this city has -10% upkeep instead of the XP bonus
>City suffers no economic penalties for low stability
>Once build in your starting race city, can be built in other non-starting race cities you own that are tier 2 or above (for cheaper)

Note: This does not give Riot immunity

Sundering Curse
>Becomes 12 Spirit/12 Frost instead of 24 frost
>Inflicts Soul Cripple with 90% chance instead of Weaken

Dominion's Designation (replaces Ice Shackles)
>Instead of slowed, it inflicts Soul Cripple and does 5 frost damage instead of 10

Dominion's Curse (replaces Baneful Curse)
>Inflicts Despair instead of Weaken

To-Be-Done
Each Subculture will have an *additional* Tier 3 Unit which will be a later update (because I think all Cultures should have two T3 units anyways). What I can tell you so far:
Overlord will have a T3 Ranged unit
Dominion will have a T3 Support Unit (this will then be included in the Dominion University's effect)

If you have any ideas for those, don't be afraid to let me know!
