Re: Site-modding Think-tank.
 
Hmmmm ... I'm thinking theme packs. Add a number of sites around a certain theme that would color gameplay in a certain way.

In Nomine
Above and beyond the Pretenders, there are other Powers which seek to influence the world. Who are they? What do they want? Most importantly, how can the Pretenders exploit them as part of their ongoing struggle for dominance?

An escalating tier of Holy sites that offer various scale bonuses and (more importantly) allow recruiting assorted angels and/or holy warriors. For example:
  • Shrine of the Spheres - H1 to locate - gives +1 Order and allows you to recruit High Priests and Flagellants
  • Temple of Divine Love - H2 to locate - gives +1 Growth & +1 Order and allows you to recruit Harbingers
  • (and so on, and so on)

And of course, there would also be a descending tier of Blood sites that would act similarly, only with scale penalties and recruitable demons.

---

One thing to consider about adding a bunch of Holy sites:
Currently, the only remote site-searching spell that finds Holy sites is the oh-so-expensive Acashic Record. Now I love this spell, but it is quite pricey, and you need a certain amount of Astral muscle to cast it. How could we mod a spell to allow remote site-searching for Holy (and only Holy) sites? Since there are no "Holy gems," how would we pay for the spell?

I really like the dogs of war site idea.

Hmm, since the angels are astral summons afaik how about a cheap astral spell that binds an angel for a short time to reveal holy sites in a province?

Another thought: Like R'lyeh MA and LA, mod Nations might be created that allow mages to enter sites and summon units. You'd only get the one type of unit, but it would be an alternative to either summoning or recruiting units. And it also would then make that site available to other Nations, once they captured that Nation's capital-which becomes a strategic consideration.
