Marignon is tricky.

My heart says it is a spanish society, but maybe it could also be a mixture of Merovingian/Carolingian Europe with Spanish inquisition influences.

C'tis is based on ancient egypt. Especially the desert tomb theme points in that direction.

H.P.Lovecrafts Cthulhu comes to mind.

You guys sure know your Dominions 2. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I may give C'Tis a try now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Apparently a good guess. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif There was a battle at Marignan in 1515 between France and "The Holy League to Liberate Italy", which included England, Germany, and Spain. (Anchor Atlas of World History, vol 1, p 219)

Except that both other C'tissian themes have nothing at all to do with ancient Egypt.














Also, Egyptians weren't lizards.

ROFL, sorry, I just couldn't let that go ROFL

Re: Nation names ??
 

I've looked into C'tis a bit, and other than one of their priest units having a greek origin, I can't trace them to any historical civilization.

They could represent some mythological race like Jotunheim, or they're possibly a mix of cultures.

Or its possible not every realm presented has a real world parallel.

Although it'd be odd for all but one to seemingly have one. But R'yleh is based on a book I guess, so maybe something similiar could be for C'Tis. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
