The Nobles leadership of 25 is supposed to represent the fact that the armies of the Spring & Autumn period (couldn't resist using the name) 722-481 BC were rather small and the fighting mostly done by chariot-borne noblemen. Honour and prestige rather than territory was the goal of the battles (according to D.A. Graff).

The default theme of the nation is the classical empire thing and the only one that is orderly. Actually I was tempted to make order 3 an obligation for the default. The bureaucracy of imperial China was outstanding.

The ancestor cult of early times was renewed with the barbarian incursions and their beliefs.

Oops, I got carried away.
The Spring and Autumn theme seems intresting. Where did th name come from?

I suppose that Barbarian Kings get also Masters of the Way in addition with Masters of the Dead?

BTW, looking at the all units file, there seemed to be awfully few BK specific units, The Khan, Master of the Dead and the two Barbarian Cavalries. I would have liked to see more Mongol-type units. A Khan hero would also be nice.
Do the Barbarian Cavalries have a pillage bonus like the normal Barbarians have?
