Default Re: Amazon Mod

I will be interested to hear what people think of the balance of Themiskyra, the Amazon nation this mod replaces Pangaea with.

It seems balanced to me, though different from any other nations, and certainly with many strengths. It does get off to a good start because of having access to all magic paths. Of course, all other nations have a chance to get all of the same abilities by late game, by taking independent Amazon tribes. The gem income is fairly weak too, and dispersed. The new units I added are mainly to provide something generic for PD, but the Amazon Leader and heroines have good thug and perhaps item-SC potential. And I added an (I think minor) stealth element. I think they're a lot of fun to play, but I'll be interested in elite high-magic-type players' opinions of their balance.

In later patches, or with some more graphic work, I hope to be able to modify the pretender choices and heroines a bit. Otherwise I think it is pretty complete and AFAIK balanced.
