Re: Amazon Mod
Well ya they have tons of variety already, with four types of good (if not high-protection) infantry, four types of sacred cavalry/fliers(!), and all magic paths covered, plus the common units I added... they're one of the most diverse nations around.
The Labrys axe is an Amazon icon, from ancient references to its use, and a symbolic link to the historical Amazonian dual queen system - the axe is double-bladed, and served a dual purpose as weapon and farm tool. I worked it into the flag icon, which is why it seemed "thematic" to me to have it as a standard. Maybe not, though.
Trying to avoid adding new stuff to them since they already have so much different stuff, and seeing no better armor in their current inventory, I'm thinking instead that maybe quarterstaff or Snake Staff elites might serve the purpose of these two requests, by giving a high-defense unit, if not a high-prot one. I guess broadswords would do it, too, slightly better (since the shield is retained for anti-missile survival) and without making them Jades (the snakes).
