Re: We Need Serpent Cult
I disagree that WNN{SNDW} is weak magic for a late period nation - it's better than what over half of the different positions get; it's better than what Ulm gets, and the sacred serpent cataphract (not to mention the Hydra) is highly competitive with the strongest sacred units of the late era.
I've always assumed that the Emerald Guard - who are bad ***, and bodyguards to the Emperor - were inspired by the Varangian Guard and the like. I believe the Emerald Guard have the best profile of any "normal human" in the game.
Finally, the sacred swamp is in-game, and I strongly suspect that given there's a nation # reserved in late era, unless you anticipate late-era oceania...
