Default Re: Possible missing nations in Dom III?

1) Tuatha are elves and will appear in alater patch. The Vanir are also elven in nature. Dominions is also not a cut-and-paste Tolkien or D&D copy, hence no traditional fantasy elves ever, and a good thing too.

2) See point about cut-and-paste above. We have all the dwarves we need with the Vanheim and Helheim.

3) See Endoperez's listing of Asian nations. Shinuyama, Yoni, Yomon, T'ien C'hi (3 eras), Kailasa, Lanka and the other Indian myhtology based stuff gives Asia more than a fair shake, but I'm not opposed to getting more from there.

4) C'tis has rather heavy Egyptian influences, possibly conflated with the Stygians from Robert E. Howard's Conan books (at least I get that feel from them, especially the LE C'tis)

If we're going to have more new nations, I'd really like to see something based on the myths from the Australian and Pacific Islands region and the Borneo and Indonesian area as well as something modeled after the myths of the North American natives. Of course, those mythologies may be harder to get hold of.
