SE4 Advanced? For some reason I expect to see Black Hole Neotanks fighting against cartoony looking infantry on the ground combat
edit: after actually reading some of your post, this mod looks pretty exciting!
Need any help with the mod, or maybe porting an SE5 version or something?
edit 2: Malfadorian Worshippers are not evil already? Wasn't Malfador originally a demon from some movie or other? (Aaron did admit it on IRC once if I recall correctly
) I'd think maybe the Malfadorian Worshippers would be the evil ones, and the Paladins of Orion or something could be the "good" guys, except they're not really all that good because they're basically the Crusaders in space, or maybe the Knights of the Round Table, just running around slaughtering people in the name of goodness and light
(Hey, if you're going to be lighthearted with "Talismans of Aaron", why not have some fun with the other side, too?)
Maybe each cult could have its own racial trait like in Adamant... and add some flavor to them with penalties too... like the death shrine could reduce reproduction?
