This is a post for discussing the following mods: Padmassa, Arga Dis, Theran Empire, Sanguinia.

All of these are blood nations, several are blood/death or blood/astral or both, and that's too many, especially as four completely distinct nations. They're also all somewhat thin - several are not diverse enough to be competitive, I believe. One nation in three ages, OTOH, functions a little better, and 5/11 blood doesn't drastically increase the number of blood positions, as a fraction of the total. With this diversity of units to choose from, the positions should be tactically diverse, as well.

Thus you have EA Padmassa - The Black Coven, MA Padmassa - Horror Scourge, and LA Padmassa - Reign of the Vampiri. It's ESBD in every era, and makes sensical use of all of these units and artwork in only three slots.

The four clans from Amos' Theran empire would be retained, and the Argans would be added as an extra clan, maybe the Sanguinians are drawn from the same clan or maybe they replace one of those clans in the late era? I'll reread the flavor text and try to preserve as much of it as I can.

EA Padmassa would inherit a share of the units from every era, mostly with more primitive armor and weapons. The circle masters are experimenting with horrors and vampirism, in addition to the evil stuff I already have them doing.
MA Padmassa would get all of the Theran Empire and most of the Arga Dis units. The giant ogres from Arga Dis will be horror-infected somehow. The Argans are not physically afflicted like the other clans - the insidious influence of the horrors is what gives them their unique "personality".
LA Padmassa would get all of the Theran Empire units, most of the Sanguinia units and some of the Arga Dis units. The vampires will all be reconfigured to be conforming - only, you know, they won't suck.

To avoid confusion with the source material, I just call it Padmassa in every era. I don't care if people get my mod confused; given how long it takes me to do this I probably won't be able to maintain my version anyway.

Anyway, this seems like the best way to fit all these great units into a restricted number of slots and without including too many blood nations.

P.S. - I think that, at one point or another, that I got permission to do this from all the mod authors for this section, but I need to doublecheck before I proceed.

Also, it'd be nice if people were really, actually okay with this fusion, and not just "yeah you do what you want". I can work on this further if they feel that it doesn't do their work justice, or I don't have to include it, obviously.
