I'm making a mod based on the Finnish epic, Kalevala, and on Finnish mythology in general. At the moment, it's a mismatch of bear tribals, random ideas and heap of national spells. Suggestions are welcome.
Mages everywhere:
Witch: N1E1 / 100 gp, sacred
Wiseman: N1 ?100%WEDN / 120 gp, sacred Holy 1
mages cap only:
Spellsinger: N2E1 ?210%WEDN / 240 gp
Bear Tribe Shaman: N2 ?10%E / 110gp, sacred stealthy
units everywhere:
Bear Tribe Warriors (l.inf. with spear/javelin or hatchet)
Huskarl (med.inf. with spear/javelin, shield or axe/javelin, shield)
Woodsman (l. archer with dagger/shortbow; stealthy)
Hunstman (med.inf. with axe, crossbow, shield; stealthy)
Hakkapelite (light cav with broad sword, lance, hoof, shield)
The idea is a national army low in armor but good in stealth and with high damage-dealing potential. Hakkapelites have def 18 and only cost 15 resources, but they lack special qualities that'd make them rival centaur warriors or vanir.
units cap only:
Vaetti
Vaetti Wolfrider
National spells:
Code:
Spellsong of the Forest People, N3/9 gems ritual, conj 3
3x "kithaironic bear" with prot 18, att 12, str 23

Fanaticism that costs 1 gem. Nation has no priests that can cast sermon of courage.
heroes:
not done yet, but will include Väinämöinen (mage with good E, lesser NWD, low awe and good combat skills), Ilmarinen (mage with good A, lesser F and/or E, forge bonus) and Hiisi (custom moose-riding Troll King with a bit of Nature in addition to Earth) and possibly one or more of the following:
-Louhi, a seithkona/norna type crone that shapechanges into a Great Eagle or Ziz
-Joukahainen, a foolish hero with a bit of magic skill and lots of inherent flashy equipment like a flaming bow, a fiery mount, perhaps sailing ability
-Lemmink�inen, a human hero that her mother brings back from the dead (immortal?)
-small man who comes from the sea and transforms into a hulking giant in bronze equipment (fomorian in full bronze armor?)
