Re: New nation : Shangri La, Hidden City of the Secret Masters
I had the thought that it might be interesting to give a low level priest unit (H1) the enormous (3 foot long) ceremonial kukris ghurkas use to sacrifice an ox before battle (for the unaware-it's considered a favorable sign if the head of the ox can be completely severed with a single blow). It seems a priestly function, and would separate them from most any other human priest if they had such a high damage weapon.
The 'tarwar' swords from the first link looked like they'd be pretty fun, too. I have the suspicion that they really did come from the Turks, though, since they seem very similar to the "Talwar" or "Tulwar" (a middle-easten long sword with a blade that's distinctively thicker at the point), even in the name.
