[Gandalf Parker]

If it concentrates on thug tactics it still might be an irritant. Besides it rarely gives equipment that is anything to drool over.

I was thinking of maybe giving it trolls and cavemen. And any type of thuggy commander with low leadership so it ends up with lots of commanders that have lots of slots free in case that makes a difference in its "thinking". I seem to be seeing it that way with the mage-only junk nation but since it seems to assign equipment differently for mages Id still like to see late-game for a thug-only nation.

I think there are already some thug-type nations modded. I could just test those in some automatic games against the built-in nations on AI to see if they do better or worse. But I figure Id try some "pure" junk nations first with nothing but (in this case thugs) to see how it goes. I was going to test some of the modded nations we have later on when I have an idea of what is desirable.
