As far as mod nations go, I haven't looked at, played with or against any. Not sure what's balanced or compatible.
Nice idea, though I still think you guys might want to keep first choice, especially given the number of noobs I intend to throw at you. Yes, we shall have fun indeed! I'm working on the backstory now. All of my proposed settings will be listed.

Get ready Ermor. The Nief Jarls are newly energized and looking for another fight. Let's just say, they have a secret weapon now.

Probably the swine flu. It killed them all.

Lanka is now ruled by the prophet of Mysterio. What other nations shall soon follow?

Agartha might have won a battle this turn, but considering its pyrrhic nature and the fact that both his castles are now under siege I'd dare to suggest he's losing the war.

Perhaps the other vets should take a lesson from Caelum and shed some provinces. Much less micromangement that way.
