Aww, no more turkeies?

I wonder if they'll ever give us a new nation. Like EA+MA Bogarus, EA+LA Machaka, EA Pyth or manifest some other culture or myth. Maybe incorporate hoburg not as a mod nation...

The game has a nation slot reserved for EA Machaka. Like it had for Hinnom, Ashdod & Gath a while ago.

EA Machaka would be good. Maybe their lack of armor wouldn't be such a pain in EA. Spiders are cool, I hope they keep them.

EA Machaka would in all likelihood not have spiders. They are supposedly a lion themed nation. There's a lot of stuff to work with for them, but if cultural/mythological progression is followed, EA Machaka would also be a primarily Air/Fire/Nature nation instead of Earth/Fire/Death like MA Machaka.

This ties into the prevalent black African creation myths where people dwelling in the clouds are a regularly featured convention, as well as learning fire from them and men being immortal until they were tricked by a lizard (in some variations a snake, but most often a lizard) to bury the body of a person killed by some means in the earth, which caused all men to become mortal and subject to death by disease and other methods.

I had a good chat with Kristoffer about these things a couple of years back, but at the time he was busy developing Jomon and a few other things so EA Machaka got sidelined.

Maybe you could kindly nudge KO to get EA Mackaka out of the freezer

Lion themed A/F/N EA Machaka would be nice indeed

Were there ever any thoughts re. LA Machaka?

Well, I could ask Kristoffer if he has any hankering for doing EA Machaka. Can't hurt.

We never did discuss a Late Era Machaka. One of the reasons why is that I don't have a suitable frame of reference or knowledge for that particular subject.
