Not-In-the-Manual Nations

In the latest patch there is Bogarus. What other nations are available but not listed in the manual? Are there any manual-like descriptions for these nations?

Formoria in the early age.
Pythium in the late age.
Tir na n'og in early and middle age.
Lanka in the early age.
of course Bogarus in the new patch (la).

I think there are more but those are the ones I could remember .

Tir na n'og is early only. In middle age, it's called Eriu, and, well, it does not play the same nation at all (instead of glamour and stealthy troops everywher, you only get mages and capital only sacred warriors that are stealthy).
Pythium LA is called Serpent Cult (forget strong Astral, welcome sacred hydras).

BTW, does anyone know anything about the mysterious nation slot reserved for "Gath"? This has been around since Dom 2, maybe even earlier. O_o

MK: Gath is apparently supposed to be Hebrew in influence. That's about all I know.

The request I have about these nations is that it would be nice if we could get the same write-ups (here, if not elsewhere) about them that we received in the manual for the original nations. Most importantly for me would be their PD and the fort building information.

Wikipedia tells me that Gath is a city of Philistines which were enemies of the ancient Hebrews (Goliath came from there), so it shouldn't Hebrew, it should hate the Hebrews

Of course, considering my excitement from Sar Elad, I'd probably like an Illwinter made Hebrew influenced nation

Agrajag: All I can tell you is what I've heard. Of course, I'm hoping that my Carthaginian mod comes out soon....
