This mod is replaces all 17 nations with new ones based on independent provinces, summonable units, and other misc. units (it also includes the official hoburg mod, thanks Illwinter
). The main reason for the mod is to provide players who are bored with playing/fighting all the basic nations/themes some new material to work with. I'm sure with so much stuff changed there are more than a few bugs, typos and balance issues, so please let me know.
A small note: For many creatures in the mod, the gold cost represents paying for the mage time to bind/create the creature and maintain the spell, not that the creatures themselves use the gold.
