I started by creating a dark deity of the grove. It was made for Pangaea, but I think it is also themathic for other nations, particularily Sauromantia. For that I just copy-pasted the following and changed the nation number to 4 (for that matter, you have to do that to put it up in Middle and late pangaea too):

#spr2 "./mytheology/BlackGoat2.tga"
#descr "The Dark Deity of the Grove is a cthonian fertility deity that has been worshipped by secretive druidic blood cults
since times past reckoning. Until now it kept it's presence to the groves deep in the forest where the faithful made their
offerings, but it now sees a chance to turn all the world into a luxuriant dark eden. The deity mannifests as a dark
ectoplasmic emanation, very resistant to normal weapons, albeit vulnerable to fire and sunlight, which can banish it.
However, this entity cannot be truly be destroyed: if defeated, it's shape will reform in it's grove once again"

The idea is that as a pretender it can be a fairly decent spellcaster for battles, and one difficult to hurt at that. Also, it lacks HtH combat abilities (so you cannot make it a full supercombatant), and the restricted item slots mean that youŽll have a hard time using magic boosting items (so you'd better boost those paths you like from design, or be prepared to dish out lots of gems)

Next: some custom blood spells for Pangaea
Quote:
#newspell
#name "Create Demon Tree"
#descr "The caster calls forth a spirit from the void and binds it to an ancient oak. The resulting entity is immobile, but
skilled in blood and nature magic, and specially adept at summoning and enthralling potential ritual victims. The entity's
presence twists natural things in their surroundings, which tends to disturb the inhabitants of the province in which it's
rooted."

#descr "The caster performs the ritual over a cauldron full of a mixture of dirt from an enemy province and sacrificial
blood, and pours the contents on the ground. Ghoulish vines will pull corpses from their graves, and more sensitive women
from the province will tear their clothes in revelry and go to the streets to dance along with the dead, in a ghastly parody
of a festival."

Now, more stuff: Tcho Tcho's. I made them basically as a way to allow late age pangaea to blood hunt reliably. Also, as some cheap skirmish troops.
Quote:
#newmonster 2901
#name "Tcho Tcho witch doctor"
#descr "The Tcho Tcho are wildland-dwelling human tribes with a penchant for cannibalism and human sacrifice. Their priests
are the leaders of a vaguely druidic blood cult, and often combine knowledge of nature magic with necromancy or
demonology.Tcho Tchos are cowardly, and will retreat from battle if things look dire. Tcho Tcho sorcerers are rumored to
reach prodigious ages."

That's all for now. Any thoughts?
