Hey, wouldja mind showing us a new Machaka nation, if there is such a thing?

Yes indeed... I would also like to read and see about Machaka. Do they still have extremely weak province defense ?

Just a matter of priority. Getting the game finished was more important. It might appear at a later date.

> like to read and see about Machaka

Machaka has not been changed much atm. Defence is probably changed a bit, but I'm not sure in what ways. There are some vague ideas on an early Machaka, but nothing that will appear in the release version or in the first patch.

What about Late Machaka & Pythium?

Many would be happy to play some sort of byzantine Pythium...

Not there yet

One of the new Mictlan summonables. Mictlan is one of the nations with numerous new summonables.

I'd like to see some of the new-look Ermor, particularly Early Era (as I'm curious to see what they're like at that point given that, in theory, the shift to an undead nation comes in Late Era).

Early Era Ermor has more archaic lineup of troops (Leve, Accensus and Rorarus instead of Velites and Alae Legionnaires, and Lizard Auxiliares (C'tissians) and Gladiators (as Pythium in MA) that aren't available to Ermor later on). They still (or already?) have Hastati, Principi and Triarii.
Mages are different. Flamen, Pontifex, Augur and Augur Elder are mages-priests with less emphasis on the priest part, with few more powerful priests dedicated to the rising faith in the Prophet Shrouded In White. Powerful paths are in Death and Astral, but weak Fire is common, and their Augurs are exceptionally versatile for Early Age where most nations have elementally attuned creatures as their best mages. Holy 3 Archbishops, all ancient and starting to suffer from it even with their powers of rejuvenation (96 / 90 years, when normal max age for human is about 50) can also heal afflictions, and the sacred Equites of the Sacred Shroud recuperate them naturally.

Here is an edited image of an Augur. It shows his randoms on the same screen; usually you have to click on the question mark.

Interestin, but I wonder of these "Ozelotl" have anything to do with real ozelots...

Wow. That seraph is awe inspiring. I really like its details like the six wings, and the fact that you can't see its face (Attached is "real" seraph pic) .

There are some really cool angels in the bible and in the apocryphs, some of which are evil (samael, lucifer, asmodeus and satan) and some goodly. I recall from somewhere seeing an image of an angel that is made of many faces with many eyes, I don't recall its name but it was really cool looking. I wonder if more angels had made it into dominions...
