[Fate]

Gilgamesh is a Hittite (?) legend, the first legend ever recorded (on stone tablets in cuneiform "triangle" alphabet). Gilgamesh had a close friend (I forgot his name) who died, so Gilgamesh (who was 1/2 deity, like Hercules, except not immortal) went to heaven to see if he could get his friend back/attain immortality (he failed both).

At the gate is two "Scorpion Men" who stand guard over heaven, and who's glance alone is enough to kill any mortal (Gilgamesh survived because he had some heavenly blood). They were some pretty nasty pieces of work. No wonder the mountains shudder.

So, Endo... Scorpion men perhaps? Any changes at all to Oceania?

The shapechangers, the national spells, the other spells, the whole different era... Quite a bit. Nothing that can't wait, of course. I'd have to test and see how things were like in that Dom2 mod, though, and thus posting pics would be a bit more complicated. I'll post some, though, if no one else has any other (non-Scorpion Men -related ) ideas.

How about, of all things, any cool new mercenary leaders or unit-types? I'd love to see a surprise or two there.

Or some of the new indy types? Anything interesting there?

Show us your Toad Tribes.

Toad Tribe, for one. And the Jaguar Tribe. And Wolf Tribe, and Deer Tribe, and Bear Tribe. Those are all tribes I can remember at the moment (I don't think Vanaras were named Monkey Tribe, but there are of course some poptypes for the new races). And of course, the indeps are categorized by the ages. The animal and amazon tribes are more common in the earlier times, good armor becomes common in later ages, etc. There could be Cavemen, too, but they'd have to be EA only, as I haven't seem them yet. Or then they're just really rare in later ages.

Of course, the indy mages lost most of their power, so while those tribal mages offer easy access to very low-level Nature magic, getting other types is much more rare. Compared to a N1H1 Druid, N1 with a 10% chance for something else isn't that bad, but it's much less than we were used to. Or you are used to. Any way, in a month it'll be the past tense for all of us.

P.S. I almost wrote "Beer Tribe" in there.

With the loss of Indy mage power, are sages still around?
Weak, but diverse, and there seems to be an attempt to reduce access to that diversity.
