Possibly a bonus to all elemental magic, instead. We'll see what item modding lets us do, when it comes out.
Wind, fire, that sort of thing.

Default Martial arts nations...

Wouldn't mind seeing a nation based heavily on that sort of theme. EA TC obviously has such vibes with the Warriors of the Five Elements, and the one Immortal, but with WFE being capital-only and fairly fragile the inclination is to rely on other troops (I like the Celestial Soldiers in particular; fewer friendly-fire casualties than with the flyers, given my fondness for massing archers) on larger maps.

W/FE aren't the toughest units in the world by any means, but with a good Bless on them, combined with the ease of massing them-even Capital only it's not hard, if you concentrate on them-they can be really dangerous, since any and every Bless effect is going to help them out a lot. EA T'C also has lovely Pike militia for cheap-these should also be massed in large numbers (as should T'C archers if you're using an Air-bless), as they greatly compliment the W/FE.

It would be nice if each element had it's own form of kung-fu master, probably as a summons.

The way I would do it would be to have summons which kicked out a W/FE lookalike sacred which when they were badly wounded would transform into a more powerful elemental-based unit. Your enemy wouldn't know what kind of unit they'd be up against until they successfully attacked them, because they'd look just like W/FE, and you could combine them in armies with "normal" W/FE.

The concept comes disturbingly close to Power Rangers, but let's try not to admit that to ourselves or each other, shall we?

I'm working on them somewhat slowly.

Most of my work is going into the Black Tome, and the whole modding operation kinda went on hiatus after Frank left the forum.

If anyone else wants to volunteer artwork, that'd be keen.
