New Mod - C'tis - The Ermorian Inquisition

[Sombre]

Sounds good. Is this going to be a new nation or will it replace the LA Ctis? (or is it MA?)

I wouldn't worry overly about some abusive tactics that the player can use with various units (such as powerful sacreds) - you can make them expensive but if people want to use tactics that the AI is entirely unable to counter then there's really no point in trying to stop them - they're only cheating themselves of a challenge.

Don't worry too much about a lack of new sprites - the nation is set firmly in the dom3 world (a good choice, especially for a first mod) and a lot of the feel of a nation stems from descriptions and capabilities anyway.

It's a replacement for the LA Ctis, and I'm just giving it a quick beta-test. The principes, even at 20g instead of 15g were strictly better than anything Ctis could field, and I instead settled for giving the existing Ctis heavy infantry a javelin and scrapping the very powerful legionary altogether. Before, there was very little Ctis in the armies outside of the Marshmaster replacement, as the priests were human, and the Legionaires were clearly the best choice for basic infantry. Now the national troops are mainly Ctis with a smattering of human slayers. I'd like to develop another human-based national that will augment the basicl lizard infantry, but not having strong missile weapons or flankers is something of a staple of Ctis and I don't want to completely remove that weakness. The strength of this nation is in it's priests.

Theologist - 140g, Old, Sacred

All three are very powerful, and you definately notice them on the battlefield.
