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.

Sages are still around, in all their S1 glory. Other than they, they are their old selves. A bit more noticeably old than before, but that's not important, is it?

I'll bump the question about new mercenaries. Any interesting ones?

I don't remember any. As with Dom2, I'd expect that there are new merc groups for various new nations. You know, like there was the Green Horde of Tien Chi cavalry. Probably not for all, because e.g. Agarthans seem to be pretty scarce during all three ages.
