Marignon is tricky.

My heart says it is a spanish society, but maybe it could also be a mixture of Merovingian/Carolingian Europe with Spanish inquisition influences.

C'tis - no idea

C'tis is based on ancient egypt. Especially the desert tomb theme points in that direction.

You guys sure know your Dominions 2.

I may give C'Tis a try now.

Apparently a good guess.

There was a battle at Marignan in 1515 between France and "The Holy League to Liberate Italy", which included England, Germany, and Spain. (Anchor Atlas of World History, vol 1, p 219)

Except that both other C'tissian themes have nothing at all to do with ancient Egypt.

Also, Egyptians weren't lizards.

I've looked into C'tis a bit, and other than one of their priest units having a greek origin, I can't trace them to any historical civilization.

They could represent some mythological race like Jotunheim, or they're possibly a mix of cultures.

Or its possible not every realm presented has a real world parallel.

Although it'd be odd for all but one to seemingly have one. But R'yleh is based on a book I guess, so maybe something similiar could be for C'Tis.
