What was your first nation?

[Stryke11]

I can understand why Pythium doesn't have an early age, as they are a splinter from Ermor, but I don't see why they couldn't have a late age version. Maybe with a middle eastern/Turkish flair, since historically the Byzantine Empire was conquered by the Turks. The units wouldn't really be legion troops, but it would be a cool extension of the historical theme, and would introduce a culture to the game that I don't think it in it at present. The whole serpent angle can be kept in for consistency.
