Possible missing nations in Dom III?

I'd love to see a nation based on the aboriginal dreamtime myth.

It would also be interesting to have a few nations which bucked the general idea of Dominions. How about a nation of athiests - no priests, but lands are immune to enemy dominion (naturally, their own dominion would be strength 0).

Mod commands are not far to be able to make this kind of nation (you can use dying dominion like Mictlan, but without allowing blood sacrifices, sloth immune nations too, but there aren't commands to make a nation immune to other dominions effects, you can also give this nation lots of iconoclast reducing the dominions ; the only problem is : without an awake pretender the atheist nation will lose in the beginning of turn 2).

Well, you could still spread the faith in atheism, haven't you seen Southpark recently?

(specifically the Wii episodes)

Heh, I saw Fellowship of the Ring in theaters with someone who wasn't familiar with Tolkien. After the movie she commented that it seemed awfully derivative and just like every generic fantasy.

I was reminded of the quote about the student who didn't see what was special about Shakespeare, since all he did was string a bunch of famous quotations together...

I wonder what would be a pretender for such nations. Nobody would believe in him... Maybe they shouldn't even have a pretender. And no prophet, of course... With such setup they would probably need some pretty mighty mages

Could be a Philosopher. Or a Horror (now there's an idea - a nation of horrors....). Perhaps even an anti-pretender or doomsday cult style of thing (believers of the Pancreator who are convinced that the world is going to end with his death). Then again, many of the Pretenders themselves are former servants of the Pancreator - perhaps an entire race of such beings exist. They would have no reason to worship any of the pretenders, since in their eyes they'd be equals.
