Arabs and Carthaginians

[Sandman]

I suggested an undead Carthage a while back. Fire/death, mostly, with fireproof basic undead and the elites including elephants, undead slingers, archers, etc.

I'd just make the hashishim cheaper and available everywhere. Maybe 40 gold, stealth +10 and dual golden daggers (they didn't like poison). Capital-only assassins are seldom worth it.

Magicwise, my preference would be to make a Muslim nation's core magic fire/air. It's vaguely thematic, not taken by any other nation and is a good combination.

For the early era, you get a Persian nation with fire/air/astral and angel summons. In the middle era, it becomes a pure fire/air Arabic nation with djinn and efreet summons, whilst in the late era, it moves to an Ottoman nation with earth/fire/air and powerful Jannissary elites.
