Yay another mod from Sombre!!!

As for feedback, huuuum, province defence is too strong, take out the destroyers, too good, as for balancing issues it's pretty good, their size lowers there effectiveness in melee which is great considering their big mean weapons, should I come across something devastatingly bad I'll be sure to tell you!

I put destroyers in PD??

I thought it was executioners and servant warriors. My bad.

Very nice mod, cant wait until its finished. E9N9 Destroyers are great(berserk prevents routing, they gain 2 fatigue per turn, have very high prot when berserk, halberds hit like hell) and im having alot of fun with this nation.

The nation does, however, seem a little weak. The large size and below average morale(or slightly above average but with poor defence) makes routing a problem and with no ranged troops(i wouldnt count javelins) and no spectacular magic, sure they have pretty good Death and Astral but thats it and ermors best mages are practically identical but can also raise dead and ermor also has a much tougher army(tower shields, good morale, decent or better armour, standards, ethereal sacreds).
I can see the nation getting alot better with flyers, good assasins and BANEFIRE crossbows but currently they dont seem too great. The heroes also sound good but you cant really say a nations strong because of great heroes.

Overall, very fun but could do with a little boost.

Great Scott! I'd forgotten these guys. I should really update them some time next week(end). I wonder if I'll ever get round to doing the other 3 warwind nations too.

Oh yeah and I'm attaching a proper preview png.

Looks nice only heavy cav with no resource cost is 100% not as it should be.

They're hirable mercenaries - they only need gold. If the gold cost needs to go up to balance them, that I have no problem with, but they aren't going to cost resources.

Well since there aren't (you might know better than me cus I'm pretty new to the game) any high defense troops that cost 0 resources (except for the REAL mercs which are severly limited in number and use). I guess there was a reason for that. I think that it would be pretty strong late in the game to be able to build those in every fortess you have since you'll be swimming in money anyway most of the time (I know I am).

So my solutions would be:
-Make em cost resources and a fair amount. (but I know you disagree)

-If they are really heavy cav. they should at least cost SOME resources as to prevent (say 10, which means you can still build 4x as much as you can regulare heavy cav)

-Make em not so heavy armoured, rover sounds like raider (? dun ask me ?) and so maybe SHOULD be lightly armoured.
