Mod: New Nation : Cantabira, Land of Standing Stones

[Endoperez]

I agree with others, you've got a talent for makings sprites. I recognize some of the sources (Tir Na Nog/Eriu troops for that bronze look, MA Agartha's Attendant of Oracles etc) but they fit together very well.

However, word of caution: if players can choose armored troops, they won't have any reason to buy unarmored troops. See EA Marverni - you don't have to buy the low-prot troops, so you don't. Mapmove 2, prot 10 units with shield aren't as good as MA Ermor/Pythium Principes, but quite close, and this is Early age, so your nationals are actually pretty good compared to some other nations.

Of course, in Early age other nations have Niefels and Palankashas and Burning Ones and Warriors of the Five Elements as recruitables, so the ccompetition is much harsher than in MA.

Yes, I tested the mod myself, and it appeared that I wasn't recruiting the low-prot units...

So I've considered raising the price and/or resource cost for armored troops, to reflect the fact that in Cantabira, bronze is yet a costful resource, and perhaps make unprotected clansmen a bit more interesting to recruit, at least sometimes.

What do you think of that ?

That's what I'd do in your situation. High resource cost (for such a low-prot unit) might make it easier to mass cheaper units and cast Marble Warriors (or something) at them.
