Mod Dominions 3000 v0.81 - lots of new indies, new map (using the brand new map commands)

I don't mind the idea of a super powerful summon that is supposed to be the dragon's god being brought back into the world. But I would make the casting requirements even higher. Say 9 astral, 9 death, and instead of making it a summon make it a different path, like enchantment. Although it would be better if it was a path that really didn't help the dragons otherwise, like thaumaturgy.

Oh I didn't get far enough to summon in that game, I'm going to start over with the pretender I suggested (I used one more rainbow with inferior magic paths that just wasn't going anywhere fast), and see if I can do better. Hopefully I'll even get a starting army this time.

Someone seems to have pushed a sloth dominion onto me, I can't for the life of me muster the willpower to set all those provinces by hand. I did my first today, hopefully as I do more it will feel less painful... I think I need to get some things organized first so the task seems less monumental.

The organization work I needed to do is done and I have gotten a few more provinces completed. Hopefully I'll have a day soon with more time available in it where I can sit down and do more than a few provinces without having to run off for some reason or another. I haven't really had time to test much either, maybe I shouldn't have gotten myself into all those games.

On a different note, how are all the other nations coming along? It's been a long time since I've seen anything about the ermor nation, and what ever happened to aboleths/neoclidia? How are the pirians coming along? And finally, any more thoughts about the evolution of machaka?

@machaka: They're an Africa-esque nation, right? Why not 'update' them? My vision(please don't make me do Machaka, please!) of Machaka is this: A nation that has come back from a massive civil war. The many tribes, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, have finally unified under Machaka.

The tribes in general have less-powerful weaponry (one tribe might not). However, they are numerous, very numerous, and the order of the Black Sorcerers has returned. Machaka would have a lot of magic diversity, though each mage would have roughly the magic diversity of Ermor (ie, you get an okay amount in one path, or very little in two). And I have to leave so I'll finish this up later (I ended up writing the bottom part first).

For the nations, I've got two Pirians done (the two heros). I thought I did the pretender too, but no. With winter break gone, I might work on them a bit more (I'd say less but that's not possible to do). As to Neoclidia, it's about finished. I forgot to update it for the forest-provinces, though, so I may get around to that too (or Aezeal might do it I guess since I posted "full" Neoclidia a while ago.
