But but but ... how can you omit Glam Metal? Singers should have glamour (obviously) and maybe air magic with a confusion-causing song attack.

Plus hordes of Maenad groupie fans!

Yeah, like I said my metal-fu ain't perfect. Do not really know glam metal, can't even really name any bands.

And yeah, there will definately be maenad groupies. I was also thinking of this summon for "Yoko Ono" with seduction. :P

Don't forget about Eddie (Iron Maiden).

He should be an undead lich-like hero, or maybe a summonnable.

Lucky you!

Examples: Poison, Ratt, Whitesnake :P, I'm not exactly a fan, it was just pretty much unavoidable in the 80's. If it wasn't for the lovely potential for some Maenads, I wouldn't have brought it up.

Hey, how about a Rob Zombie hero that freespawns soulless?

I stumbled upon a page that might help you with the different genres of metal and what bands are considered the pioneers of said genres and what notable bands followed.

Hopefully the link works

It works and is awesome. Thanks. This will help with those gatgories I'm not familiar with. I like the list of Grindcore bands, I need the hear if they're really as disgusting as their notorious reputation.

I was thinking of making a skeleton mod for this next-week, not really playable (only 1 Singer and the troops by Elmokki). But it'd work as base if people really want to add their own ideas (I'm not really expecting anything like that to happen, but I'm positively suprised by the intrest in this project).

Rock on.

Ok, I made the skeletal version I promised before I go to update my other projects. It's not that playable really, only having 4 troops and 2 commanders, but it works as a sort of sign how the nation is going to look like. Here's a pic of the Death Metal Star



And in case someone is inkling to dip their toes into modding and has an idea for the nation, they can just add it to the mod below and then post the altered version back to this thread. Not that I practically expect anything, but getting 3 free sprites upon announcing this thing kind of suprised me. Just some simple rules on adding your own stuff

1) If the unit is monstreous (like Eddie the Lich, which I will make in due time, it's just too awesome of an idea) please make it either an pretender, hero or summon. The national recruits will mostly be humans.

2) Please follow the numering on the .dm file. All numbers start from a certain number and go down. So if you want to add a new monster, just find the lowest monster id on the .dm file and go from that.

3) Please try to make the stuff at least somewhat balanced. This nation is only half-serious, but balance is always nice.

4) Not really anything else to add, but that all contributions are greatly appreciated! Thanks to Elmokki for the sprites, got me started. Rock On!

Here's a KISS, Knight in Satan's Service. I planned to make more of them, but I really cba making slightly different sprites to represent all band members of a band I really don't care much about, so it's just a generic knight. You could use him as a Gene Simmons hero too I reckon.

I'm lazy and didn't bother to add it to the mod.
