I'd love to see a nation based on Slavic mythology in one of future patches.

I remember hearing there likely would be one? I think there was also some talk of a Finnish-themed nation.

Heh. I just put in a request for info from the military buffs on 13th century slavic armies (I'm better with folklore than military history myself.)

That said, I'd love to see some russians.

I'd like to remember you that I'm researching slavic mythology (what's left of it, anyway... christianity devastated it too much and it's very fragmented. There are no proofs that there was even one slavic mythology, in the sense that it's not consistent enough.)

Have a look here (Dom2 mod forum). I'd like to read your comments.

I have more free time now. All that is left: please motivate me :-).

Just to tie everything together-for the benefit of the off-topic police-how come noone ever suggests an American style nation? Besides purely Native American ofcourse. I'm sure some clever person could come up with a nation based on the early settlers, tall tales, and the mixture of imported and native legends and myths.

We used to have a great early history section in the library of my home town. The stupid so-and-sos replaced it all with romance novels, but there was some fascinating stuff in there. Stories from tribes you've never heard of, stories about faeries in the new world, and devils and witches from the Puritans and others, all sorts of surprising things.

You wouldn't have to use guns, either. There were swords forged right here in the 'States for the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. A man named Nathan Starr is perhaps the most famous American swordsmith, but their were others. We also had the Bowie knife and the steel tomahawk, both American inventions.

Perhaps you have an idea there, HoneyBadger:

An Early Era, totally pre-Columbian North American civilization, a Mid Era, 'we've got horses now' plains civilization, and that sort of 'Last of the Mahicans' combo civilization for Late Age.

Sounds interesting.

TwoBits, Haida Gwai fits the EA civ I think.
