Why do you have to find an evil theme for Mictlan? Mictlan are as have been said before pseudo-aztec. To my knowledge there is no cult in the history of the world as bloody as the aztec state cult. Most people would consider daily sacrifices and sacrificial ceremonies were thousands of people were brutally murdered by having their hearts cut from thier chests evil. If you feel the need to invent an evil theme for this nation you scare me

Feel free to be scared, but yes, i intend to find an evil theme for Mictlan. Mind you, Aztecs treated the willing sacrifices very well, infact one of my history books said that they treated the young men they sacrificed "like gods". As for the prisoners-of-war, many cultures killed as many slaves with diseases and starvation. Getting your heart cut is IMO mercifull compared to years of suffering as a slave before you die either because of disease or because of starvation.
That is what i know, you are a teacher, i am a school student, if you konw better, then please correct me.

And the sacrifices weren't daily if i remember corectly. Also, if you want a long, long post i can actualy explain why i want an evil theme for Mictlan...

Also, what are "divine titles"? You know you can't escape "Eyes of the Lurker"...
2003-09-24
* New Windows sound setting, dsound or waveout sound driver.
* Easier to get your full allowance of divine titles.
* More divine titles and fixes to some existing ones.
* See divine title on unit info screen.

2003-09-23
* Maps are now stored in a seperate folder.
* AI gets divine titles too.

I wasnt, you won't get a mention. There are no characters in the game named after friends, relatives or associates. I think it is better to keep it that way.

I wont they thats the features are fun or cool, thats too horrible to envision ... would Belphegor accept the souls of chickens and pigs instead?
