Hmm I'm checking this nation out since you said it might be usefull for dominions 3000

I've played a few turns and I'm wondering about a few things
you need to seduce mages to cast spells but mostly you'll just have your troops and free spawn. Most nations get more powerfull later in an age due to magic. For this nation that is much less the case so I wonder what the way is to balance this nation for end game.. is it purely the fact you'll be flooding the enemy with immortal flying free-spawns or am I missing something.

The graphics are lovely but I'd need to replace all basic swordsmen and horsemen of course. I see the ka units as units that won't need to shapeshift in space and I love the immense range they can move (but basicly limited by your dominion spread or they will die)
I wonder if this nation really needs the basic recruitables since I love the freespawn

are the human sized ka warriors and leader etc also wearing armor or are they possesing humans or are only the recruitable possesed warrior taking over human bodies? (and why do they do that btw they are much nicer as immortals )

I also think they don't need ranged weapons (or guns at least) for them selves.. they ka units seem to be useable as they are.

I'm gonna try to get earth magic to cast those summons and see about those. I'm not quite sure how that fits in thematically though atm

There is a bug(?) in Dominions that kills deceased immortals permanently. The Travelers cant stay in this dimension for long (have very low max age) so they become deceased quite quickly and die. It doesn't matter if they do so in a friendly dominion or not, they do not come back from that. They need the human bodies and the armor to survive.

Everyone plays differently. I see armies of armor flying around, crushing everything.

Amos, I was just curious as to why you never post images of your work, online in the threads? You do beautiful artwork, and very distinctive, but to see it, one has to download the mod, which isn't always the most convenient thing to do-and must certainly reduce the amount of people who actually *do* download your mods, since they're unable to appreciate beforehand, how visually special they are.

I used to upload some of the images. But after a while I stop liking them or change them completely. And the old ones are still there, like an inconvenient evidence .
