Arga Dis: They will have dominion spread and temples will work in the normal way. Their priests just won't be able to preach. They won't be able to make blood sacrifices. You can quite easily make units fight on after they're dead - you just give them a temporary second form when they 'die' like the lobster rider, wolf rider,.. only you make sure the second form has the same name, uses the same graphic (or a copy, bloodied up) and has similar abilities. This way you can win a battle but have half your guys drop dead afterwards. I said in another thread that I was going to make a nation within similar themes to 300, but there's no direct link.

Empire: I suppose they're a bit bland and standard 'evil empire'-esque, but they do have their own nifty graphics and they're obviously fun for Exile fans or people who play Avernum. I'll use my imagination to spice them up a bit (like Avernum).

Anglia: If you read some Cavalier poetry you'll see plenty of links between England and a mythologised classical world. This isn't a historically accurate civil war military nation; it's firmly based on the literature. In the Anglia backstory they have magical wine which powers their poets, transforms people into satyrs and so on. The Parling make for more reliable, cheaper and heavier troops though (New Model Army).

Broken Swords: The severed heads and zombie women will be summoned somehow. Possibly call allies, possibly a cheap spell, possibly a battle only summon. Not sure yet. Everything else (including humanoid demons) will be recruitable, like Lanka.

I'll see if anyone has more comments. I don't mind which order I make these in, since I plan on making them all for sure eventually. It's up to you guys.
