Default Re: Monster SCENARIO Project

Changing the map image as LA Ermor's dominion grows would be fun. For better effect, you'd have to know in which province it is (or check population numbers/income/unrest) but I don't think this info is available, although we can know who Ermor attacked, so you could turn all provinces attacked by Ermor into something ugly...

Unlocking horrors as spell research evolves could be thematic, if random events can be used (like replacing barbarian attacks by horror attacks if someone reached XXX in research).

A simple thing could be blind research, although it could hinder strategy somewhat.
Make many spells impossible to cast until spell research has reached a certain level. That way, the spells wouldn't be documented until someone unlocked the corresponding spell research level. You'd probably know the 9th level spells when someone has researched 4 paths at 7, but it's not much of a problem. This suggestion would only work if the content of the mod isn't known to the players, however, or if the added spells are created randomly (stuff like changing 1 level for fireball, or never allowing a summons spell, or limiting it to a random nation or a nation with the least current number of provinces...).
