Gath (and nation numbers)

Gath is a planned nation that might appear in a patch.

But what is Gath about?

Goliath of Gath

Hmmm, that is interesting.

Kristoffer O · #5 October 29th, 2006, 03:46 PM

Anakim and other giants

Nerfix · #6 October 29th, 2006, 03:48 PM

Ah, so it's Nephilim.

Oh. For a moment I thought it would be something arabic. There's enough flavour and information for an arabic nation, I assume ? Djinni, Efreeti, Dao, Marid, Ghoul (shapefhifting demon hunting lone travelers !!!1) and more.

Slightly related: I got an idea for another new nation. The pagan/slavic mod I'm planning may end up too generic without influx of fresh ideas. I'm especially afraid that it would play/look too similar to Marveni, Vanheim, or Man, for some reasons.

New nation I'm thinking about would be... 100% nomadic. Crappy capitol with poor castle. Very poor capitol magic sites. No capitol only units. Poor forts (cheap fortified camps). Lack of initial magic sites compensated by versatile site searchers. Many units with *survival, pillage bonus, stealth. No immobile pretenders available, not even fountains.
