This sounds really excellent, Dr Praetorious-especially since I'm a big fan of the Dark Crystal. I look forward to playing with these Nations.

Looks like some Eaters of the Lotus action with MA Wu-Shan! I love the idea, Chinese style Wuxia epics deserve a place in Dominions.

I have a guilty desire to see a mod based (atleast a little bit) on Big Trouble In Little China

No, not oil! The black blood of the earth!

It takes a misc slot, it gives you +15 hit points, +5 strength, +2 attack and defense, and +10 morale.

It costs EEEEES and construction 6.

And, of course, late era wu-shan can summon "storm warriors", who have those cool straw peasant hats and are armed with lightning fists..... or, if we get the ability to add unique summons of our own, there would be three of them - thunder, lightning and rain.

Default This elevator only goes down.

"These Chinese symbols, they're numbers, counting backwards." "Not backwards...downwards!"

"I am the past that haunts you, Lo-Pan!"
wu-shan sorcerors have extremely long life-spans

How about a 6 demon bag?
"it's full of wind, fire...all that stuff"

"I don't wanna have to kill you, tough guy."
How about a unit that can change shape-from an ordinary human into an enormous trampler, when they're badly injured, like Rain when he blows up?

"Us Chinese have a lot of hells."
Blood summons-demon from the hell of being cut to pieces, demon from the hell of the upside-down sinners, demon from the hell of being boiled alive.

And ofcourse, Pretender type: Chin'Dai, god of the east!

Default We Demand More Hells!!! Part Deux:

Ok, upon researching a bit, I've discovered that the actual "Chinese Hells" mentioned in the movie are
as follows:

The Hell of Being Cut to Pieces
The Hell of Boiling Oil
The Hell of the Upside Down Sinners
The Hell of the Vast Cold (in deleted scene)
The Hell Where People are Skinned Alive
The Hell of the Oily Dragon

...Indeed!

Default Re: We Demand More Hells!!! Part Deux:

Those are good, I was going to go the Shadowfist route and have -

Demon of Corrupted Land (nature)
Demon of Corrupted Mountains (earth)
Demon of Corrupted Thunder (air)
Demon of Corrupted Winds (air)
Demon of Corrupted Waters (water)
Demon of Corrupted Fires (fire)

plus...
Demon of Corrupted Marsh (death)
Demon of Corrupted Heaven (astral)

which you'd need to take blood/X on your god in order to summon. The Demon of Corrupted Heaven is furthermore sacred.

But, hey - more demons = more fun.

The 6 demon bag should probably be unique, and it should probably cast no less than six elemental damaging spells?

Possibly a bonus to all elemental magic, instead. We'll see what item modding lets us do, when it comes out.
