Man MA temple cost raised to full?

There are no "elves" per se in Dominions... but EA Man, a nation still in the works, will be a nation of Tuatha. DomII incarnation of the Tuatha had them be Air/Nature mages (instead of Nature/Air of regular Man) with glamour and stealth, but inferior bronze weapons.

Maybe they could summon tuathian warriors. There has to be a more theme based summon than death summons.

The nation of Tir na n'Og has a reserved slot in the game (nation 13) which can be seen in some units and in game logs. Using Tuatha to pad Man is probably only something to consider as a mod we cold play around with until Kristoffer finishes that nation.

So what would be your concepts of generic Man? If you take out Ulm, and Marignon, and Amazons, and Barbarians... what is generic Man?

I rather like the Avalon theme it has.
Can we come up with an Avalon boost?

Fomoria and Tir na n'Og were the two nations that lived in the land before the age of men. The lore of the Tuatha had much more influence on Man than the Fomorians, but some of the magic of the giants can still be found in the realm.

The death summons are just residual knowledge from the Fomorian lore. The Fomorians used death magic before men came to the land. ME Man rarely use it, but some judges of LE Man might.

Can't wait for the new nations

i like the Avalon theme, as that has a strong base in lore, but the death magic national summons seem misplaced for them for the reasons stated.

As for balance, Man is fine. Especially if the temples are fixed.

I would like to see the Lord of the Forest get something unique. Maybe a longbow of accuracy, a thunder bow, or an ability where animals will not attack him.

There should be a hero named Merlin, however!

Actually a cool ability that would not be overpowered would be animal charm as an innate ability for the lord of the forest. Since he is the Lord of the Forest, some sort of animal mastery would be cool. Since few nations rely a lot on animals, it would not be overpowered in any way.
