One things that is also worrying me is that the Late era which was labeled as an era of advanced units and low magic slowly seems more and more like era of Death...

- Ashen Ermor
- Cthonic Dead of Agarta - whatever it is it doesn't sound promising
- Carrion Pangaea(?)
- Black Forest Ulm (?)

Now, I could be horribly wrong but this is quite worrying, mostly because having a pile of nations with death dominion and pile of nations relying on units is guaranteed to cause hair-tearing fury...

If dom2 is anything to go by, the 'advanced unit/low magic' thing isn't set in stone. After all, base Man is probably more magically powerful than Tuatha. Similarly, Niefelheim is magically weaker than the later Jotun themes.

Perhaps the main difference is in the specialisation of units. Early game commanders are likely to be warrior/mage/priest combinations, whilst the late game will have specialised leaders.
