There's a fair bit of 300 in there.
Well 300 is really just idealized spartan history. Giving your mod the theme of old sparta drenched in blood is pretty cool. I actually didn't think of 300 when I was playing with the mod - I thought you just took the militaristic spartan history to it's logical conclusion (blood magic).

And I agree with DrP... re-imagining ancient historical cultures/nations with magic fantastical themes can still produce very original mods(depending on how it is done) - but I would rather not play a "version" (however cool) of an already existing dom3 nation.

The Tombkings mod was very well done as well. Since it is quite different than the fantasy world is it derived from have you (llama) ever thought of completely separating it and making it almost wholly original? The way you talked it doesn't sound like it would be that hard...
