I remember that there was an old post in which all submitted their's ideas for mods and i've decided to make a new post like that.
the reason are egoistic. my troll mod was ambitious, too ambitious and i cant finish it as i wanted and so i understand that i'm not a good modder.
but im a good thinker soi decided to give the ideas for some nations, hoping some good modder will take care of them

one of my ideas was that: we have france(ma marignon) spain(la marignon) germay(ulm)england(man) but what nation we miss? italy of course.
maybe they should have good holy(pope hero?) low magic(church's fault as in ulm)gunpowder unit(an,1 hit in 2 turn, low precision,maybe fear).
maybe an hero(michelangelo) that spawn stone units or a leonardo da vinci spawning mechanical units.
for me they shuld have a steam-punk flavour.
of course a pizza-monster too f/n lv 9 of construction.
and some very good units that may be used only in sea(venice dominion in mediterrean sea since the discovery of america)

I had an idea a while back for an underwater fire nation. Basically it would revolve around what amounts to sentient tube worms, like the ones that chill underwater around deep sea volcanic vents. They'd be sacred, comparatively cheap, and crazy powerful fire/water mages but they'd be aquatic and immobile. To round them out they'd be supported by their worshipers, sentient (but dumb) eel creatures (based on a real life pacific volcano known as "eel city" in which tons of eels hang out way deeper than they should be) that use their earth magic as an act of worship, to delve for new volcanic vents and allow new colonies of worms to establish themselves. Toss in a few deep sea creatures as summons and I think it'd be a pretty interesting nation. Shame I'm busy, haven't got the focus to mod, and haven't got the artistic ability to make sprites.

Ultimately I thought it'd be kind of awesome to make a nation that, once it'd solved the problem of surfacing, could just hose the battlefield down with acid and lava. Also I thought it'd be sort of nice to see an underwater nation that wasn't either an astral/water or nature/water combo, and didn't use the stereotypical "ice blast" powers in battle with their water mages.

and what about a pirate's nation?
good light infatry and no heavy one;good pillager and create unrest in enemy dominions.
as hero:sandokan,long john silver,cpt sparrow and cpt hook(only 1 hand slot,use his hook).
a national spell "yarr" that made you commander spawn pirate based on their xp,with a bonus if hof.
maybe a better version of ghost armada

Ermor is Italy. It's time period is just a bit out of synch with the others.

Re: brainstorm *DELETED*

Marignon seems to be more closely with Spain than France. Inquisition bored in Spain and the inquisitor hero has a Spain name.

I think you got the wrong thread PvK. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Tyrian - I agree, although I think Marignon is named after somewhere in France.

Yep, thanks Llamabeast. I had two Shrapnel Forum windows open.

ermor is roman-italy i was talkin about 14-15 century italy

How about just Sicily, for a nation mod base?

Perhaps a Late Age sea-faring nation that was part of Ermor, but successfully rebelled against them, and-led by Strega witches-and having invented the Pavise/Arbelast combination, driving out most of the Undead. They could have some giant Orco (Italian ogre, or the name of an Italian river) warrior monk units that use holy magic, and song magic (Opera, anyone?).

this is gonna be a great italo-american mod: opera,pizza(pizza monster summon),pope,mob(fat tony hero please) and mandolino.
anyone offering for this?

as i said in an other post, i like steam-punk sohy we dont find good ideas for a steam-punk mod so i can be happy?
-reinassement europe?
-maybe a grup of monkey from lanka messed with blood/astral magic and they a vision of monkey power, so they start to build a new nation?(inspired from planet of apes)
-some ulmish priest that tried to find another way over magic but go too far?
-a nation of ultra-smart chinchillas ?(i swer my chinchilla is able to use a piece of wood agaist my dog)(maybe this is too crazy but just see this unending horde of small furry hoplites not strong but quickly,smart and funny armed with wood and iron)

pretty nice ideas yet too much for a single mod.
it would be better to create each nation with help of different people and then combine them in a single mod.

ps ea Ermor=ma Rome

new mod idea: dragon ball
with sayans as elite,namecc population as mid unit and human chaff
of course goku hero immortal with 20+ everywhere and a kamehamea attack.
they should be very gold expensive but poor resource
