New Barbarian Kings mod

[quantum_mechani]

Using forced turmoil and light cavalry, and having neither the military of base T'ien Ch'i, nor the magic of Spring and Autumn, Barbarian Kings has the distinction of being likely the very worst theme.

This mod tries to make the khans and barbarian horsemen more worthwhile, you can download it here (thanks to Zen for the hosting).

I would appreciate any comments.

Hrrmm, this statement intruiges me. I think I go give the theme a spin. I like trying out "underdogs".

I find them one of the best theme ideas, and very fun to play in SP. My mod attempts to make them a serious consideration in MP as well.

My first instinct is to point out Mictan, but you may be right on this one.

Mictlan may not have the best troops, but it is a top notch summons nation. Forced +2 turmoil on the other hand, reduces income by around 50%, and Barbarian Kings has nothing at the moment to remotely make up for it.
