Placeholder for atleast one EA nation, quite possibly two, based specifically on Scottish/Welsh and German folklore, and general faerie elements. I won't get around to finishing this one for a while-and I'll finish Aksum as much as I can, before I start on it-but I definitely am going to work on it-to keep myself from getting burned out on Africa.
Like the rest of my nations, Aksum aside, it's free for taking over, or just helping with, if anyone's interested.
A couple thoughts on units:
Seelie Court.
1 Fireflower Bush: This is a size 4 immobile, no teleport, thorny bush cheap summons AND capital only unit with spiked armour and the ability to do weak poison. It'll function as a PD-booster, and as a factory unit. It'll produce fire sprite archers (1 Hp, Bows do 1 point Fire Dmg, Sacred, Combat only).
2 Great Yew: Size 6 move 1 summon-sacred tree that can attack with it's branches.
Again, functions as a factory unit, but it produces sacred dragonfly knights (1 hp, 1 dmg magical weapon, 1st strike, flying, secondform: non-sacred dragonfly) in combat only.
