Mod: Themiskyra: Amazon Queens v1.35

[Gregstrom]

[Here's an old mod with a chequered past. Peter von Kleinsmit first coded it, back in the days of Dom2. It was brought to Dom3 by Frank Trollman, and very nearly disappeared completely. By chance I stumbled across a version of the mod in a forgotten corner of the forums, and I liked the concept so much I decided to resurrect it. I have made some changes already for better MP balance, but I believe it needs more work.


Themiskyra: Amazon Queens

After the fall of Sauromatia to the empire of Ermor, the Amazonian tribes withdrew from the world for an age. With the decline of Ermor, they return to the world of men to conquer it. Building their capital in the shadow of an ancient, slumbering dragon, the amazons have outfitted themselves in the skins of dragons of ancient times and made pacts with the followers of dead gods.

Strengths: Good sacreds, composite bows and access to every magic path. You have some good national spells and summons.

Weaknesses: Getting more than one level in any magic path is a rare event, you have weak research, sacreds are cap-only and you pay an extortionate amount for castles.

As things stand, I think Themiskyra can make a good stab at the early game but becomes very vulnerable after that.

If anyone wants to playtest them and give some balancing ideas, I'd very much appreciate it.

v1.35 changes:
Crystal Priestess/Sorceress given composite bows.
Rite of Exposed Children cost fixed.
