Default Tir na n\'Og and Eriu

So, here is a teaser on Tir na n'Og and Eriu

Tir na n'Og is a blessed isle surrounded by wispering mists. It is the home of the Tuatha, a highly magical race descendant from the Nemedians that once warred with the Fomorians. The Tuatha has made themselves lords and masters over the Fir Bolg, a lesser race descendant of the same Nemedian ancestors. With the aid of the Fir Bolg the Tuatha attacked the fomorian giants and almost succeded were the Nemedians failed, but eventually the Fomorians proved too powerful and the Tuatha were driven back to their blessed isle. The Tuatha and their sidhe descendants have turned to crafts, poetry and magical arts, but some have chosen the path of war and have become warriors and generals of great renown. The Fir Bolg, inferior to the Tuatha, buit still far superior to ordinary men, compose much of the population and serve as farmers and lowly warriors.

---

When men came to the land of the Tuatha and the Fir Bolg there was an outdrawn battle wich ended with the defeat and total withdrawal of the Tuatha. The Land of the Ever Young was forever lost to this world and Avalon was taken by the Witches of Man. The Sidhe, descendants of the Tuatha, retreated into strange twilight realms with entrances hidden in ancient mounds. The land of the Fir Bolg was split by the invading forces: Man and their Witches, and the Milesians. The Milesians named their land Eriu. Most of the Eriu population is composed of humans of Milesian ancestry, but a few Fir Bolg still survives in remote villages. With the coming of the new God the Daoine Sidhe have reemerged from their magic mounds to lead the Milesians. Eriu is now a nation of humans and Fir Bolg led by the awakening Sidhe.

Awesome! Can't wait for them.

Kristoffer, both of those descriptions are absolutely crawling with spelling errors. I have fixed them in the quote box below.

When men came to the land of the Tuatha and the Fir Bolg there was a drawn out battle which ended with the defeat and total withdrawal of the Tuatha. The Land of the Ever Young was forever lost to this world and Avalon was taken by the Witches of Man. The Sidhe, descendants of the Tuatha, retreated into strange twilight realms with entrances hidden in ancient mounds. The land of the Fir Bolg was split by the invading forces: Man and their Witches, and the Milesians. The Milesians named their land Eriu. Most of the Eriu population is composed of humans of Milesian ancestry, but a few Fir Bolg still survive in remote villages.

Excellent, so we have 2 new nations? Great can't wait to try them out.

The Daoine Sidhe I assume will have excellent stealth, which is good and national recruitable Fir Bolgs? Great. I wonder if they still have there enchanted spear as a default weapon?

Roll on the next patch...

They're (firbolgs) in Edi's unit database already. Basically really good humans, not supernatural humans.
