New guys look pretty promising. Some kind of paralyzation effect on Muuch guys, and a ton of soul-based magic in Thaumaturgy and Blood, plus a lot of Conjuration.

Is this all of the goon-made nation mods? ---> SA Nation Mods

This reminds me, I've almost finished the second of my three-weird-nations mod "Gemmod".

But just before I was finished I ran into trouble when testing the second nation, MA Akkad: The game crashes and tells me "You must end modding the event before using a #new... or #select command (#newsite "Dead Gate")".

I went through my mod multiple times with the search-function, but as far as I can tell every event ends with #end, like it is supposed to. There are other sites I made like the one causing problems now and they work fine.

This problem may be caused because I wanted to create a site with a spell: I made a global event caused by the site and another event caused by that one. There's also the site of course and a spell meant to create the site when cast.

I used this list of effects to find something allowing me to create a spell to add my site to the province the spell is cast in. According to the list, the numbers 82 and 84 are for province enchantments and I've tried this with both, essentially copying one of my monster summon spells, but instead of summoning a monster using the monster summoning effect, I'm trying to create an enchantment.

How far am I off the mark? Is there a very easy method of adding a self-made magic site with a spell to avoid this mess?

Next step is to combine it with a nationgen unit creator so that provinces are inhabited by hoburg bear cavalry and Abysian druids.

Are just the indie garrisons replaced, or can you recruit the randomed units too?

My experience as Jotunheim in indychaos was trying to expand with vaetti and jotun axemen and getting owned by indies like 3 times. I think I had 8 or 9 provinces well into year 2. My strategy was heavily dependent on getting forests to recruit more vaetti spearmen and mages. Unfortunately, I was next to Asphodel and Xibalba and they had literally all of the nearby forests.

I tried my best to pick up bits and pieces of my neighbors as time went on, but my slow start really hampered my ability to take advantage. TC pushed me out of Asphodel's good poo poo and Ulm took TC's poo poo before I could do anything.

I was able to still get to enchantment/evocation 5 and was summoning my first vampire lord when the game ended; if the thrones weren't broken, I think I could have lasted a good while longer.

My takeaway was to take an awake god as opposed to the dumb bog lich I did take. Also, vaetti don't have frost resistance and get cold in Cold 3.

I think that runs the risk of the map providing too much information.
