LA Ardania - The Fantasy Kingdom Nation

Ardania is a mod where the intrusive thoughts won, resulting in the creation a new nation based on Majesty - The Fantasy Kingdom Sim. Game mechanics are loosely translated into Dominions' gameplay, given the extreme differences between the games.

Big thanks to everyone who has ever worked on NationGen[github.com]. Without SpriteGen I would have never been able to hack enough sprites together for this mod.

Basic Paths: F2 A2 W2 E2 S2 D2 N2
Veteran Paths: F3 A3 W3 E3 S3 D3 N3

As the titular nation, Ardania is oriented around its heroes. Even ordinary henchmen and commanders have the opportunity to become powerful through the use of XPshapes. Actual Ardanian heroes provide a wide variety of paths and tools to use, with significantly high HP for use as thugs to simulate going on adventures. The wide spread of deities in Majesty results in a wide spread of paths for the nation, giving Ardania many options to utilize at the expense of crosspaths and high-level magic.

Representing the decisions made in Majesty, certain heroes are made mutually exclusive through the use of sites spawning in through events. These are:
• Dwarves vs Elves
• Priestess of Krypta, Cultists of Fervus and Warriors of Discord vs Healers of Agrela, Monks of Dauros and Ardanian Paladins
• Adepts of Lunord vs Solarii of Helia

Sites can only spawn in fully controlled forts with positive dominion. The chance is dependent on Dominion strength:
• Dwarven Settlements and Elven Bungalows have a 10% chance per white candle.
• Fervus-Krypta and Agrela-Dauros Temple Complexes have a 15% chance per white candle.
• Temples to Lunord and Helia have a 10% chance per white candle, and may only spawn if a temple complex is already present.

More items, summons, spells, pretenders and nations are planned. This is just an initial release while the intrusive thoughts are still present.

Question: Why is X is so powerful/weak?
Answer: I am not a particularly good player and will certainly miss things or misunderstand how they work. Feel free to point them out and I'll try to fix or change them. In some cases I may have set things up in a certain way for a reason, so an alternative will have to be figured out.

Question: Why do so few of the units have proper attack sprites?
Answer: I am not an artist, sprite or otherwise, so making entirely new sprites for attacking is beyond me. I only made the base sprites through the use of recolouring existing sprites and generating new ones with SpriteGen, along with some simple edits.
