Tir na n'Og is not a weak nation, in terms of balance it's in a pretty good place. But the design is showing its age, with a troops roster made up of 2/3rds progressively fancier elven light spearmen, and with the release of Dominions 6 it lost most of its access to air magic in favour of the new glamour path, a change I disagree with.

For one, a nation that draws so heavily on myths of otherworlds and magical travel through hidden paths yet having no access to magical movement rituals short of Faery Trod? That doesn't sound right. For another, Tir na n'Og derives primarily from the Invasion Cycle of Irish mythology, where some of the greatest magical feats accomplished by the Tuatha have to do with storms and mists and, in some manuscripts, flying ships - of all the paths to trade for glamour, air should have been last on the list.

To that end, this mod aims to provide Tir na n'Og with, not buffs exactly, but a bit of a spitshine to bring out their inspirations and make them feel a little less humdrum about which troops to recruit. To wit, an overview of the changes;

– Edited the nation summary and start site, de-emphasising nature in favour of air.
– Altered magic pathing for Sidhe Champions, Bean Sidhe, Sidhe Lords, Ri's, and Tuatha Sorceresses, trading water and nature for air.
– Of particular note, Sidhe Lords now have random paths weighted towards air/glamour, while Ri's have traded N2 for A3, finally carving out a niche for themselves distinct from Tuatha Sorceresses.
– Altered some commander descriptions in light of the above changes. However I've tried to limit this, if I started fixing up dull unit descriptions, I feel like I'd never stop.
– Added three new recruitable units, a fir bolg retinue with heavy (by Tir na n'Og's standards) armour, a lightly armoured (even by Tir na n'Og's standards) sidhe skirmisher with notable damage, and a sidhe charioteer.
– Added Fragarach as a construction 9 artifact, ported from Dominions Enhanced.
– Added a discount to the Flying Ship artifact.
– Added a construction 4 ritual to allow upgrading Sidhe Lords/Ri's from a horse to a fancy chariot.
