Then Delta has goofed up and uploaded the wrong mod, for I downloaded the .dm he provided and double checked to see if I needed to change the unit IDs around before, so that everybody could just copy it and paste it easily into their file. If he uploads the mod we're definitely using for the game I'll edit my post as needed.

The one he uploaded is "Rune-Covered Circle" - it's not just the unit IDs, it's also the mod folder name for graphics. Here's your unit text pasted into the uploaded .dm:

Oh, right. I forgot to change the sprite locations, didn't I? Yeah, I'll change that ASAP. But other than that the text you just posted is almost identical to what I did. The unit IDs are the same in both versions. It's only the sprites that needed to be changed.

EDIT: I also cleaned up the descriptions and names for the units too, because I smart. Yeah, sorry about all of that.

You also might wanna remove the line breaks inside the descriptions; they make them kinda hard to read in the game.

Welp, I just submitted my pretender and it seems to have been accepted. Fingers crossed that everything turns out okay.

I've sent in Aimur, the pretender of Lissasa.

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

I'll have my pretender in this evening, once I'm actually on a computer with Dominions 4.  My apologies for the delay.

Hmm... can someone help me understand the Ghost King's ghost summoning? If I understand it right, he has "domsummon" which summons "a dominion strength sided open ended die roll" of ghosts each turn. My understanding is that if my max dominion strength is 8 and I have 8 candles in the province my pretender is in, I should be summoning at least 1 to 8 ghosts a turn, right? With potential for like 54 ghosts if I got ridiculously lucky with the open ended die roll? I ask because it seems like I have a chance to

Welp. I googled harder and found that they seem to actually have domsummon20, not domsummon, so he gets 1/20 the number of ghosts I expected. That's about right. Ohhhh well, makes more sense now. I'll have my pretender in in a few minutes, still trying to make a decision on chassis.

Edit: And Matieu is submitted, representing glorious Unexpected Nation uhh... 7 maybe?

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

Ping, and Earendel is the last to join the game, fashionably late. 
...
Now I kinda make a stylish lich in a game, so I can be fashionably late while being late fashionably. 

EDIT: Ummm, downloaded the turn file, placed it in an appropriate save directory, but my nation doesn't seem to be appearing.  Did I flub something up?

EDIT 2: No wait, there it goes.  I'll give it a gander and post up my Turn 1 impressions. ^_^
