This Mod is being released Beta to begin the process of play testing and feedback for improvement. It is a Fantasy based mod that brings more focus on the Religion and Promotion aspects of Civilization 4. Toward that end there are unique religion units, increased XP, unit upgrades that last throughout the entire game (a Scout can be upgraded to a Hunter, then to an Assassin, then to a Shadow). Promotions have had their effect increased and many new promotions have been added. The Tech Tree, Units, Religions, Buildings and Civics have all been rebuilt from the ground up.

Spells have been added to the game including Cure Disease (Removes the Diseased and Plagued negative promotions that spread in the game), Bless (gives the units a moderate strength increase until their next battle), Vialize the land (upgrades the terrain) and the ability to Summon Earth Elementals and Demons.

Enjoy the Mod, it is a work in process but I invite feedback (it is my first Mod of any sort so be gentle) so that I can make it better. Please feel free to respond in this thread or Private PM me on www.civfanitics.com or www.octopusoverlords.com. My name is Kael on both forums.
