YORUBAS
Olorun - God of the Sky and Heavens
Yemoja - Goddess of Creation and Water
Eshu - God of Trickery, Crossroads, and Chaos
Orunmila - God of Wisdom and Destiny
Shango - God of Thunder, Lightning, Fire, and Power
Oya - Goddess of Wind, Storms, and Transformation
Yoruba Bestiary:
- Abiku - These are spirits of children who have died a premature death. They often reside in trees and can murder people. Because it is rare for these spirits to reach adulthood, perhaps the devs could make the Abiku’s upgrade symbolize reaching adulthood.
- Aje - These are “witches” that can play both sides, good or evil. They can promote or impair one’s fortunes.
- Ajogun - Evil and enigmatic spirits that wage war against humanity and ultimately the Orishas. I would probably consider these to be mythic age units considering how powerful they are.
- Eboras - Similar to trolls, these spirits dwell in the swamp or forest and can be evil. Some of these Eboras have multiple heads.
- Egbere - Spirits who constantly mourn and sob and live in the woods. They can be malevolent, short-statured, and carry mats. Their mats contain hidden riches, and whoever takes one will become unimaginably wealthy.
- Egungun - Ancestral spirits or watchers that have risen from the dead. They can be summoned in time of need.
- Emere - Usually females. They are children who are spirits in disguise but are misunderstood. They want what is best for heaven and earth. I can see them as support units.
- Eseku - Somewhat similar to the Egbere but are hairy instead. It is said that they can kill someone by running through their legs and are fast enough to evade bullets. They can duplicate when taken damage.
- Iwin - They are mysterious forest spirits or fairies that may help or trick people. Former is more likely as they seek those who are worthy enough for them to serve. They also help in preparing ritual medicine. Possibly healer units in AoM?
- Kpelekpe - Kind of like werewolves / lycans but instead of being half wolves they are half hyenas. They are known to call out to humans and eat them once they have been gone into the dark forests.
- Ogun Oru - Sinister female demons who can assault their victims physically and psychologically. The attacks usually come during night time when the victims are asleep.
Titan:
Iroko Okunrin - A monstrous, titan-sized, terrifying “man” who lives atop the Iroko tree. His arms are so long that they form the throne of heaven, and he comes down at night. Anyone who gazes at him will be immediately driven to madness and, eventually, death. Anyone who cuts down the Iroko tree would be given years of bad fortune. (I think it would be a cool god spell if the Yoruba player could cast this tree curse on enemy trees. If the villagers cut down trees in a cursed area, the resources they “obtain” are siphoned to the Yoruba player, and the enemy player’s resource-gathering speed is slowed to the point where it becomes nearly impossible to tell if their trees were cursed in the first place).
Let me know if I need to change anything.
That’s indeed better, but could you tell me where you found the info on Iroko Okunrin? And wouldn’t a giant of that size just collapse the tree by being on top of it 
?
