#modname "The Kami" #domversion 2.08 #description "A mod changing the nation of Vanheim into a collection of creatures based on Japanese Myth. Usually these creatures (kami, or spirit creatures) were the teachers and/or enemies of the samurai heroes. Kami in Japanese lore range between all living things to ghosts, inanimate objects and the dead. Sometimes kami do good deeds in the world, and sometimes they wreck havoc. Kami have supernatural powers; but they also have the magical ability to affect natural phenomena. According to Japanese belief, some kami are the root of all disasters, both natural and man-made. Japanese kami are not altogether evil but are tricksters and enjoy playing practical jokes. In the Edo period performers began to depict the kami with humour, especially in Netsuke figures. This was a way in which the people equated the kami with the upper classes; also this was a way to mock the heavy-handed feudal rule. Design of this mod took into account the possible use of this mod as the primary opponent to the Ashikaga mod. Thanks to 'The Potatoman' for creation of the Ashikaga mod." #icon "./kami/kamilogo.tga" #version 1.1 "Mod created by 1000yd_stare for use in the public domain.
