See. And they worship the yellow goddess (minor color difference) and get power from her orb in the sky. Maybe they do mean the sun when it's setting, which could be red, so we're clear there.

So we're finally all agreed here, the Lunars are most similar to the British in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. In the latter part they've both got a great goddess they worship. They both have been conquering more places than anyone else. Similar military, alot more similar than Lunars and Romans. Same taste and even same accent!

No what!? But what's this thing I got in the last raid then?
