Great mod, a few questions

[Spajjder]

So. I've been playing with hyrule for 50 turns or so.
I wonder about a few things.

All the small factions, ikana, stallfos, wizzrobe, sheikah, huskus, twilight forces.

What do they do? I've never seen Ikana in game, under what conditions do they spawn?
Stallfos and Wizzrobe i've just seen one alone standing unit, do they conquer settlements? The only active such minor faction ive seen is river zoras.

Are the sheikas present?

Where does ancient hylians and twilight forces come into game? Ancient hyllians are in historical battle, but do they show up in the campaign too?

All the monsters/gods I see in the background video in the menu. Are they present in the game?

best

The Wizzrobes are supposed to build churches in Hylian lands to make them rebel (and thus expand their lands), and the Twili are supposed to come into Hyrule from the Twilight Realm via a mirror, however the AI lacks the capacity to do such a thing.
Ikana spawns around turn 40.
The Sheikah are fully in-game and functional (though again they won't switch to Death Stance).
The Ancient Hylians are, well, ANCIENT, and do not exist anymore by the time of the main campaign.

Ikana, Twili are present in factions at start of the game, order of wizzrobe too, is this normal ?

-The Huskus are always in their capital, and from what I have seen never venture outside. They are supposed to be a lesser faction that can eventually through diplomacy be integrated into your faction I believe.

-The Ikana eventually appear around turn 40, but are immediately destroyed by Ordona province so they are never seen. They are designed to be an event based faction like the Mongols or Timurids, but Ordona is currently one of the strongest empires in the game so Ikana usually gets roflstomped.

-The Forces of Twilight never use the mirror to get to hyrule, so if you want to see them you have to play as them. They are supposed to attack Hyrule by using the mirror, but this is again too complicated for the A.I. right now.

-The Sheika are there, but apparently lack any cities. They do have agents though, so it is possible for them to capture a city via subterfuge and go on from there.

-The Stalfos are currently broken, and can't recruit units since they require a city to do so apparently. This is also the case with raising the dead, since the raised units are automatically sent to the nearest city. They are supposed to be able to get a certain number of raised units after every victory using the necromancers, but this doesn't work. Because of this all they do is sit around and do nothing.

-The Ancient Hylians are only in Hyrule Historia as of patch v3.0.1

-I checked out the development thread for the Wizzrobes, and it seems that they do not start out with any towns. The way they work is you build a fort within five tiles of a city and shortly after the town will rebel and can be taken by your forces without any trouble. This is currently too complicated for the A.I. however, and it will just sit their and do nothing.

-Some monster creatures like the Great Deku Tree, Essence of Tarm, and Kind Dododongo are present in the campaign, but most have yet to be added I believe.
