When you get Dom II the first nation you will play will be ...

[Aetius]

Keeping with prior form Marignon http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif . If I have any disappointment with Dom II, it is that to the best of knowledge, Marignon did not get any new pretenders. I have never been a big fan of the Baphomet pretender.

[Gandalf Parker]

My first will be Pangaea. Im eager to see what they have done there. Then I will play Man.

Then I will go searching thru all of them to see where my favorite pretender the "Lord of Night" went to.

I've faced a pretty numerous and strong native Pangaea army from default theme, and they look great.

I think I'll finish the demo games I started first. Some of them just started to get exciting. If not, I'll probably play Tien Chi or R'lyeh. I'm interested in all the celestial/void summons that you can get.

[Graeme Dice]

Ermor for me. I want to see how it's been changed from Dom 1.

[mjlaufgr]

Tien Chi. Awwwz yeah.

[Vodalian]

Caelum

[tka]

Ermor, Tien Chi

[LordArioch]

Tien Chi, Mictian, Caelum, Ermor, Pangea, Vanheim, Man...
I'm not going to be able to finish a game with one until I see all the others, I'm just weak-willed like that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Humer]

R'lyeh. The Void Gate sounds mind-shattering cool. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Othernesses, Tartarian guys...

BTW, Baphomet has now permanent Fire Shield, causing 24 AP fire damage... (from All-units save game, VERY interesting read)

[Joonie73]

Jotunheim. I like uncomplicated, powerful units http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Shael]

abyssia
my favorite choise since day 1 with dom1

[WraithLord]

Pythium.
I would like to test their prowess.
In DOM-I they were awesome.

[Sammual]

Ermor and then Jotunheim.

I want to see how hordes of Undead work and then how Small Groups of second class SC work.

Sammual

[iRichard]

Pangea, tien-chi, mictlan

what about a poll ?

I'll be torn between Marginon and Man, but I'll probably go with Marginon. Though C'tis is high on the list, but since I've already hashed them out in the demo I'm not as likely to pick them up for SP games right away http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I'll have to check that out. I would have guessed 12 (but fire magic is added of course).

*Edit: checked - 12 ok *

When the full game arrives, I'll be as swamped as I was by DomI... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Honestly - with just 7 nations in the demo, I haven't even tried them all; I've mostly spent time with Arcoscephale, Jotunheim and Ulm, almost always with big Bless effects and small cadres of elite, blessed troops leading the attacks. When I suddenly have 17 different nations to choose from, plus no turn limit and no research limit, I'll just die...

[Mind Elemental]

Pythium or T'ien Chi.

[st.patrik]

Man, then Pangaea - the 'new era' theme attracts me very strongly.

when I created this thread http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Nerfix]

R'lyeh
Iä Iä...

Pangaea
I'll just have to test Pangy with Restless Worshippers...

Gandalf, Lord of Nigth went to Mictlan

I think I'll finish the Ulm and Arco games I started in the demo, and then maybe do something I haven't tried yet, like Ermor. Or, try the one I lost my first Doms game with: Man.

[Bossemanden]

I have something like 20 games from the demo that wants to be finished. When they are done? Probably one of the non-playable races from the demo.
