One nation i can see doing well here is ctis(probably LA) due to their powerful sauromancers. They have strong access to death aswell as good astral/nature(national summons ftw ) and fire in LA. With a pretender to cover the paths they dont have and maybe forge boosters i can see them being a very powerful force(i wonder what happens if all squares on the battlefield are full and you try to cast raise skeletons... )

Im hoping that the grizzled old veterans will leave the proving of their pet peeves to the younger set. Aftr all, if its a major abuse then anyone should be able to do it.

For them, Im offering abit of a challenge. I will include the empty and unfinished nations.
They can take:
13) Tir na n'Og - Land of the Tuatha
14) Fomoria -
20) early Gath - Time of Nefilim
45) mid Gath - Anakim
65) late Gath - xxx
69) Filler 69 - Veteran or Freebie
70) Filler 70 - Veteran or Freebie
71) Filler 71 - Veteran or Freebie
72) Filler 72 - Veteran or Freebie
73) Filler 73 - Veteran or Freebie
74) Filler 74 - Veteran or Freebie
75) Filler 75 - Veteran or Freebie
76) Filler 76 - Veteran or Freebie
77) Filler 77 - Veteran or Freebie
78) Filler 78 - Veteran or Freebie
79) Filler 79 - Veteran or Freebie

Since these are holding slots they would be very difficult to play. A bare list of gods, a generic starting army, no national sites, no national units.

Im still considering two things about the game. Whether to turn AI on for all unchosen nations. And whether to allow veterans to send a name and epithet change for their choices.

I think a veteran might make a good match of it starting out as limited as a filler slot.

Just put the Ai on mighty for all the races not being played by humans. That would allow someone that gets killed off to take over a computer race.

Okay I'll bite, how do you turn an AI position back to human control? I thought this was impossible.

I thought people might be interested in this from my latest test. I created an all_nations game and then let it run mindlessly with continual forced hosting.
Its down to 8 nations
