Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
I understand the thinking, but it is flawed.
MA Ulm is not actually that bad - it takes a while to get going, but magma eruption is *an* answer to *everything*.
Likewise MA Agartha - once you can actually summon the marble oracles, giving them Ulm-forged cheap equipment makes them formidable indeed.
The point is, team games tend to blunt the disadvantages of weak nations, because weak nations are mostly weak *early on*.
There are some reasonably strong nations (Machaka and Marignon, for example) which are weak in team games because they just don't contribute that much.
