MA Abysia for me. First i prefer having just enough tools than having a (a confusing) plethora of them and this nation has it in small magic and troop diversity. I also like their four magic path, especially blood magic and the horror summoning capability, and also the sheer power in their "I came, I saw, I set u on fire" approach. And I find enjoyment in the challenge to work with this few options. EDM 1.1 with zmeys and ember lords plays no small part in my preference of this nation.

Their theme catches me: the declining, small empire of masters of fire and evil warlocks with their experiments, enslaving the neighboring human provinces, sacrificing their inhabitants but still cant avoid their destiny to be extinct eventually (like a greek tragedy).

And perhaps the main reason: about 90% of my RPG characters were some kind of evil mages - some of them outright warlocks - so it was kinda natural for me to pair up with the masters of the abysian empire.
