Re: Which nations need help?
Uhm, why did you leave LA Ulm out from that list?

Re: Which nations need help?
LA Ulm has a very strong sacred unit.
LA Ulm has a wealth of national spells - including, for example, a national spell that lets you trade blood slaves for blood hunters. The count has become an utterly inferior thug, but it still worth it as a blood hunter.
They also get a unit-hordeing unit out of their capital.
I agree that LA Ulm is not an overwhelmingly strong position, but with their diversity of stuff they are perfectly competitive. Also, LA nations are generally not that fancy - seldom better than 2 picks in anything.

Re: Which nations need help?
EA Ermor bad? has good melee troops for the early game access to a wide variety of magic and has a semi decent sacred. weaker than MA/LA maybe and not in the same class as the heims in EA certainly but to my mind one of the better nations to choose

Re: Which nations need help?
EA Ermor is certainly stronger than the other "weak" nations.

Also, Augur Elders are recruitable anywhere. I haven't played EA Ermor yet--they're on my list to try out--but that's a pretty decent-looking battlemage, amassable in large quantities, with access to Nether Darts and Pillar of Fire.

Re: Which nations need help?
EA Ermor has many advantages - but none zip zilch national spells.
As a pythium clone it's a powerful position - except for the lack of air magic.
Otherwise, as a sacred rusher or the like, it's just kinda inferior. So I gave them some powerful sacred summons (the Angels) and I think that covers that nicely.
