it makes me happy to see Argatha so well liked. They are one of my favorite too. Everything just comes together so beautifully in that nation.

I'm surprised to see LA Atlantis so popular. I'd always felt they were one of the more lackluster nations; both thematically and substantively. They have a good backstory, but I just don't feel it portrayed well in the troops and summons. There is something just missing with that nation, it isn't quite there for me. And their substantive ability, doesn't feel on par with some other nations; maybe its just me.

KO is playing LA Atlantis in an MP game at the moment and as nations he plays get usually buffed you might see some signigicant changes to Atlantis soon

It's great to see that we're all over to map, so to speak, without any clear favorite. Speaks volumes for the developers skill at balancing the nations against each other.

Perhaps Illwinter ought to branch out into consulting? I've encountered a few other strategy game developers that could use some advice on what "balanced" means.

Then again maybe not. I imagine that developers are pretty protective about their own games.

That's funny...not one vote for Vanhiem in any age. Where'd all the "Vans are overpowered" guys go? I think I'll play them next...

My votes went for:
LA Caelum. I'm really into the raiding thing and this nation fits perfectly in that respect.

MA Pythium. For me this nation represents raw power. Ever expanding ,unstoppable, war machine and astral dominance. I love the historic connotations as well.

EA Pangaea, did I mention I like raiding?

In truth there's not even one single nation I don't like to play, just as well I'll mention my runner ups for these top three, LA Ctis, MA R'lyeh and Jotunheim.

I think people are voting for the nations they enjoy playing the most, not the ones they think are most powerful. Only sometimes are those nations the same.

I voted EA C'tis, MA Mictlan, LA Rlyeh. Van is my second choice in MA.

Don't be so sure of that. LA Atlantis is both fun and powerful and splendid and undefeatable and Inuit and cute. Thus no changes are needed They are already way too powerful.

They even smote the Abysian god mute, but you already know that

LA R'lyeh is highly entertaining for those of us who like bringing randomness and insanity into the world.
