Default Re: Nations with weakest troops

Bogarus is Marignon on suck. Everyone sees the nice big RP number on the starets and forgets to actually calculate their gold/RP ratio, which is actually worse than a lot of other nations. True, they have a good shot at getting to one of the level 8 research milestones first if no one is bothering them, but invariably after that when I've seen them in a game they're overtaken in research because their upkeep starts getting prohibitive, and it's nigh-impossible to win an early war with them so they can expand enough to keep the gold flowing. At that point the only thing they have going for them is some CR and nether darts on their occultists.

I'd still say that you overemphasize weaknesses of Bogarus. While their infantry IS bad and sacreds are worse, cavalry can actually hold their own. As for late game - they have good enough unique summons.
I also see that the idea of Patala as the worst-troops nation have been deservefly buried. As for EA Agartha - their Troglodites are excellent rushers in their own right, needing less support than Elephants do.
