Best Roleplay nation

[13lackGu4rd]

what exactly is the point of this thread...? what are you trying to say...?

the title suggests you ask about the best nation to role play with, which is a stupid question Imho as role playing is not nation dependent at all... but than you start rambling on about Eagle Kings, what do they have to do with anything...?

Well mate, I thought I'd say that I find the fantasy aspect of the game to be great food for the imagination. I was looking to hear if others have nations that get their right-side brain neurons firing.

For example for me Marverni seems as shiny to my imagination as a black matt wall on a dark night. Abysia however burns as bright in my mind as the Smoldercone erupting.

Thats my point dude.

I think Bandar Log is pretty characterful. Monkey Yogas blowing away enemies with their minds. Huge apes with clubs throwing rocks. Monkey tiger riders launching heroic charges. Sacred spirits occasionally enlisting in the simian army and gracefully slaughtering it's enemies. Also, Lanka, though I have only played it single player, feels like an appropriately dark and oppressive demon realm.

Pangea, also feels very themed, though EA Pangea's lack of magic diversity makes it seem kind of weak to me. I think to a large degree the best roleplay nation depends on the user and what they like to imagine.

The problem with monkeys is all the poo flinging. However, Strength of Giants and Wind Guide help a lot in effective poo tactics.

Heh. So I keep wishing I had time to write a guide to Kailasa, about how to play Kailasa with a Tien Chi sort of twist. The image I have is an exile on the run from the losing side of some political intrigue in the Celestial City, ends up in the jungle. King Louie (from Disney's The Jungle Book) is lounging on the throne, and wants to know why they shouldn't just stone him to death on the spot. The Celestial promises to teach the Kailasa actual tactics and strategy, and rises to be the power behind the throne.

Sadly I don't have the talent to write in-character AARs or guides, or the time to do it even if I did.
