They are so tied to their capital.
Marignon is another candidate, but Astral magic isn't shabby and even if CoC's are expensive, they kick *BLEEP*.

But i must say, in the end, Dominions I had quite good balance between the nations.

Man is not weak. At the beginning, they have Long Bows for expansion. In the mid-game, they have Wrathful Sky/Thunderwarp, Poison Ward/Foul Vapor Combos. In the late game, they have Lamia Queen, Fairy Queen and Couatl to supplement their magic. Who else has such flexibility?

Marignon is not weak neither. Fire and Astral magic are destructive.

The only nation that I found weak in a real game versus human is Ermor.

This isn't about what nation is the weakest or what is the strongest, it's what nation is the weakest from your experience. IMO Man is bound to his capital, Longbows take only so far and even if they have Air mages, you can only produce them in your capital. IMO Marignon has vulnerable(no shields) normal infantry, expensive better(read:with shields) infantry and mages that are snacks to every 4-Astral mage that wanders by.
But its all IMO.
