Your Favorite Nation/Theme

Breschau · #1 January 27th, 2004, 12:03 AM

Thematically, I like the idea of sturdy human troops backed up by undead and demons.

So I tend towards
Ermor (I sorta prefer standard, but having the human troops & population makes a lot of death spells hurt as much as they help)
Ulm (Black Forest)
Marignon (Diabolical Faith)

I'd like Abysia but find their recruitable troops lacking in versatility a bit too much.

I also like the idea of Tien Chi but find them so difficult to play compared to the others.

And I like Vanheim (usually taking Helheim, but any of the themes are considered), but I suspect my playstyle doesn't really draw on their strengths so well. I'm not using their mobility or stealth much, besides occasionally their sailing.

(I've only been playing against the AI thus far)

I like Soul Gate Ermor myself. Probably not as effective as AE Ermor for general usage, but I like the concept.

My top 3:

T'ien Ch'i/Spring and Autumn.
Jotunheim/Niefelheim.

Strictly for thematic and "roleplay"/ambiance reasons (I am waayy to much of a newbie to have grasp at the intricate balance of power between nations

) :
- Jotunheim / Utgard
- Vanheim / Midgard
- Marignon / Base

... thus far

Black Forest / Ulm
I just love vampires wolfs and all those other nasty and sturdy units

Marignon / Vanilla
Something hidden in marignon attracts me , can�t say what thou

C�tis / Vanilla
Lizards are cute , and Sauromancers are awesome(+9)

Well I dont want to wright the "exact" wy I like the nations , but that is only because I�m too lazy

Ulm / Iron Faith

I just like the idea of banishing all mages from the game

I'm having fun with my Mictlan AAR, but frankly the only reason I chose Mictlan is their awesome (strategically speaking) starting position in the World War scenario (whereas Ulm's suck big time).

As for second place, I'd say Pythium / Serpent Cult. I love gladiators, and I love hydras, especially blessed ones
