What's your favorite nation and why?

[PvK]

My sentimental favorite is MA Ulm. They're the second nation I played in the original Dominions, and still an SP favorite. I like trying to conquer the world with Ulmish anti-magic philosophy, in a game that is so balanced against their main tactic. Against the AI, it has a decent chance, and provides an interesting thematic handicap.

I also like Ashen Ermor a lot because it transforms the strategy and gameplay so much. That was another thing that hooked me on the original Dominions - that different nations' strategies could be entirely different from each other.

I'm also a fan of most of the others...
