I know your views on LA R'lyeh and Ermor, hence I said "to a lesser extent" because while you and some others don't view them as OP, they're still banned from the majority of MP games. it certainly has something to do with their destructive dominion effect but than MA C'tis' Miasma is also a similar effect, and nobody seems to have a problem with MA C'tis. therefore I don't warrant a large change needed there, but at least something... for R'lyeh 1 good move would be to delete the aquatic spawns that are just so trouble some and choke your upkeep without a good way to get rid of them. yes, that's a buff if you were wondering, cause yes, LA R'lyeh's micromanagement hell is even worse than LA Ermor's, and that says a lot...

well, don't have that much experience with TNN or LA Man but it just seems like they aren't nations that are usually doing well in MPs, at least those that I've seen around here. for EA Abysia, I don't think you should change their theme, just allow easier access to the alternative(B+S) make it a bit stronger on EA, similar to what MA Abysia has, or something along those lines.

MA Vanheim has Skinshifters, so that's a huge boon already. the problem is that their magic is still so limited, unlike Midgard who is a very fine nation. they also have the ridiculously overpriced Vans, and with the glamour nerf they're no longer the F9W9 heaven they used to be, now most MA Vanheim players use Skinshifters instead. EA Vanheim has neither Vans nor Skinshifters. both are considered as blood nations but have terrible inefficient blood hunters, way too high a cost for B1, and it's not like there's an easily summoned/indy B1 mage that you can use instead, so its either sticking to those overpriced Vanjarls or those even more ridiculously expensive Vandarrots so at least you don't need 3 Vanjarls hunting in each province. there's also the option of eventually using Vampire Lord hunters, but you need a lot of blood slaves for that to begin with, and either way it's terrible cost inefficient as well...

yes, Rudras are still very good at 55 pearls, but they outshine all the alternative summons by so much that those almost never get to see play. so maybe lowering the others' prices to make a choice between the still very very strong yet expensive Rudras to its cheaper alternatives for quality vs quantity.

Difference there is that MA C'Tis's effect can be removed by conquering them. The population loss from LA Ermor and LA R'lyeh is effectively permanent.

I personally think that warlock apprentices should be recruit anywhere for both MA and EA Abysia. It would make a huge, huge difference in their long-term viability.
