Default Who is the most powerful nation and why?

Who is the most powerful nation and why? I have some guesses, but I'd rather not taint the poll results. What do you think?

EA: Lanka- Does this one really need any explanation? Powerful blood magic, powerful sacreds, undead.

MA: I'm not terribly familiar with this era, but I still went with Ermor.

LA: Ermor again, even with the so called nerf this nation can just overwhelm the rest with free units.

I really only play the MA, but fought some of the other eras in the Big Game:

1. EA Lanka insane bless, powerful summons, demons do not have as many counters as undead, and decent air magic.

2. MA-no race really strikes dread in me in the MA.
But Ermor and Pythium are likely the top 2.

3. LA Ryleh

I agree, especially with the way that Ermor's death domain is now.

Default Most powerful blood nation?

How does EA Lanka stack up against EA Mictlan? I was reading a thread comparing who was the most powerful blood nation (I will post it if I can find it again). The gist of the arguments seemed to be Lanka is more versatile, but Mictlan is more focuses and has lower upkeep for it's primary blood hunters. Of course, perhaps you could switch to using summons for blood hunting and then not pay any gold upkeep, but I'm not sure how well that would work.

Yeah, for me R'lyeh just has LA under control.
Only water nation? Check. Strongest astral magic in an age where a huge number of nations have weak astral magic on their mages? Check. Powerful magic, even compared to the other strong magic nations of the age? Check.

They are pretty much good all-round. Troops aren't great, but they have great magic compared to most LA Nations and magic that is great against many LA nations along with dominance of the sea. Sure, Ermor can send undead down, but R'lyeh gets some death magic, decent priests(who also make good researchers) and mind blasters who can tear Ermor apart.

Given the unanimous agreement on LA Ermor and Ryleh, what nations of LA, besides those two, are the most powerful?

Maybe LA Mictlan? I'm a fan of Mictlan's simplicity and power, but also a bit biased.
