Dominions 2 Power Rankings
 

For multi-player, rank the nations from "most likely to win" to "most likely to lose." You can rank them from 1 through 17 or by tiers. When judging nations that have multiple themes, use the theme you think is the strongest for MP.

This is by no means official, just a fun poll to see what nations people think are the most powerful. Please limit any kind of debate or at least start a new thread if you can't resist.

I'm really curious to see which nations are deemed the worst. Maybe some of the stronger players here can start playing them to prove the poll wrong. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

I'll start with my list (which shouldn't really count because I'm such a n00b still but serves as an example):

Tier 1:
Vanheim
Caelum
Abysia
Pythium
Ermor
Jotun

Tier 2:
Atlantis
Ulm
C'Tis
Arco
Pangaea
Ry'leh
Mictlan

Tier 3:
Man
Marignon
T'ien Ch'i
Machaka

Re: Dominions 2 Power Rankings
 

Tier 1:
Arcoscephale
Pythium
Abysia
Caelum

Tier 1.5:
Ermor

Tier 2:
Jotunheim
Marignon
Machaka
R'lyeh

Tier 3:
all the rest.

However, I think I've seen all nations perform equally good or bad so far, with the exception of Arcoscephale, which appears to be always among the top three in any mp-game I played so far.

Arco is the first to die in Frosted Flake's "Musical Chairs". Ermor is doing the killing. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Dominions 2 Power Rankings
 

I'm going to go with a few tiers, with a ranking roughly in order within each tier.
Tier 1.
C'tis, Atlantis, Abysia, Mictlan, Pythium, Vanheim, Arcocesphale
Tier 2:
Caelum, Man, Machaka, Ulm, Jotunheim, Pangaea, R'lyeh, Ermor, Marignon
Tier 3:
T'ien C'Hi

Re: Dominions 2 Power Rankings
 

What is so bad about Tien Chi? Their mages rock and their units are good too..

I can understand why people don't like Ulm (although they are my favorite). However, the research level really plays a factor here. On difficult research or a small map, I think they get boosted up a tier or two.. There's no denying they whip some serious *** in the early game.

Tier One: The might Hoburg Alliance.

Tier Two : Everyone else. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
