Favorite new nation?
For those lucky enough to either enjoy the game already or practically get there via Endoperez's fantastic Screenies thread, what's your favorite of the new (or radically remodeled) nations?
I think mine is fairly obviously the Dreamlands, although I'll admit some love for the Conan-themed Ulm - Enigma of Steel, which gives Ulm a whole new taste in terms of stealth while also tossing in their amazing new sacred units who, with a Fire blessing and perhaps a second of your choice (I'd say Nature or Water for optimal effect), cut through the enemy like a knife in butter. But definitely the Dreamlands for me, as I'm always a fan of Dominion effects and Lovecraft, so merging the two is chocolate and peanut butter for me. The fact that you get to keep using the Void Gate on top of the fantastic new insanity effects, the newly-enslaved Atlantean mages and priests which shore up R'lyeh's previous weaknesses in those categories, and the fact that it's now the only water nation in the Late Era makes R'lyeh Dreamlands my favorite new nation of Dom3. But enough time with Enigma of Steel, or possibly Shinuyama, might change my mind. ;-) |
Re: Favorite new nation?
Its a hard question since I don't have the game yet. I guess I will focus on Ermor as always, but I will also want to play with more nations in Dominions 3, because in Dominions 2 I was playing Ermor in 10/8 MP games at average. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif I will definitely try out all of the new nations. Agartha looks like very interesting to me. I will try them first after I've installed the game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Early Agartha, Early and Late Atlantis, RoR Caelum and Dreamlands all look very cool. =)

And Blight! Don't forget Blight. I don't know yet. I haven't even checked them all. I've enjoyed almost every nation I've tried, though. I'm not good with all of them, though. Currently I like Kailasa/Bandar Log/Patala. I've played them the most. Astral for Thaumaturgy is simple enough, and I've got some ideas for how to use the mages and troops. I like the multi-purpose archers. Bandar Archers, especially the armored ones available from MA, are awesome in theory. Now I'll just have to learn to use them. |

Re: Favorite new nation?
My copy is still in transit as well, but the new nation I am most looking forward to playing is the Late Era/Age "Japan" nation. This is strictly for thematic reasons - I like samurai.
