EA Nation Early/Mid Strength?
 

What I'm looking for is nations with problematic early game.
Especially for those that can't easily reach spells that help them.

Ryleh & Maverni

MA Agartha

Re: EA Nation Early/Mid Strength?
 

EA Atlantis isnt stellar in the early game either, afaik.

Re: EA Nation Early/Mid Strength?
 

MA Oceania too.

Oh, and the mighty Bandar Log, of course. )) Not even elephants fully make up for damn apes and monkeys pretending to be warriors. :)

Re: EA Nation Early/Mid Strength?
 

The only one I disagree with is MA Oceania; Ichtycentaurs are pretty damn good at expansion. After that is the issue.

LA Bogarus comes to mind.

With CBM, Polypal Mothers are nasty. Instead of paying 50 gold for a Gibodai, you pay 50 gold for 1 free Gibodia per turn. Combine that with an awake cheap UW SC god (Kraken) to get you through the first year, good scales, and massive amounts of lobo guards.

I don't bother with paths on the Kraken, and depend on trade/luck/tiamat to get air gems for a fish ammy forger.

Actually I think Marverni isn't that bad. You can get troop buffs and debuffs in alt and con early on and/or head for GfH. For example a vertgobret and 10 ambitate nobles can make a good raiding force.

Maybe I should rephrase the question. Which EA nations can't get a raiding force with < 400 gp and low level < lvl 4 spells?

What about Ermor?
Van? Ok, they can bless but are their sacreds worth it?

Re: EA Nation Early/Mid Strength?
 

Ermor and Van are DEFINITELY not nations that come to mind for your requirements ...
