EA Races to Play
 

I'm in a bit of a rut. I prefer to play EA nations, a little MA, not a fan of the LA. Anyhow, I am going to be playing a buddy of mine that is new to the game and another who has had the game for a while, but has never played a MP game. Who should I play and why should I play them?

Hinnom. because they are so grossly good you have to work to lose

Arco, because if you beat them, it will teach them a lot about how to become better players :)

No LA? But LA is where all the fun thematic nations are. :)

Why not try Helheim? Bring glamoured death to them all! Or Mictlan? Giant sacred armies of doom!

Really, I'm not sure. What are you looking for? A good nation that fits your playing style and tastes (which, if that's your wish, then elaborate on them), a powerhouse nation that can crush all opposition, a nation that'll make'em think, a nation that'll help ease you in to MP...?

But if you're looking for a powerhouse nation, I would go with Lanka/Helheim/Mictlan/Sauromatia/Himmon.

Kailasa, because they have topless blue dancer summons.

But who doesn't like one-eyed giants? Or cannibals?

I'm not looking for a powerhouse nation, I'm hoping to play them again. I'm just looking for something different that will give them something to think about.

I've played EA Ermor, EA Caelum, EA T'ien Ch'i, and EA Vanheim. Out of those, I've had fun with them all, but probably the most with T'ien Ch'i and then Caelum. If I play with either of those races, I will mop the floor with them I am sure. Just looking for something fun to play, possibly thematic, etc., etc.

One more thing, I have not played a Blood nation at all, but knowing how I know the magic system much better than them, I'm not sure that taking a blood nation is necessarily a good thing because I think it is the single most powerful school of magic in the game.

Something else, I think one of the guys will probably take EA Ermor.

Kailasa,

Because monkey PD will never win.
