I'd probably take the Vanheim Allfather, then. In single combat, assuming both are battle-tweaked, he's a superior fighter: His paths are cheaper, he shares many of the benefits, he is NOT as susceptible to the rush assault due to his starting mirror images, which in conjunction with his higher air ranks, provide him with a good stalling tactic, and because he is glamoured, he always operates under cover of strategic unaccountability if he goes for more than one turn without being sighted in battle.

Furthermore, Vanheim, as a nation able to perform blood sacrifices, can push dominion with enough force to roll back enemy dominion, has stealthy preachers, and as an air nation, is well equipped to counter SG Ermor's ethereal hordes, as Wrathful Sky is your friend here.

However, in practice, since I am also evil, my evil twin would see that I am a kindred spirit, and we would kill everyone else first.

Then I would let him win. I've always wanted to see the entire world destroyed. It's been a childhood dream of mine since I was a young boy. If it was within his power to grant me this wish, I would do everything within my power to make it happen.
