[Huzurdaddi]

LA Marignon is a pretty kick *** blood nation. They have crossbows which are excellent. They have easy access to flaming arrows which rocks early game. Goetic Masters have early access to hellfire which is a pretty decent spell. Their national summons are excellent. Finally they have great magical diversity ( F, A, W, E, S, B ). The only thing that they are lacking is a decent sacred troop.

Another LA blood nation is Utgard. Due to the changes in the economics they are a decent blood nation. Their troops include the most heavy infanty of the age. Their mages are solid, and have a fine cost/performance ratio, especially the skeithkona. Finally their Skratti are *excellent* in combat ( excellent may be too weak of a word, with the right equipment they are right up there with the Jarls of a by gone age in combat ).
