> Has anyone saying otherwise seen those mandahas(sp). I mean autocast darkness and soul vortex? Come on! And the capital only sacreds are insane. Throw in the strong blood and air, and they are just brutal.
They do not autocast souls vortex, although they can probably cast it without much problems.

I imagine placement on map and war/alliances have greater importance than any other factor. EA nations are likely to be attacked in an all nations game as they have slightly weaker national units and have access to great magic powers later on. Thus prime targets in the early game. Or they might be percieved as powerful (helheim) early on and thus attacked by several frightened neighbours.

Lanka might be a weak nation just by being strong
