Agree with EH.

But do not sleep on Arcos and Vanheim. They are up there as well.

Arcos has elephants which allow for rapid expansion. Few MA races can withstand elephants when their morale is boosted until they fight to the death. Arcos also has cheap powerful astral mages.

Vanheim-despite the mini-nerf to glamour, double 9 blessed vans are sill almost thugs. The strong air magic, cheap resource skin shifters, with the double 9 blessed vans make Vanheim the single most feared MA race to start next to in a MP game.
