I would say the EA Nations are missing the armor, so they cant win army battles. And the MA Nations tend to have stronger magic than the LA Variants.

And then i think that there is a lot of randomness involved as its just one game.

For example what i have seen is that:

EA Tir na n'og and LA Man where ganged and did not have much of a chance.

And i personnaly killed EA Sauromantia and LA Ulm and both where played by medicore to bad players.

LA Atlantis got afk and was set to AI.

So 5 EA and LA nations where defeated, without you can say that the nations would be weaker.

Also Xietor had around 50 turns to defeat Lanka, if lanka not would have had much player change and stales, then maybe one more EA nation and one less MA nation would be in play.
