And now give Lanka some mages and thugs too, and cry as your monkeys bite dust. I dont understand why is everyone saying 'side A has much stronger troops, but side B can even that with magic'. Magic works for both sides.
Anyway, Lanka has a potential to become very strong, yes, but so far it seems its much weaker than Mictlan so you can go against Langa and win 1 vs1. Monkey demons are harder to amass than Jaguar, early summons are weaker etc.
In one of our games Kailasa actually rushed Lanka early with a Deva god. Defense boosted over 30 and an eye shield took care of the demons easily, while Lanka didnt think of using same eye shields on its commanders against Deva.

In our "fight club" scenario, we are looking at ways to defeat the Lanka rush which they do so very well on turn 10.
Frankly, Lanka's main weakness is that they lag in early game research because they have so many competing things to make like blood hunters, Reanimating priests, and Blessing Priests for Tigerhead Armies. On turn 10 they might only have a 1 or 2 in one path.
Kailasa, on the other hand, can start heavy research on Turn 1, and have a 5 on turn ten.
So in our scenario, we are looking at Kailasa's strengths vs Lanka's weaknesses, since we already know that on the flipside Lanka's strengths naturally trump Kailasa's weaknesses.
On turn 30, I'd say it was anyone's game. Player skill, position, and just plain luck in site searching matter more than what nation you are playing, but at turn 10 it seriously is a finite problem of "what did you build and what did you research."
