Default Re: Lords of Civilization

My reaction to Hinnom was kind of "meh." The charioteers look fun, but the mages are expensive and moderately weak outside of blood. (E3/F3/S3 on the cap-only versions, E2/F2/S2/N2 elsewhere. No cross-path spells.) The way the randoms work is interesting--I like correlated randoms--but there's no really cheap blood hunter (best is B1 for 150 gold, sacred) which would make a blood summons economy more expensive. I'm not really tempted to play them over, say, EA Ermor or Sauromatia or Agartha. Might be different in MP, and might be just because I hate blood magic for battle spells (WAY too much micromanagement), but while Hinnom is an entertaining and thematic nation I'm not going to fear them in SP the way I fear Niefelheim or the Vans.
