Re: KingMaker - let the Ascension War commence!
There's a wide range of play skill and luck involved here, I'm not sure if these differences are really significant. It's true that an EA nation with no stellar early defenses (EA Ermor, for example) is a more attractive target than a LA nation with 2 fewer gems per month.
LA nations also tend to have larger admin bonuses in their capitals, making them stronger even with an equivalent military.
But EA Ermor has good protection (about the same as MA if you only field the high prot legionaire anyway) and still always dies.
Now, everyone thinks the forge was dispelled? Maybe, but that's a pedestrian answer. I think it was cast by an K'tonian necromancer who got smacked down by one of 5,000 seeking arrows helheim just lobbed.
