Yeah. I *hate* Marignon. All the good races were originally taken, so I signed up for Machaka - but then two other people asked for it.. sooo I gave them Machaka and took.. Marignon.

Mostly to make a point.

Don't get me wrong - marignon sucks. No magic diversity, and old age mages. But my usual advice to players is - pump out the flagellants and crossbow men asap. Those were essentially the only national troops I ever built.

Ermor tried to pin me in - and when I offered a very reasonable compromise - splitting Vanheim - well when he declined he was essentially one of the perfect opponents for me.

Flame arrows, holy pyre, fireballs + flagellents with fire weapons...
