I'm playing against a double bless Ashdod in a MA game currently. I'm playing a double bless Mictlan. Knowing how cheap my sacreds are, I would say that, dollar for dollar, the Ashdod sacreds win almost 3 dollars to my 1 in a straight up fight. This includes the use of jade amazon riders. I'm serious, nearly hundreds to his dozens. I'm actually glad I didn't take a full fire bless as that might work more in Ashdod's favor, considering their natural fire resistance. Luckily for me, I would never fight a straight up fight against them.

Their access to death magic has been painfully synergistic. Their skelly spam is better then any other nations due to their unique undead. I think their access to forgers and earth magic also synergies too well with their access to national thugs.

As for player skill, the original player knew what he was doing. It is now controlled by a new player. That said, he has still managed to fend off three nations and eat another one alive. It is a bit ridiculous, but I suspect the gap in player skill might allow the others and I victory. Against an experienced player, I would say we have no chance to survive.
