My first thought when Ashdod was released and I looked at its units was, "Wow, mages like LA Agartha!" Then I looked some more and was like, "Wow, sacreds like Lanka too!" That was before I discovered other cool tricks like how great Fire Storm is for Fire-resistant troops, or how cool Earthquake is when everybody in your army is a regenerating giant. I've had to crank my games up to beyond maximum difficulty, and still the game is over before I even get halfway through my bag of tricks.

I would love to see all nations be as fun and versatile as Ashdod. The only ones I know of that come close are Lanka, LA Agartha, and Shinuyama. (Of course that may be partly just a function of my playstyle.) And of course there are plenty of nations I haven't played yet at all.
