I'm totally biased. Obviously it's quite common for someone's main army to be annihilated by Wrathful Skies on turn 20, and it's just sheer ignorance and inexperience that allow someone to not plan for that.

I am also probably biased, because I know how powerful Midgard becomes when it reaches a critical mass of gold income, Air gem income, and Blood Slave income. Since only 1 of those 3 items is painfully clear from the Score Graphs, I could totally be imagining the other 2. I am sure that there are plenty of other explanations for the Air based forged items and battle magic that I have seen, and I am also quite sure that if Abysia is the true Blood power of your team (heaven forbid!), that he would never supply you with Blood Slaves, or spam Horrors and Disease Demons at your opponents for you.

It's a good thing that I am either imagining all of that, or I have lost my objectivity due to my knowledge of how to play Midgard effectively, and the carnage that I have already witnessed your team wreaking on others.

So I guess the short answer - yes, I am biased against Midgard and Abysia specifically because while I am quite familiar with what all of the "contenders" are -capable- of, I only fully know what your team has already developed and deployed. But I guess any of the nations that you listed off could have been fighting 3-4 nations at once for most of the game, and making enormous gains with few notable losses throughout the campaign. I admit that level of ignorance.
