Gandalf, i'm sorry, you just don't know what you're talking about here.
Vanilla Ashdod alone >> the entire arborean team. Seriously.
Seriously. Its not about duels, its what the nation can get for gold, and what the nation can do with magic. And CBM hasn't even nerfed Ashdod enough yet!
The 'built-in feature' of Man is that it has no late game. The 'built-in feature' of Eriu is it sucks - its troop line up is worthless in addition to having no late game, and being good at raiding does not win games. Seriously. Machaka at least has half a chance if it spams fever fetishes like mad...
(The only reason Man is worse than Eriu here is that Eriu at least adds something - raiding, and both would have to rely on their partners for anything resembling a late game. Something Mictlan can't really provide in MA, and Machaka has to live that long...)
