I am at turn 90 in a game with MA Marignon, I'm arguably the most powerful nation and have at times fought off 3 opponents at one time.

You need to survive the initial rush of the eraly game and tech too your summons.

Ashen Angels are simply awesome at 35 astral gems. Blood vengeance.

After that you have Seraphs one of the most powerful SC's in the game. 4A4S4F with lots of bonuses and able to bumped up to A8 or A9 easily enough.

Your main armies will consist of the cheaper cavalry (not the sacreds) and crossbowman. Have an 4F mage with large numbers of xbowman for flaming arrows.

Massed witch hunters can form communions and also lay down awesome amounts of Astral fires, holy pyres and falling fires.

Dominion push is acheivable with this nation.

Your pretender must be a rainbow type due to the need to disversify for items for your SC's etc.

They are by no means a weak or mediocre nation.
