Re: MA Eriu
Eriu from what it seems to me, is a very strong midgame nation which falls off hard late game if you don't have a large enough lead, due to the lack of access to Death/Astral/Blood in any meaningful way. You can do it with a pretender or summons, but the access is time consuming for the latter and point demanding for the former (esp. when you go for the E9/N4-6 bless that you get on Eriu for supercharging Sidhe Lords and Tuatha from decent thug chasses to "can operate with 12 gems of equipment [frost brand, vine shield, forged by a bean sidhe] and be a pretty sizable threat to most anything"). The fetters are nice, but only against SCs or thugs (so they make great anti-thugs out of the can).
They do have really good battlefield magics, though, when combined with how good Fir Bolgs are. Storm into thunderstrikes on everyone, or Mass protections/legions of steel for everyone.
