Your Favorite Nation/Theme
Too lazy to make a poll, but what is your favorite nation/theme and why?
I haven't played a whole lot, really only 4. Yet, I still don't have a favorite.
Discuss.

C'tis : Miasma.
Why?
-I love to play defensively and spread dominion as my main goal. Seems to be what sets Dominions apart.
-Cheap priests to spread dominion.
-Always enjoyed poison/disease stuff.
-Lizards are cute.
-Cool to have an Empoisoner Prophet to preach while stealthed.
-The City Guards are nice units for defensive play.
-It is challenging to play and unusual.
-It has great flavor with other similar poison spells/creatures.

Re: Your Favorite Nation/Theme
Man, Pangaea, Ulm (with Black Forest)
Hmm something psychological in that list. All underdogs with heavy capability toward sneaking armies.
I guess I just like being a surprise.

If you cant beat 'em, then join 'em.
If you cant beat em or join em, then at least try to surprise them.

Re: Your Favorite Nation/Theme
Jotunheim: Niefelheim. Niefel Jarls are the main reason why I like it. With this theme and nation I generally go for a green dragon with nature bless effects, though a Arch Druid, green Naga or other nature-oriented pretender would also work fine for this, the dragon is a very good early game supercombatant (you can take whole provinces with just one dragon!).
In fact, after playing Niefelheim, normal Jotunheim seems weak, comparatively.

Re: Your Favorite Nation/Theme
It's hard to say, though Vanhiem I find to be a nice balance of fun and powerful. Another fun (if not as powerfull) one is Man's Last of the Tuantha theme. Mictlan can also be interesting, but it is usaully considered the weakest nation.
On a related note I find Machaka the hardest nation to 'get into'. It also has some of the weakest national heroes.
