Of those I've tried so far, R'lyeh, TC Spring & Autumn, and Ashikaga I've liked the most. They're not necessarily the strongest nations, but thematically are quite spiffy.

1. Ermor - Ashen Empire. It was easy, but I love the super powerful Pretender with like 700 points to spend on him.

2. Jotunheim/Niefelheim I am terrible with them, and can't seem to win, but I have a lot of fun losing. My strategy doesn't seem to mesh with their strengths, I need to try something new with them.

3. Machaka(pre 2.08) Tons of research from my straw hut = my strategy to a tee...this is why I suck with Niefel, no Witch Doctors. Of course, now Machaka is at Man's research level, Hello, Bards! But without her Longbows. OOps!

4. Atlantis Coral Guards, I love you. Seers, Powerful priests, and the Dagon. Sign me up!


16. Pythium Easiest game I ever played. It was so easy, it wasnt even fun.

17. Vanheim I dont even know why. I tried to try them a few times, but I just don't like them at all. Maybe its because they are like Jotunheim, but not. I dunno, Helheim has much of the flavor of my liked nations...I need to try em again.

Mine are Ulm (except Iron Faith, which I despise) and Abysia (both themes).

However, can we please cut down on the thread necromancy? I don't see this one as particularly bad, but some other instances of the dark rites being practiced here have been somewhat annoying. It's good that new users take a look at old threads, but excessive thread necromancy often irritates other posters. Of course, if necromancy is not forbidden or even not frowned upon, please disreagrd this complaint.

Isn't it generally better to reply to a thread on a topic of interest than create a new one on the same topic?

Since, as you allude to, forum vets often encourage newcomers to search the forum for old posts to answer their questions, we should probably accept that posting to a thread so found will be a natural consequence.

Actually I'm really enjoying the thread necromancy (love the term too) - I find the Search function on this board so poor that I probably wouldn't otherwise have seen these threads.

I've been thinking hard about this one - I've not played every race yet (haven't tried Atlantis, Tien Chi, Machaka, Ermor or Pangaea), and I've only played the base theme of all the others.

I think my favourite experience so far would have to be Vanheim, followed by C'tis.

That may all change though.
