Everything.

As a rule you can't go wrong with demonic monkies.

But unvaried. And most other nations can spam their own powerful evocations, often for less money.

Seraphs can become gods if you Wish for power a couple of times.

Of course Lanka is the best early nation, Ravana has 10 heads and 20 arms, the Chandrahas moon blade and the biggest harem you've ever seen.

People seem to think that Lanka is some kind of super nation, even though they've only ever won one Multiplay game, and that was a Newbie game. Heck, in just about every other MP game I've played they don't even make it to the midgame.

Lanka has the best late-game of any nation, IMO, and should have a very powerful early game, if played well. Their middle game isn't terrible, especially if played carefully.

Heh. The Multiplay scores don't agree.

Sure, the "Victorious Nations/Hall of Fame" scores aren't a truly representative sample, but I've never even heard of someone winning a MP game with Lanka (other than me in a single Newbie game).

The multiplayer scores aren't a very good sample, either. Especially since Lanka hasn't been around as many of the other nations.

One thing about this game is that nations seen as strong get ganged up on, so their performance is hurt. But seen equally, lanka has a number of strengths over its opponents.
