So far what nations look strong... and weak?

Can't understand why you don't like him. 40 more gold for the extra magic seems correctly priced to me. He's much more flexible than the Sauromancer, who's basically a one-trick pony (although a good one at it, I admit). The MM doesn't raise skels as effectively, but at least you don't need communion anymore to use effective nature magic on the battlefield. Low-level nature spells like Touch of Madness are great on Elite Warriors or Falchioners.

IMO, the real downside of Miasma is the inability to recruit independent mages, and (to a lesser extent) the limited choices of pretenders (have to pick a cold-blooded, undead or immortal one).
