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

[Sammual]

I got my copy yesterday and played for about 10 hours. The balance between nations is great.

I thought I was going to clean up with my heavy Bless Giants but they started to stall mid game and are now on the defensive from high level magic.

I tried Ermor (Ashen whatever) and WOW did I have a lot of points to spend. I was SHURE I was going to clean house. I had a pretender with 9 Death, 4 in everything but Fire and Air (1 in each of them). I was able to get off to a great start (And find a LOT of sites) but I started to stall when my Domain started to get countered. Now Every offense is expensive as all the nations around me have a lot of Priests and they are attacking with Priests and Seasonal Creatures (They just EAT low level undead). I am still winning but it is one hell of a fight now.
