Your Favorite Nation/Theme

[Kjeld]

Strictly for thematic and "roleplay"/ambiance reasons (I am waayy to much of a newbie to have grasp at the intricate balance of power between nations ) :
- Jotunheim / Utgard
- Vanheim / Midgard
- Marignon / Base

... thus far

[Raz 24]

Black Forest / Ulm
I just love vampires wolfs and all those other nasty and sturdy units

Marignon / Vanilla
Something hidden in marignon attracts me , can´t say what thou

C´tis / Vanilla
Lizards are cute , and Sauromancers are awesome(+9)

Well I dont want to wright the "exact" wy I like the nations , but that is only because I´m too lazy

[General Tacticus]

Ulm / Iron Faith

I just like the idea of banishing all mages from the game

I'm having fun with my Mictlan AAR, but frankly the only reason I chose Mictlan is their awesome (strategically speaking) starting position in the World War scenario (whereas Ulm's suck big time).

As for second place, I'd say Pythium / Serpent Cult. I love gladiators, and I love hydras, especially blessed ones

[LordArioch]

Hmm...I have a quite a few Favorites

Abysia/standard Tough troops and flame to coat the land with. Just don't forget the eyes of aiming. And I can't resist Demonbred.

Man/Last of the Tuatha It's like discount Vanheim and you still get longbows. Standard is fun too.

Ermor/Broken Empire (standard) All my favorite pythium troops, wonderful sacred shadow vestals, and armed souless after every battle. And the Apostacy spell is fun too.

Pangea/standard Free troops and strong forest creatures supplimented by some of the best magic for support.

Jotunheim/Iron Woods (default) Hags to research, giants to smash, and vaetti to sneak. Also pretty good at making lots of frost demons/ice devils.

For power Arcoscephale wins...I can't seem to do as well with even Pythium as I can with the longspears and ridiculously good mages of Arco.

And least favorite is C'tis. I do better with Mictlan's troops than those of C'tis. I don't see anything C'tis does that some other nation doesn't do better.

[SalsaDoom]

Pythium/Serpent Cult.

I mean, I'm /Salsa Doom/ right? I mean, right?

I *have* to play the Serpent Cult. And the fact it pWNs is purely a side bonus, really.


(Salsa Doom is a play on Thulsa Doom from Conan the Barbarian for those who don't get it

[Argitoth]

C'tis Default

I have what people call a "disintegration" strategy. I will soon be using the same strategy with Miasma as soon as I do more experimenting.

I am trying an Ulm/rainbow magic Alchemist god combo. My plan is to use my god to find as many gem sites and then pump out gold with alchemy, then of course pump out mass troops and mercenaries to try to overwhelm my opponents. Has anyone tried this strategy? Was it succesful?
