I usually play the world war scenario. At the second fortress there are 8g/3r archers which help during the first turns. My games tend to be very demanding during the first 40-50 turns and then get too easy once well of missery is up and the tartarian factory kicking in.
Originally posted by PDF: Ermor Soul Gate is my fave for the moment Quite different than any "living" nations, dark and spectral ... Very fun !
I like Soul Gate with a Lich Queen with dominion 10, scales -3/-3/-3/-3/-3/+3, an Ermorian Citadel, and 3F 3A 3W 4E 9D 3N magic
The only thing that is not really covered is blood (but nobody is going to be alive anyway) and astral. Fortunately, you are quite likely to get a Dusk Elder with an astral pick sooner or later or to find an independent astral mage, which allows you to do astral probing.
You can never get too many gems
