Dominions 2 Power Rankings

[Huzurdaddi]

What is so bad about Tien Chi? Their mages rock and their units are good too..

Well two things make them seem a little weak:

1. Troops their troops really are "average" and by that I mean below average. They just don't have any "trick" units. They do not have elephants. They do not have excellent defence. They do not have sacred troops. They do not have serious HP. They do not have great strength. They do not have very high prot. Almost all nations have some trick unit. T'ien Ch'i doesn't.

2. Mages. Their widely recruitable mage ( the master of the way ) is somewhat underpowered although he does have a random which is a nice bonus and he makes a very efficient researcher. He is not however a great combat mage. Their combat mage is only recruitable in the capital and he has one astral which can be a serious liability.

BTW I'm seeing a lot of common themes in the rankings. Caelum, Vanhiem, Pythum, Acro, Abysia, Ermor these all look like excellent nations to me! Is it "group think" or do these nations really have a leg up? Only time will tell I suppose.
