Top 10 MP races?

Abysia and Jotuns also can do quite well on small maps if setup properly; to a lesser extent, I think Vanheim and Man can as well.

"All things being equal", my vote goes to Caelum hands down. Caelum is scary for yet another reason which no one has really mentioned yet, it has one of the single scariest price-value unit in the game: The Seraphine. On top of everything else that Caelum has and which has been duly mentioned, you get a 90-gold 25-commander *stealthy preacher* -- but not just any old stealthy preacher, a FLYING cold-immune stealthy LEVEL 3 Priest. Yikes. Caelum with Ceremonial Faith is just scary.
