I don't know. I still love Ulm, especially standard and Black Forest. I despise Iron Faith, though. Sure, they may not be very good at competitive MP, and if they don't find druids or amazons, they're really screwed magic-wise without a rainbow pretender (which invariably suck in the unmodded game but can be pretty good with the CB mods). But I still like Ulm. Might be because I like sandbox style play and the addition of Black Forest makes Ulm perhaps the thematically most intriguing nation alongside Abysia and Ermor.

so far I prefer Abysia, and Thematically I love the aztec part of mictlan, but dislike the dominion spreading blood sacrifice thing. I love the look and feel of machaka. I really lve Rlyeh especially for the void gaete summons and when you build a fortress next to the sea you get loads of hybrids, like in the movie Dagon (and corresponding HP Lovecraft shorts)

if you want to talk unstoppable expensive units then the way to go is new age pangaea. those armored up minotaurs are a force to be reckoned with. Haven't really dipped into the vanilla fantasy units yet... man or ulm, or even ermor and pythium.

I would really like BF Ulm if their mages had the correct magic paths. Like if the Illuminated One has B and the Member of the 2d Trier had BBD. That would be swell.

There is only one thematically correct pretender for BF Ulm, and that is the VQ. I suppose blood fountain could also do in a pinch, as could Ghost King, but they still aren't nearly as fitting. Then you can use the VQ to summon a count who will summon more.

Ermor is also a favorite of mine thematically, even though I don't much like playing with it.

I'm quite fond of Sauromatia and Shinuyama

Sauromatia: in DomIII, there are Eras.
In the Era before the fall of the Ermorian Empire, Sauromatia existed where Pythium would once be. Hydras, lizardmen different from those of C'tis.

I haven't heard from Shinuyama previously, but Shinoyama is a Japanese name (at least google told me about a Japanese photographer named like that). Shinu seems to mean 'to die' and Yama 'mountain'. Going purely by name gotten from an online translator, I quess we have our first Earth/Blood nation.
