The Ages

[noname]

I find that nations which are more human tend to be easier to play as (usually), but lack an immediate punch to them; one has to build up and summon creatures in order to get the "razzle-dazzle" of the game. Nations comprised of non-humans (giants, lizardmen, agarthans, atlanteans, tritons, illithids, abysians, etc) require different strategies due to their different strengths and weaknesses (giants need more food, abysians radiate heat, agarthans only have one eye, tritons can't leave the sea, etc )but usually have access to flashy units early on. This is so because non-human nations ARE made up of flashy units, though some are more flashy than others (Badar Log's apes really aren't so flashy, neither are the lizardmen of C'tis.)
