Fomoria

I tried them out in SP, I saw quite a few similarities between them and the Sons of Winter. As such, the common SoW strategy cam probably apply to this nation as well. Get a decent Bless (with Earth and Nature probably being the most important components) and use your sacreds to expand early. As soon as you can, start buying Fomorian Kings every turn, to serve as powerful thugs, subercombatants, or plain mages.

There are key differences. No chill aura makes Fomorians much less scarry, but they also have Fir Blog (small sized) infantry to accompany them, which gives them a bit for flexibility. Try playing with this template and see what you come up with.

Macha the Nemedian Queen

You haven't seen anything yet until you've seen Balor. Evil Eye indeed...

You're saying that without a screenshot? Meanie. Well, I guess I'll have to find out for myself, then.

Balor has an evil eye ranged area attack that is armour negating. From memory I think the area is 5 squares. I was lucky to get him early in a SP game against 12 random AI's and had a relatively easy time. I was beginning to think that Formorians are overpowered, but then the situation might have been very different without Balor.

Hm, sounds like Gaze of Death ala Abominations -- 5 AoE, 10 AN. Nasty against hordes of puny man-animals.

Gaze of Death isn't unique to Balor, but it's quite rare. One of the Foul Spawn has it (Basilisk, Cockatrice or something along those lines), as well as the Catoblepas. Getting Balor early in the game is something quite different...
