		Without those two? I'm personally a big fan of Agartha, but I don't know if I'd say they're the best.

		I think with the other nations it depends on map size, number of players and other game settings.

		LA C'tis and Arcosephale are both pretty powerful.

		I would say LA Marignon: powerful mages/priests, blood, angels.

		But... to play LA R'lyeh. What a beating. Yes, your recruit freespawn all over your dominion. But then, you have to feed them. And find Commanders who can lead them off to war. All the while, your commanders are going insane. Even your Starspawn will sometimes go insane. It is a powerful nation, I agree, but I will never play it again.

		In the one LA game I played against R'lyeh and Ermor, Ermor won.  So, I'm a might biased in that regard.

		EA... I answered Fomoria, not because I think it's the only best but because it's a good example of the strengths of a good nation in EA (good sacred, high hp units, extremely good national thugs). I could have said Niefelheim or Lanka instead (EA Atlantis has these qualities too, but can't be in the list because Oceania wins in the seas). 
 
MA... I answered Arcocephale, not because I think it's the only best but because it's a good example of the strengths of the good nations in MA (cheap and powerful mages mastering one of the overpowered paths but also diversified ; some good units for early expansion). I could have said Pythium or C'tis instead. 
 
LA... I answered Rl'yeh, because I think it's by far the most dangerous and a good example of the strengths of the two best nations in LA (freespawns, water access). Ermor is the number two.

		I voted Lanka, Pythium and Ermor. 
 
LA Ermor may be a bit more handicapped with the dom kill increase which may now make LA R'lyeh the most powerful in LA.  We will after see. 
 
There should have been an option of the age is balanced overall, no one nation stands out as extremely powerful.  As in EA and MA the nations are very well balanced with each another.
