Re: What faction is most appeals most to new playe
Having thought on it some more, I reiterate T'ien Ch'i, although actually I think I prefer MA. I think they are nice - nice military, nice magic, lots and lots of choices for mages, everything looks good, nice sacreds and interesting national summons. I think it would be good for getting someone excited.

Re: What faction is most appeals most to new playe
I wll recommend a new one (I hope the PD purists don't read this). Bandar Log!
They have the greatest diversity in troops, a recruitable anywhere inexpensive sacred, astonishing variety and quality in national summons and very good magic paths. They are a strong Astral nation with all the attendant benefits of Astral. They have built in access to all the best globals except the Forge, which requires pretender pathing.
I think they are easier to play than T'ien Ch'i because you will not get overwhelmed with the magic options.
They do have weak PD and don't win often in MP.

Re: What faction is most appeals most to new playe
MA Marignon is also a solid one with varied but traditional units. I'd recommend T'ien Ch'i or MA Man though, for the reasons already enumerated.

Re: What faction is most appeals most to new playe
Actually-although I'll agree with T'ien Ch'i-EA Atlantis is pretty well rounded too. It isn't as easy to use, but it does have the advantage of having some of the most powerful female units in the whole game.

Re: What faction is most appeals most to new playe
That obviously depends on your definition of female.

Re: What faction is most appeals most to new playe
Well, they may not be so much in the looks department, but they still have a certain inherant sexiness that all 18 foot tall high priestesses possess

You know, Attack of the 18 Foot Priestess is a film just begging to be made.
