Re: Race advice for new mega-game
Shooting in my own foot here, but there are several astral-heavy races with elephants. Also, unless nonsacredness is a deal-breaker, check the two MA water races that get astral.
At least those come up straight away. Also, for some old goodyness, MA Ermor.

Re: Race advice for new mega-game
MA Pythium, LA Marignon, MA Bandar log are all very good. Bandarlog lacks in magic diversity, right up until you start summoning guys and they get magical diversity through the wazzoo.

Re: Race advice for new mega-game
Lol, truth be told I picked up Marverni because I got the impression a lot of people thought they were underpowered and I figured I could polish out some shine. Guess I succeeded.  Then again, I really like some of the other classic underdogs from MA Atlantis (who I did very well with in the last megagame) to MA Ulm so I'd take my suggestions with a grain of salt.

Re: Race advice for new mega-game
As a player who was doing well in the first Megagame right up until I needed to quit because of law school, I'd recommend a blood nation.

Re: Race advice for new mega-game
I would play a nation that you like and feel is strong Aezeal, there really is no right or wrong nation.

Re: Race advice for new mega-game
Any nation with access to air and nature will do well using the Gift of Reasoned militia with Chi Boots. Intimidation!!!

Re: Race advice for new mega-game
Lanka.
Describes everything you want:
1) Competetive. Check. Lots of people feel this nation is strong.
2) Good sacreds. Check. Great capitol only sacreds and very good recruitable everywhere else.
3) Good troops. Negligible. Being able to recruit their sacreds at every fort why bother with anything else?
4)Strong Priests. Check. And the priests are able to summon undead!
5)Strong Archers. Check. Stealthy shortbows and meaty (but expensive long bows)
6)Divers magic. Check
7) Strong in all magic paths. Almost. You may need a pretender strong in Astral to fill this gap.

Re: Race advice for new mega-game
Why the continuing reference to Gor'd militia?
