Just for pedantry's sake, there are 2 cave nations: Abysia is the other.

Agartha isn't a bad nation in any age. In EA and MA you can easily get into the water which gives a useful extra dimension, and in EA Agartha wouldn't be too horribly outclassed by the water specialists in a fight. Agartha also has unique summons in all ages, all of which are useful and effective. (Umbrals particularly make great thugs if gift of reasoned.)

I don't rate the Olm pretender highly: it's not a particularly good SC, Dom chassis, or powerful mage. It's not bad at any of them either, but that means it's just okay.

Abysia is the volcano nation, they don't really have much to do with caves. Magma tubes you could argue, I suppose.

Hey, the Wiki voice about Agartha doesn't say anything about it being a nation in Dom3, while talking about it in other games ... maybe someone can put it on?
