From now on Baalz must write a secondary guide for every nation he has a guide for, entitled "How To Fight X."

Oh, I make a bit of exaggeration for humor's sake. You're not actually going to be able to dominate everyone every time you play and win before the endgame. Hinnom's initial expansion is very, very good, but it's not really that much better than any of several nations who have very rapid early expansion. I think Hinnom will be a nation that people gang up on, just like LA Ermor and LA R'yleh - they're very strong early on but unstoppable if left alone. You'll need to play similarly.

So as far as I understood, the main "danger" for this nation you people talked about, is from alliances of enemies - which will hopefully stop its GREAT early power in order to prevent their UNSTOPPABLE (quoting) late power?

This makes me wonder even more how in the heck Hinnom got stomped in the Kingmaker early game by Lanka.

Well in fairness Lanka is also a powerhouse and any nation can be tricky to do well with if you are new to it/mp in general.

Yes, it was a newb playing them I believe. He built all chariots and no giants.

It is. I would rate Lanka access to magic, sacreds, troops and thugs almost as high as Hinnom.

But Lanka has the worst PD in game, and Hinnom has the best one. So if lanka is a powerhouse, then hinnom is.... a superpowerhouse?

My thought was "a score of armored tramplers, what could possibly go wrong?"

Lanka, mainly. I am, however, good at taking notes.

Why wouldn't those tramplers work against lanka though.. or rather why didn't they.. size 6 should work against most of those demons right?
