HINNOM EATS EVERYTHING

It's the Ophanim and other summons I'm mostly concerned about in regards to Ashdod.

Kristoffer, i wouldn't attend too much to the national lategame summons. They are a nice bonus when it comes into lategame (even if difficult to cast) but Early/Midgame is the very important part of the game and this is where the new giant races rock. They have all the giant early bonus and get decent mages for a good midgame.

I agree about the O kristoffer. It was a clearly stellar unit, and I love forging.

Both times I played national strategies to try and get 'em, because the strategy was so clearly effective in SP.

But I was eliminated before I was able to summon. I started out thinking ashdod WAAAAY strong. I still like em. Lots of fun options.

I still think that if you make it to mid game - then you become strong. But this is one of the races, like mictlan, where the strengths and weaknesses were not casually obvious.
