No more MP for Hinnom?

Honestly, I think the only reason Hinnom is behind Niefel in Hellscape is because Fomoria and Mictlan have been trying to beat down Hinnom for most of the game. Despite our full-fledged efforts, we are losing the war. I am not sure anyone is attacking Niefel. Even with those odds the 2 of them, Niefel and Hinnom, are pretty close. So I would tend to agree that if you want a more balanced game, you might want to avoid using Hinnom or pray that its neighbors gang up on H right out of the box.

They were crushed in Kingmaker. Among the first 2-3 races killed out of 63. If you have a tough race, it is the other players duty to double team it.

In kingmaker lanka and kailasa took them out with little trouble.

No. Lanka took them out alone. Kailasa was not involved. And it was only because Hinnom was VERY badly played that they lost.

Hinnom tried to invade Kailasa, and kailasa was able to crush the invasion force. After that Lanka and Midgard double teamed Hinnom and it fell fast. So it was actually 3v1 and i dont think that this is any indicator of how strong hinnom really is.

I think in a Elite Vetern Player game Hinnom may be taken cautiously because the Vets all know to take Hinnom out early and HOW to do it.

In lesser skilled games I would support Hinnom being banned as in all the games I've played (and thats really not very many) Hinnom jumps out of the gate and never looks back.

By the time everyone decides to quit squabbling and do something about it...its too late.

Game over and people start going AI.

Its our own fault for the most part but most of us really DON'T know how to stop them.

Just an opionion...

I played all the hinnom nations quite a bit.
Hinnom is strong but Sauromatia, lanka, Niefel, and possibly mictlan take it. Probably Arco does well as well. (Size 6 elephants trump size 5 chariots).

I don't consider the other two over balanced.

However, I can't vote in the poll, since you can't vote all no...
