Maybe I should rephrase the question. Which EA nations can't get a raiding force with < 400 gp and low level < lvl 4 spells?

What about Ermor?
Van? Ok, they can bless but are their sacreds worth it?

In EA? The answer is probably none. R'lyeh is your closest bet, followed by Atlantis. The others all can manage with either elite troops or commanders.

I don't know, EA Agartha is pretty marginal.

I've played r'lyeh. I've played agartha. I think agartha is worse.
