What I meant was that they don't look fun. Look at recruitment screen of MA Agartha. With like 65 nations to play I find many many more interesting nations to choose [not based on strength]. I got LA Agartha in Kingmaker because no one else wanted them, and I love them now

MA Agartha is not about their recruitment, it's about national summons..... and thematic feel. But mostly the summons.

Good grief, agarthans really only have one eye? They didnt really need to be any worse!

Yea, they look sad, but they are a nation going extinct. Their sad look is quite thematic actually. And I agree, EA/MA agartha is mostly a nation of summons (MA especially).

LA Agartha is the best of the three because they actually have decent mages. Ironic, considering how EA is generally supposed to be the "magic-heavy" era.

It's not so much a matter of making them worse as explaining why they're so bad (in terms of attack/defense/precision). Aside from that, unless you're facing eye shields, the practical difference between one/two/many eyes is essentially nil.

P.S. I guess it does prevent you from using Eye of Aiming to boost Oracles' precision.

Y'all are nuts. EA-Agartha *rocks*, but it depends on the game settings.
EA's strengths are not apparent from their units, so you have to look deeper than than that to see the synergies for this race.

Very thematic. Very good.

But they *do* have rotten attack/defense/precision, and it's because they have only one eye. That doesn't mean they're a rotten nation.

EA Agartha is one of the toughest Nations around, if properly played. MA is less so, only because they're harder to play, with their kooky bless summons. Still not a really weak Nation.
