>I would rate Pangaea third after Pythium and Arco in the top races list just ahead of C'tis.

In terms of fun to play perhaps...

I'm a fan of Pangaea, but in terms of strength it's nowhere near third place. IMHO, it's not even in the top 50%.

While the troops are very good, they aren't great. More importantly Pangean magic is expensive and lacks versatility.

I have a hard time seeing Pangaea as more powerfull than Caelum, Man, Jotunheim, Vanheim, Machaka, Atlantis, or Rlyeh, let alone Pythium or Arcoscephale.

Unfortunately as much as I enjoy Pangaea, it is nowhere near as inherently strong as other nations.

It just doesn't have the kicking power of many of the others.

One note I have found though; I can't play T'ien Ch'i base with the kind of mobility and strength I can than with Spring and Autumn. It is the only forced Turmoil nation that I feel is close to the top 5. And while this doesn't apply to Pangaea it would be nice that they would make any turmoil intensive design as equally powerful as others. This is where I feel it applies to Pangaea.
