Which nation is the best?

[apoger]

A> There is no best

B> It's Pythium.

I don't know about you guys but I think ermor is the best...

.... well for starting players I guess... for one thing ermor benefits to dominion settings that other nations consider bad for a province like high turmoil or death... This provides ermor players a steady source of troops that are easy to maintain (they're dead)....

Why do so many players hate ermor opponents? Becuz they're difficult to beat!

And for all the reasons you just gave, it isn't. Ermor requires the least amount of skill to play. And isn't the whole point of playing a strategy game to think? (Yeah, I know, it's to have fun, but you can have that in a mindless FPS.)

Ermor isn't hard to beat, it's just hard to accept the loss of troops for gaining nothing. It's the mentality behind it.

The dying dominion themes Ermor are in actuality on the weaker end of the stick during MP. And suffer from the stigma of SP

Broken Empire is decent, but it lacks versitility and without a cheap researcher and their upper end mage being combined to a priest you have to pay double the price to get a decent mage and decent priest they have alot to work against. Being able to cheaply raise ghouls that tear up your population doesn't quite cut it.

The best nation is ....


... the one you are currently playing...

or...

... in MP, the one that is kicking the *** of the one you are currently playing so it is so obviously unbalanced you will start playing them next game and start kicking *** too, wich surprise you somewhat because it is the exact same reason you start playing your current nation, are you starting to notice a trend or am I just wildly fond of hyper-inflated sentece that just feel like they will never finish, ever.

I also took the poll as "most fun" rather than "best".

I only have the demo right now, but of those races I'd say I've had the most fun playing Arco and Pythium. Of course, I've loved every demo game I've played thus far...even the ones where I've been trounced early.

Oh, do get the full Version. You'll love the other races, the higher level spells, and the ability to play a game BEYOND TURN $&*%! FORTY!

Although interestingly, someone playing the sold Version (I don't know about the 2.06 update) of the full game can join an internet game hosted by a demo player, and play any race they choose.
