What will your first game be and why?

the few Good summons (Harbingers and Angels) were actually not that good.

No sure how much I can say here, but I'm fairly sure you'll be impressed.

Just one thing - you might want to play as Marignon instead of Man. It should be easier to test out the angel-themed summons with them.

Wait, what? You mean there will be summons that use holy power?

I never said that.

Marignon is better at summoning angel-themed beings than Man. I wonder how many ways that can be interpreted!

However, even if (some) priests can summon units, it's not this kind of summoning. You might remember that all priestly power is now holy - to the nation using it, at least. It was mentioned back in one of the Dev Diaries almost two years back IIRC. There are still reanimating nations, but their priests are just like all the others. Or at least pretty close.

Your turn!

The traditional atul method of First Game:

1) Apply for upcoming MP, preferably way before the game shipment has arrived.
2) Choose a nation you know nothing of just based on a hunch.
3) Create god, test for the first 10 turns, play MP, learn as you go, thrive until more than half of the remaining players gang up on you, go down in a blaze of glory.

Worked with Dom1 (Marignon, paladins are cool) and Dom2 (TC S&A, if you love them you can't be totally evil), so there's no reason for it not working the third time also.

Practice is for the weak.
