Favorite new nation?
For those lucky enough to either enjoy the game already or practically get there via Endoperez's fantastic Screenies thread, what's your favorite of the new (or radically remodeled) nations?
I think mine is fairly obviously the Dreamlands, although I'll admit some love for the Conan-themed Ulm - Enigma of Steel, which gives Ulm a whole new taste in terms of stealth while also tossing in their amazing new sacred units who, with a Fire blessing and perhaps a second of your choice (I'd say Nature or Water for optimal effect), cut through the enemy like a knife in butter.
But definitely the Dreamlands for me, as I'm always a fan of Dominion effects and Lovecraft, so merging the two is chocolate and peanut butter for me. The fact that you get to keep using the Void Gate on top of the fantastic new insanity effects, the newly-enslaved Atlantean mages and priests which shore up R'lyeh's previous weaknesses in those categories, and the fact that it's now the only water nation in the Late Era makes R'lyeh Dreamlands my favorite new nation of Dom3.
But enough time with Enigma of Steel, or possibly Shinuyama, might change my mind. ;-)
