Any Good Non-Bless Strategy Nations

[Sorlakind]

Add up (only MA SP):

- MA Ulm with a rainbow pretender. This was already mentioned but it's worth repeating. It may be one of the weakest nations around, but it's pretty easy to figure a general strategy for it. And even being one of the weakest you'll mop the floor with the AI's armies

- MA Rlyeh. No sacred troops besides the starspawn priests and the void summons (which you cannot count on, because void summoning is iffy). But it is a very powerful nation, magically speaking. And you start underwater, which gives you some leeway for mistakes/learning/turtling. And you have assassins. And you can set up communions easily. And a Visitor with whatever Vastnesses you can gather positively rocks. And you can clam-hoard. And lots more.

- MA Tien Chi. It has the (big) problem of its best mages being vulnerable to magic duel - and since they are expensive you come out losing. But you have nice troops including crossbows and good cavalry, consorts to disrupt an enemy's economy to a crawl and a wide magical flexibility.

- MA Man. Massive armies of longbows backed up by wind guide and mage artillery. Stealth armies of wardens backed up by Call of the wild. Massive seeking arrows to kill enemy leaders. Bards to disrupt the enemy's economy. The very useful Man's songs that mitigate somewhat their weak priests. Stealth monks to preach in enemy territory. Elite cavalry in the knights of Avalon.

Best regards,
