I'm astonished that Helheim has gotten no votes yet.

I personally think that me caelum is rather weak, but ulm is even worse. ME caelum has only two redeeming qualities- elephants, and mobility. Their mainline troops are even worse than ulm's, apart from that.

Thunderstrike? High Seraphs are pretty damn dangerous.

Everything.

As a rule you can't go wrong with demonic monkies.

People seem to think that Lanka is some kind of super nation, even though they've only ever won one Multiplay game, and that was a Newbie game. Heck, in just about every other MP game I've played they don't even make it to the midgame.

Lanka has the best late-game of any nation, IMO, and should have a very powerful early game, if played well. Their middle game isn't terrible, especially if played carefully.

Heh. The Multiplay scores don't agree.

Sure, the "Victorious Nations/Hall of Fame" scores aren't a truly representative sample, but I've never even heard of someone winning a MP game with Lanka (other than me in a single Newbie game).

I didnt bother mentioning it this time to avoid the usual slam but....
Again, the poll says nothing about the type of game. The questions are such as "What Early Era Nation do you play with the most and why?". With more SPers than MPers in general, you cant take for granted that the choice was made for trying to win a multiplayer game. The poll-creator might have made it that way but we cant be sure people answered that way.

Maverni is a great theme. And Lanka is fun to play.

Just a possibility.
