POLL: Nation Preferences

[Meglobob]

Lanka is a great nation. I can't understand why K is saying its not. He has played them and played them well. His EA Lanka position in Perpetuality was simply awesome.

Lanka has a good early game due to good bless troops, reanimation and powerful air magic.

Late game you have blood/death/nature (for Gift of Reason) magic to power yourself victory.

Its a strong nation without being completely over the top like Helheim used to be.

Perhaps he is scared Illwinter will get out there evil, evil nerf stick again and spoil all our fun?

Maverni is a great theme.

I agree fully. I love the theme. I would just never take them again in MP.

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.

Sorry, but I'm feeling belligerent right now:

What is it with you and this comment? Isn't it fairly clear in the question - which nation do you play the MOST! I think I'm echoing someone else here, but uhhh, doesn't most mean, with greatest frequency over a broad sample? Not, like, which nation do you play the most when you feel like stomping the computer in Early Era and can choose only from Hellheim and Lanka?

It's not that your point isn't valid - it'd be nice to see a poll or two with some more specific questions, but it'd also be nice not to have to read you griping and complaining about it all the time. If it bothers you that much, you can always create polls of your own. You have more posts than me by a factor of, like 40, and _I_ managed to figure it out. Really, it's not that difficult. I'd even vote, unless it was _really_ whacky.

Thunderstrike? High Seraphs are pretty damn dangerous.

But unvaried. And most other nations can spam their own powerful evocations, often for less money.

Seraphs can become gods if you Wish for power a couple of times.

Of course Lanka is the best early nation, Ravana has 10 heads and 20 arms, the Chandrahas moon blade and the biggest harem you've ever seen.
