Re: Which nations represent order and good?
Would those Russian slaves be Kholops? What a way to get out of debt, if your masters had the option to kill you. I suppose the elites didn't have to worry about this.

Re: Which nations represent order and good?
Maybe, unfortunately, I lent my copy of "Russia's First Civil War" to my brother and cannot look it up, though I'm pretty sure the author uses the term slave. It was during this time, early 1600's, that those who had sold themselves into slavery were made into permanent slave, essentially enserfing the Russian peasants at a time the rest of Europe had freed their serfs.

Re: Which nations represent order and good?
Good is objectively defined by god, so all nations are good nations in the eyes of their gods.

Re: Which nations represent order and good?
Bogarus religion isn't bad, they just have some very fanatical members, Yomi is not evil it is jut very chaotic, and Abysia is not evil, it is just a land of fire elementals

Re: Which nations represent order and good?
Not to go too deep into this thread necromancy...
Isn't Yomi a nation of cannibalistic demons? (Well not really cannibals, they eat people not each other.) Or am I misremembering? Oni are traditionally evil, I believe.
Abysia is, especially in the later ages, all about demon summoning flame people. It's the demon summoning, not the fire that makes them evil. EA I'm not as familiar with.

Re: Which nations represent order and good?
LA Patala is good, I'm surprised it got so few votes.
I think Van nations are really pretty good too.
Oceania, Man, Tien'chi and Jomon are good too.

Re: Which nations represent order and good?
Oceania is really (really!) big on racial superiority and purity. Patala nagas totally exploit their monkey population. Van are warlike conquerors who live for the thrill of combat and sacrifice their battle captives to their gods. You won't hear me arguing that their aren't more evil nations in the game, bacause there definitely are, but they certainly aren't shining paragons of morality.

Re: Which nations represent order and good?
Vans all have blood magic and I think they can all blood sacrifice too? This alone puts them in the evil camp. I am not sure the sneaky/pillage side to them really helps either  Granted they are the enemies of the Giants (another evilish race) but I think they are still more evil than good. |

Re: Which nations represent order and good?
they are sort of the good guys in norse mythology I'd say so that makes them good from a certain point of view blood sacrifice or not. Who are you to judge them

Isn't LA Patala a small cadre of otherworldly serpents who rule their monkey underclass through hypnotism? |
