I'm quite sure Agartha or Oceania would.

And yes MA all nations are in the game.

Got say, I am pleased with Pythium...

Never actually played this nation before thou, so will after ponder my options.

That's one of the big drawbacks with nerfing gem generators, you make already very weak nations like Machaka and Oceania even more sucky.

Oh btw with so many nations on such a small map, is there the serious possibilty of nations home provinces starting adjacent to each another?

I ran a few tests and it didn't happen, but I suppose it's possible.

MA Ermor? Damn, but I've never even looked at the nation. Should be fun...

Damn? No, no, I think the word you're looking for is "lucky bastard"

Well, my money's on you.

Bets anyone?
I'd say Ashdod or Ermor... Maybe even Jotunheim.
Or R'lyeh if they get lucky with void summons and Oceania doesn't eat them for breakfast (start in lake for instance).

i doubt who is which nation will really have any impact on who wins....

Executor · #8 August 5th, 2009, 06:21 AM

My money's on Ermor, Vanheim or Ashdod.

I think R'lyeh should crush either Oceania or Atlantis in the water, with these map settings. (All right, I admit I think R'lyeh should crush Oceania/Atlantis with any map settings.)

Pythium should do okay with its Hydras and extra gem income, and I don't know if Arco and Bandar can get many elephants out, but if they do then Very Difficult research makes it difficult for most nations to counter them without a size 6 god.

Put a high death magic ghost in fron tof the elephants, with awe +2 and fear > +6 the big beasts will run away and trample their friends like there's no tomorrow.
I don't think we'll see many ghost king pretenders though.
