Ma Ctis should be played with order 3 growth 3 with 9 or 10 dominion in my humble opinion. You get a gold bonus with Ma Ctis, so order, growth and high dominion make you the richest nation in the entire dominions universe.

A small maps can potentially make turmoil/luck good for any nation, since one of the main arguments against luck is the cap on the number of events per turn.

Ermor might be another candidate since you'll lose the taxable population soon anyway.

LA Ermor and R'lyeh are classic examples of a Turmoil/Luck nation.

I liked playing EA T'ien Ch'i with turm3/luck3, the extra gem income was great, and with the not-so-good human-infantry it's more or less worth it. Just spam clams and work up your national summons, which are quite good with a little blessing and buffs (At least in CBM).

Heh, the only thing LA R'lyeh is a classic example of these days is the devastating power of the Nerfbat.

EA Pangaea, I'd frankly say it depends imho. If you're going for maenad factory and foul spawns (one requiring turmoil, one luck, both lotsa Pans - so good synergy), feel free - but if you're going the Gorgon-blessed White Centaurs-Minotaurs-Satyrs way, I'd not suggest T/L at all.

Id say EA Pangaea has 3 options that would work with these scales.
The maenad factory, the vine monster factory built around their national spells, or the stealth armies.

But of course it should be obvious that none of the suggested nations are going to work for anyone who isnt looking to slide off the standard warfare "purchased-army meeting purchased-army"

Kailasa has rather expensive troops and mages. How are you going to mass them with turmoil? ^^

Try, you'll be surprised

I think EA Arcoscephale is actually quite a good luck nation. Prophets - with sloth and magic scales - are almost ridiculously cheap and effective researchers, meaning that you have the option of using very little gold in the beginning of the game, where the sparseness of gold is most felt.

And Arcoscephale can make very good use of the extra gems.
