Marverni are hard because they are (imo) slightly underpowered compared to the common national units in the Early Eras.

They are competitive vs. Ermor, Ulm, Tien Chi and similiar human themed nations. They are rather weak against the more mythical nations like Vanheim, Neifelheim, Caelum, Bandar Log, Ctis and the others.


Eponi Cavalry make your best "tanks". They can't dish out that much damage, but they can stand and take hits while your infantry close. Always make some Sacred Carnutes, mainly for their morale buffing ability, although they add some decent +attack capacity.

Try to tech up to Gifts of Heaven/Blade Winds. Marverni has easy access to Seeing Stones/Astral Windows, so keep an eye on your opponenents. They have a good gem variety and can make mechanical men.

Their trouble is just surviving long enough to be able to use their Druids' potential.
