Default Re: No more MP for Hinnom?

I need to do some more research but from what I can tell so far, I'd say that relative to other nations in their era, Ashdod completely dominates MA nations and is more unbalanced relative to the landscape than Hinnom.

Ashdod's Anakites are berserking, sacred, FR75, with 50HP, high MR (15) high protection (14), decent combat stats for giants (att 12/ Def 15) and not outrageously expensive at 125 gold (Vans cost 90 gold by comparison), especially given the nation has Heat +2 preference meaning most build will be Heat +3 for an extra 120 points. Since they have innate berserking, no need to go N9 but you can settle for a cheaper N bless for solid regeneration. With the typical E9 bless these guys are monstrous to stop.

They will tear through almost anything the MA nations can throw at them. Hydras will drop like flies. Woodsmen have lower MR, lower combat stats, not naturally berserking, lower protection, etc.

Ashdod: Strong PD - national summons...
