Default What will your first game be and why?

In my first game, I will play as Abysia Middle Era vs. a single AI Mictlan on a moderate to large size map. I choose Middle Era because the races should be closest to the Dom2 races in this era. That will make for a better testing ground. The difficulty will be normal, since I want to test the AI on equal terms. My other reasons are as follows:

1) Mictlan was probably played the worst by the AI of all the nations in Dom2, so this will give me a good way to test if the AI has improved very much. If the AI can give me a good game as Mictlan, then I will be very surprised and pleased.

2) I choose to play Abysia, because I want to see how blood magic and blood hunting has changed in Dom3. The micro was supposed to be reduced, and the micro was probably at its worst with the blood nations. Therefore, I should be able to see if there has been any improvement in this high micro area. If there is, it should bode well for micro in other areas as well.

3) I like blood magic, but I feel some of the blood summons (like Devils) are a little overpowered. Also, I thought some of the blood spells in Dom2 were almost useless and I never used them. It will be interesting to see if these issues have been addressed. Also, I can't wait to see if there are any cool new blood summons. I would love to see some Devil Lords, for example

Your turn!
