We want to experiment with higher end spells and globals and such. We don't want a rush game.

The other two are training me a bit on MP, in a less intense environment than MP with large numbers of players.
You must be trained against the best MP opponents. Only then will you learn Fedslayer. Yes, you must die time and time again to learn the intracies of Dominions.

People seem unsure of LA Pyth's abilities so I thought I would chime in. I'm playing LA Pyth in an MP game at the moment and I am finding them to be a solid nation. Thier indy expansion via Hydras is astonishing - just astonishing! I might even go so far as to say that you could use LA Pyth as a rushing nation.

After the early game tho they do flounder a bit with lackluster non-cap troops and scatter magic paths. But I've thought of some strats that could build a good early game and a very strong middle. Overall I would say that LA Pythium is a tricky nation to operate but strong if played well.

I think the strongest are R'lyeh, Ermor, Mictlan, and C'tis. I also personally like LA Jotunheim (Utgard)

But I cannot really think of a really weak nation apart from maybe Abysia, and on the last forum I frequented, LA Vanheim (Midgard) was considered completely crippled, because of its lack of recruit anywhere priests, and limited magic in general.

It seems that you guys do not think so about Vanheim, so I wonder what we are missing.
