Tbh, unless you have both Lanka AND Mictlan I don't see the "Hot" team beating Nief/Caelum/Helheim. EA Aby isn't particularly impressive, and Ctis and Kailasa are decent but not powerhouses.

but are Caelum and Helheim powerhouses...?
Mictlan/Lanka vs Niefelheim is the powerhouse matchup Imho.
btw Chris,can I count on you for this game? perhaps on the heat team seeing as Trumanator and Llama wish to be on the cold team

I've given up new games (of anything) for Lent. So, if you want to wait till Easter, sure. Although I'm getting kind of tired of mictlan =).

EA Caelum is definitely a powerhouse. Thunderstrike spam + EK SCs = awesomesauce.

Oh, and its Lama, 1 L

The pretender of Mictlan wants to drink the blood of your virgins!

It looks like we may need someone to set the map up for us... depending on victory conditions.

I agree that the Hots should have both Mictlan & Lanka. If you want to dilute them a little then increase the game to 4 v 4.

I think that Helheim, Niefel & Caelum is a very strong team. Not necessarilly tougher than Mictlan & Lanka plus one other but probably stronger than if the hots have just one of those bless/blood powers. Blood takes a while to get going and all those three Colds have very good expansion even without the double+ blessing of Mictlan & Lanka.

Ulm is a viable option for the forging for Niefel. But I wouldn't give up Helheim for them as Helheim are far more interesting to play and can blood sacrifice, and a blood inspired dom push by the hots is a danger.

I would like to play. But I don't want to be stuck with Abysia no matter how thematic they are I am very happy to play Mictlan or Lanka, but only if the other is playing as well. I don't want to be the single great blessed blood hope of the hot team

I would be very happy to play any of the Cold powers.

But I am also happy not to play, in which case I can set up the map placements for you if tell me which map you are going to use.
