Default POLL - Weakest Among All

Instead of talking about [most powerful] which is quite boring and fuzzing, I would like to learn some opinions about [weakest-among-all] from you guys.

What do you consider the weakest one among all nations in each era? Vote 3 worst in your opinion and Let's try to get more buff than nerf in the future patch!

* before you throw on me I'd like to let you know that there ARE fillers in this poll. Please don't yell "WTF why is this nation listed in the weakest poll! no way could it be!" on me, thanks

Yomi is the weakest early age? Only thing that isn't good about them is their early game. They have an intense middle and late game. Dai Oni ROCK.

I am curious, why are Agartha and T'ien C'hi considered weak? Especially mid T'ien C'hi, I consider them rather powerful, but obviously I am very inexperienced.

Why do 90% of polls disallow viewing from people who don't vote? Some of us aren't qualified to judge the weakest faction, or the best magic item, etc. Our newby votes would just skew the results because we'd be guessing.

We'd still like to see the results though.

Ditto! I haven't even played all those nations yet, much less ranked them.

The problem with polls is anyone can vote. Which is fine. But you really need the opinion of the hardcore mp players to ascertain the truth. I did not vote on the early or late ages because I do not consider myself qualified to vote.

How many others abstained because they are not"experts?"

But to understand the balance issues of the races of the various races you need to know how all the spells work, and the units and mages of every other race in the eras.

I didn't vote for 3 per era as I don't consider many of these weak besides MA where I voted for Agartha, Ulm, and Tien Chi. Mictlan is on my list for MA as well, but with only 3 to pick, I chose these.

Early I voted for Marverni only. EA R'Lyeh has some problems getting a strong foothold on land early, but they have good mages and the Mind Lords have Enslave Mind as a normal attack. I can see where some people shake their heads at playing them though. I was surprised to see Yomi getting any weak votes. I have always done very well with them, barring my first ever MP game where the issue was my poor play, not their performance.

Late I chose only Abysia as they are a notorious underachiever. The rest I have not played much or have done well with.
