I'm good to go.

[Il Palazzo]

Ready to go.

[Jilladilla]

I'm ready. Might not have the OP Super Optimised Nations Of Destiny on my list, but they seem good enough.

[USEC_OFFICER]

I'm ready to start when you guys are. _{No... My precious Nefton. ;~;}

[E. Albright]

Just waiting on... Karlito now?

[Karlito]

Okay. Let's go.

[E. Albright]

All righty then! I've pulled a random sequence of 7 from random.org for our draft order. Here it is, done up round-robin style:

• Darkwind3 - Dobgan (-1001676910)
• Il Palazzo - Qurghannia  (-1206538117)
• Karlito - Luha (1103089966)
• AlStar - Lissikos (-292053580)
• E. Albright - Djedhur (-1047122704)
• USEC_OFFICER - Nefton (1007769634)
• Jilladilla - Urumsoi (-1865227816)
• Jilladilla - Shansahr (-2115897110)
• USEC_OFFICER - Veroor (-2079095603)
• E. Albright - Sinam (2012634178)
• AlStar - Zawtep (-1367155203)
• Karlito - Apollpos (1991027251)
• Il Palazzo - Shela (321942488)
• Darkwind3 - Obliheim (-2033449213)

Once everyone has picked their two favorite nations, everyone will nix one of the two nations chosen by the next person on the list. So:

• Darkwind3 nixes Il Palazzo
• Il Palazzo nixes Karlito
• Karlito nixes AlStar
• AlStar nixes E. Albright
• E. Albright nixes USEC_OFFICER
• USEC_OFFICER nixes Jilladilla
• Jilladilla nixes Darkwind3

(The nixing can happen all at once since sequence isn't necessarily important, although I suppose it could be, hehehe...)

[Darkwind3]

I'll start off by taking Dobgan (e: seed -1001676910). I may as well dream big! Somebody else can take Nefton (and have it nixed, too, just like Dobgan).

[Il Palazzo]

Qurghannia,  -1206538117
Power armour brigades ftw!

[Karlito]

Speaking of dreaming big...

Luha 1103089966


And as a fairly inconsequential aside, one of Luha's national heroes is supposed to have #fear 0 and #heretic, but I don't see any indication of those abilities in-game. Anyone know what's up with that?

[AlStar]

Lissikos -292053580

As an aside, everyone has managed thus far to pick a nation that I didn't have on my list... although I think that Luha was on my list, but got accidentally erased in a tragic copy-paste accident (I had a couple of those, believe it or not).

edit: Wait, there it is - I had it in my "3rd tier" picks - I found the extreme costs of all the troops to be just too crippling. It'll be interesting to see how you handle it.

[Darkwind3]

I was thinking the same thing, until you picked Lissikos! Several of the nations I listed had Mystic-style randoms; I think they're a pretty powerful setup for a mage, especially for the cost, and can make an otherwise-unimpressive nation. Not that Lissikos is unimpressive outside of the Lord of the Cult.

e: wording

[AlStar]

I came for the cheap, potentially very powerful mages (+MM3, +not cap only), but was actually pleased to note that both the lizard light warrior (bite+spear+net) and the lizard warrior of Lissikos (bite+flail) perform very well (against indies, anyway.) Sacreds are a little lackluster, although siege +5 isn't something to sneeze at.

[E. Albright]

Hmm, only one of my three top picks is gone, and we're almost done with the first round. Hmm. Hmm. So the question becomes "Which of the two remaining might actually be unassuming enough to survive four more picks?", with the honest answer being neither, ofc. But one must try. So... let's get cappy:

Djedhur (-1047122704)

[USEC_OFFICER]

I don't have time to grab the seed right now, but obviously I'm going for Nefton.
