Rough timeline with my opinion:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Early game:

Theodoros ate everything and was scary (awake pretender stone snake)
Sauromatia attacked Niefelheim and got punched int he face for it

The Fall of Theodoros

Theodoros attacked Formatia
Formatia, Marvarni, Niefelheim and Agartha attacked Theo
(Little defence pact between marvarni and formatia, then added the others)

Theodoros falls, Sauromatia sieged
Vanheim grows and looks scary

Vanheim Wars

The Anti-Theo Alliance turns on Vanheim
Harsh war, eventually somewhat defeated.

Xibalba & Marverni conflict, due to scouts with "guards" (so just armys) all over Marvs turf,
harms anti-Vanheim alliance greatly. Vanheim also just fights back real good.

The Mess:

Marverni fights Vanheim & Xibalba, but Agartha grows far to large.
Desperate attacks on Agartha follow, supported by Formaria & Niefelheim
Assaults from Xibalba and Vanheim destroy Maverni lands (Xibalbas army could have just straight up walked into my capital and killed my boar-mothers honestly...)

The Late Game:

Peptually locked in a 3 front wars, Maverni is useless and Agartha employs the MASSIVE gem & Research lead form the savty of the water and pulls ahead.
Again, Agartha could honestly just have marched the army standing around right into my Capital without much issue, but making me come to them is a advantage.

Agartha secures all thrones (except one locked down by marverni) and wins

[Shadowlord]

I'll sign up as EA Xibalba.

[chaoticag]

Signing up for this. I'll pick a nation at some point though.

Edit: you know what, Niefelheim. I'll go with that.

[Jilladilla]

I'm going with Agartha, watch out Shadowlord, I'm contesting you for the cave ownership!

[Cheeetar]

In as EA Sauromatia.

[Karlito]

I am in, but will need some time to figure out my nation.

[ThtblovesDF]

No rush, I'm thinking of closing sign up at the months end or when it fills up to 8.

I'm going with Marverni, Naked Dudes vs Lizards, Bats, Bugs & Giants seems cool. Plus, I actually know what many of the nature spells do now ~

[chaoticag]

If I recall, they have sacred boars. They also get iron boars when they cast that spell that gets you iron pigs. Fun fact, Marverni can perform blood sacrifices through their priests despite not typically having access to blood paths naturally. It's kinda limited in utility as you'd imagine.

But yeah other than that not sure I know much about Marverni other than them being a good earth nation with nature on the side.

Really? I thought it was earth/astral... Let me look it up...

Yup, Earth/Astral with a side helping of nature and a tiny bit of water.
Though really, if you were expecting big nature magic, this wont get you that outside of communions.

[chaoticag]

Well, it's why I mentioned nature on the side, though it would be expensive to boost it much higher, they can make thistle maces, getting them to 3N1S at least, then that's a moonvine bracelet. If they get some blood access, they could get an armor of thorns for more nature, and then craft a treelords staff. Hella expensive, but doable. Alternatively they can trade for some of those things as needed. Should help them keep a mage for rituals at least.

[ThtblovesDF]

I sure love trading, hopefully we can get some of that this game around.

From my faint memory Argartha is a total powerhouse and I personally would judge it the strongest nation so far, followed by the giants (which are better early game, or?)

Just don't pick a map with a massive cave system and you'll be mostly alright
Really, EA Agarthan troops are mostly uber-chaff, with a solid mage lineup and great summons

Now, strongest nation? I would say it's mostly player skill and how much their nation aligns with their personal playstyle.

Well, it's why I mentioned nature on the side, though it would be expensive to boost it much higher, they can make thistle maces, getting them to 3N1S at least, then that's a moonvine bracelet.

Except that the natural 2N1S needed for that is literally a 1 in 16 chance. On the Elder Druids. Which are expensive as hell.

[Shadowlord]

If you can't get one, you can always blow 30 germs empowering someone to N2.

So, map suggestions anyone?

[chaoticag]

If we're going with a full 8, I nominate this map.

[Karlito]

FYI: province count on that map is 127+25, since it doesn't say on the description.

I am leaning toward Vanheim as my nation pick.
