Sweet!
(Now all we need is a 3rd mp game with MA...

)
I had originally made a floating call for whichever was left over out of Mankind's Towers of Chelms, the Human Jomon Daimyos, or Ermor's Ashen Empires (because hey I might as well win.

) Whoever first chose the other two, I'd auto-take the third, and if no one took those picks I'd choose whichever seems to best balance the other chosen factions. (I've never played any LA factions at all, btw.)
In alphabetical order thus far:
Airboy: called Abysia for EA, so may or may not still be playing LA Abysia's Blood of Humans, mostly blood mages with some fire giants.
Birdyman: goes with Midgard, the LA version of Vanheim, somewhat balancing against Utgard if Corwin decides to take the LA Niefels.
Corwin123: currently unknown, wanted to play Niefelheim in EA.
Utgard the Well of Urd would be their descendants in LA. Lots of frost giants, some vikings and witches, very scary on the field. No bows or heavy cav, but their version of light cav probably counts as anyone else's heavy cav! They're also the only faction that can throw the spell named after Dom3's developers, "Illwinter".

If Corwin still wants to play Niefel, this will certainly be the recommended faction.
Huw the Poo: wins with the Ashen Empire (unless maybe Bogarus can stop him).

JasonPratt: Based on the list so far (Sat afternoon 2:00 my time), with the Ashen Empire taken and a lot of western human factions on the board, I've decided to go with the eastern human Jomon Daimyos, the samurai faction. HITEN MITSURYUGI STYLE, AMAKAKERU RYO NO HIRAMEKI!
Parone: goes with C'tis, the mummy lizards of the Desert Tombs!

Phobos:
Bogarus (a nation added in the 3.14 patch, so not mentioned in the printed instructions, probably). Basically Dom3's version of medieval Russian Orthodox, mixed with some pagan Russian mythology. A fine choice, and one of the relatively more ethical factions. Possibly our only hope against the Ashen Empire.
Undercovergeek: picks Black Forest Ulm, basically the westward next door neighbors of Bogarus. Relatively little magic (kind of death oriented), lots of ironclad (and foresty) buttkicking.
Yskonyn (the game host): still unknown
That's nine players so far (not counting whoever may join the game after this post) -- have I missed any?
