That is good because both AN and Nomad have benefits in ice age. AN starts out knowing the location of plow and Nomad gets there oasis. The plow was huge for me winning an ice age game as the AN.
Another kingdom that really gains from ice age format is the Cimarians getting better production in winter compared to other kingdoms. And gaining bonuses to attack in winter. If the CI ever had a chance to win it would be in ice age.
DU also with there grove getting 20k free food. SO and DE very good for the units they get.

If people don't mind, I would like to join this game. I may have to drop out at some point to work on Maelstrom so a substitute may fill for me but I'll play the IL in 8. I played the RA in my last Ice Age game and want to see how a wizard kingdom fares in the same region.
I also want to see the new map snapshot for Ice Age games. It has animated snow in the background with icicles along the top. The map itself is the same as a normal game but the background surrounding the map has animated snow to help indicate that the game is an Ice Age version. I tried to find an animated GIF with snowfall for the map itself which would be pretty cool but I couldn't find one that was transparent enough to show the map's contents underneath so having snowfall for the web page surrounding the map will have to do for now.
For those new to Ice Age games, plan on being aggressive. Even for a balanced kingdom like the Elves or Rangers, reinforcements every 5 turns will force you to conquer other regions in order to feed your troops. Ice Age is designed to be more aggressive like that than just sitting back and waiting so be prepared for some action in this game.
Here is our list so far:
Draugr - DE
Vballmichael - SO
Unclemike - IL
Canticar - Du
