Oh, I remember, if we chose Nordland, then we would stop the wasteland from succeeding from the empire! On, top of that do to some of the things that have traveled abroad over the years, the Crown of Nagash is probably still lurking somewhere in the more dark and dreary places of Nordland, more specifically to the barrows of ancient barbarian chieftains.
That and, I don't mean to be biased this is just my idea of the list that we will get from each choice and there can be more up's and down's then just these, these are just the listed ones:
Nordland: Goods: Lots of trade at sea and abroad across the continent, tons of navy support, and The richest city to make money in the empire. Bads: Norscan raiders, wood elves, beastmen, and greedy merchants causing trouble
Talabeachland: Goods: in the heart of the empire, a great river to fish and trade from, excellent archers and skirmishers, and your really liked by a forest God, Bads: Lots and lots of beastmen, not much open to any for farming and such, You cant do anything else for income except cutting trees, and finally you can't advance your technology, because Taal HATES Technology, and he is your chief God
