====== EA Marverni, Time of Druids ======

===== Lore =====
Maverni is a nation of tribal chiefdoms guided by Druids and religious magistrates. The tribes have a long history of war and infighting, but recent developments have joined the tribes in pursuit of a single goal. The most prominent tribes are the Marverni, the Ambibates, the Eponi and the Carnutes. The Sequani, though a small tribe, are influential due to the large number of Druids among them. The smiths of the Marverni tribe are reputedly the inventors of chainmail and most nobles of the tribe use it. Lowborn warriors fight bare-chested. Both wear tattoos with dormant magical powers. The Ambibates are known for their martial skills. The Eponi nobles fight on horseback and are the only cavalry available to the nation. The Carnute tribe guards the Sacred Forest of Carnutes where the Druids gather every year. The Carnute warriors are able to go berserk when wounded. Boars are a sacred symbol to the Marverni nation.

This is the Early Age's nation of [[Communions]] -- your Stargazers plug into your Druids, and you get to cast fancy stuff as a result. Your troops aren't quite notable on their own, but you have access to virtually all of the important buff spells. You also share ??Awaken Tattoos?? (Enchantment 3) with Sauromatia, which turns all of your Light Infantry into Heavy Infantry and all of your Light Cavalry into Heavy Cavalry. This is one of the rare few nations that get Blood Sacrifice without Blood Mages, too, incentivizing you to bootstrap into that economy.

*Elder Druids have two 100% randoms and one 10% random, all of which share the same possible paths ({{:misc:magic:water.png?15&nolink}}{{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}{{:misc:magic:astral.png?15&nolink}}{{:misc:magic:nature.png?15&nolink}}). Each one has a 52.5% (21/40) chance of having {{path>W1}}, an 8.75% (7/80) chance of having {{path>W2}}, and a 0.15625% (1/640) chance of having {{path>W3}}. Water is listed as uncommon overall because you aren't guaranteed even a single level of Water on any of your Mages, with 21/40 being your highest odds of getting a level on a Mage.

===== Units =====

Marverni's troops are a variety of human infantry, augmented by medium cavalry. There are a variety of sword-and-shield humans, axe-and-shield berserkers, light javelineers and slingers, and medium cavalry (??Eponi Knight??s). There are cheaper low-resource bare-chested warriors and noble warriors with reasonable armor for the Early Age. All of Marverni's troops have [[Magic Tattoo]]s which can be awakened with ??Awaken Tattoos??; these provide [[invulnerability]] and a variety of stat boosts, which will make your troops fairly resilient to nonmagical weapons. 

While the infantry are unexceptional (humans with swords and shields), their solid stats, low cost, and access to a variety of buffs in Astral and Earth make them an efficient force.

===== Magic =====


==== Magic Access ====

Lots of Astral and Earth, with some Water and Nature. Holy magic can be mixed into your strong communions. 

You can climb Astral to {{path>S4}} or {{path>S6}} by forging boosters for either your blinded hero or a good roll on an ??Elder Druid??. 

Also with ??Earth Boots?? and a good roll on an Elder is Earth {{path>E5}} , from which you can summon yourself a ??King of Elemental Earth?? or two.

Outside of heroes:
Water can go to {{path>W7}}. You'll need a base {{path>W2}} mage with a ??Water Bracelet?? to summon ??Sea King??s, then make a ??Robe of the Sea?? and cast ??Queen of Elemental Water??. Having the boosters also allows for Duids to summon ??Naiad??s for communion-less ??Foul Vapors??.

You need to roll for some time for an Elder or Gutuater to get a nature {{path>N2}} to make a ??Thistle Mace?? then ??Moonvine Bracelet?? for Nature {{path>N4}}. To climb more, summon an  ??Ivy King?? and forge a ??Treelord's Staff?? for {{path>N6}}. Along the way you can stop to pick up ??Troll Shaman??s for death {{path>D3}} with a ??Skull Staff?? and Air {{path>A3}} from a ??Faery Queen??.

==== National Spells ====

**National spells and summons**
Marverni is known for its ability to spam sacred boars in great numbers. A good bless can make its summons quite powerful. 

  ***??Sloth of Bears??**: Conj3 {{gems>8N}} {{path>N2}} ({{:nations:ea:niefelheim:great_bear.png?20&nolink}} ??Great Bear??x10+). Large balls of HP for nature gems. A questionable choice because you already have better options for that below.\\
  *
  ***??Sounder of Boars??**: Conj3 {{gems>20N}} {{path>N1H1}} ({{:nations:ea:marverni:great_boar.png?20&nolink}} ??Great Boar??x20). Twenty sacred trampling boars!

  ***??Monster Boar??**: Conj5 {{gems>10N}} {{path>N3}} ({{:nations:ea:marverni:great_boar.png?20&nolink}} ??Monster Boar??x1). Sends an independent stealthy boar to cause bad events. Often not worth the gems for the distraction.
  
  ***??Contact Boar of Carnutes??**: Conj5 {{gems>7N}} {{path>N1E1}} ({{:nations:ea:marverni:great_boar_of_carnutes.png?20&nolink}} ??Great Boar of Carnutes??x1). Good for the price. Summons a giant boar that freespawns ??Great Boar??s. Low-level wizards can create a lot of them for not that many gems. Nature gems are still precious, but you're likely to freespawn battalions of sacred troops every turn. They are also [[fortune teller]]s. Pig-centric Marverni is one of the main ways to play the nation, especially with a blood vengeance bless.
  
  ***??Iron Pigs??**: Alt6 {{gems>9E}} {{path>E3N1}} ({{:nations:ea:marverni:Iron_boar.png?20&nolink}} ??Iron Boar??x7). A generic spell, but Marverni gets the meaner version. Summons Metallic ??Great Boar??s using earth gems. They have an absurdly high Natural prot of 20, and they are also not [[undisciplined]]. the additional weakness is [[elemental-resistance|Shock vulnerabilit]] that can be remedied with ??Ground Army??. 


  ***??Awaken Tattoos??**: Enchant3 {{path>N1H1}} a key spell to turn your bare-chested troops into something more durable and stronger than average.

====Notable Generic Magic====

At hard it's a Communion nation, with decent front lines then buffed.

The Main Communion paths are Earth and Astral with Nature and Water as side paths that usually can't come on the first round.
 Granting army buffs like ??Iron Warriors?? and ??Body Ethereal??, ??Battle Fortune??, ??Army of Giants??, ??Wave Warriors?? ??Wooden Warriors??. ??Rust Mist?? Destroys the elite Iron armor of Late age.

Offense in ??Mind Burn??,??Blade Wind??, ??Soul Slay??, ??Curse of Stones??, ??Stellar Cascades??, and spamming ??Gifts from Heaven??, ??Curse of the Frog Prince??. ??Foul Vapors??.

Despite being Druids you have an eser time rushing your earth and astral rituals, as you have too many research diversion without a specific hero to reach ??Mother Oak?? before a better nature nation  (though you can ??Dispell?? it. 

Get Decently efficient trampling boar to summon, especially with the ??Great Boar of Carnutes?? free spawning them for a low price of {{gems>7N}} each.

Astral is a focus as a astral random elder druid with a boost can ??Mind Hunt??, ??Golem Construction?? for ??Golem?? thugs without a booster, ??Gateway?? armies.
====Magic Items====
FIXME Do you have any National items(Construction Level, Price, and required Paths). Any unique generic items few other nations can forge? What item would be useful on your unit lineup (non-standard recommend thug gear)?


=====Strategy=====

====Power Curve====
//This is probably the most difficult section to get consensus for. Describe how strong the nation is during expansion, the early, mid and late game, and what makes it strong/weak at each of those points. This should give readers an idea of where the weaknesses of a nation lie (if they have not been shown already) and when to take advantage of a nation's strengths.//

====Expansion Strategies====
//List some example expansion strategies here. If a strong bless or pretender is required then leave the specifics for the pretender section.//

====Example Pretender Builds====
//List some example pretender builds. Try to use the following format to keep authorship and pretender design rationale clear.//
