==== Heroes ====
FIXME
===== Magic =====
==== National Spells & Summons ====
===Evocation===
**??Scorching Wind??** Evocation 4, {{path>A2F1}}. A national ??Curse of the Desert?? alternative, applying Dessication. It has a wider range and a wider Area-of-Effect, the latter scaling with the caster's {{:misc:magic:air.png?14&nolink}}[[Air]] level.
**??Smokeless Flame??** Evocation 6, {{path>F3A1}}. An incredibly-powerful attack spell, that has an extra chance to set nearby targets on fire (though they can dodge this extra combustion chance with [[defence skill]]). Its damage output is greater than ??Pillar of Fire?? (which comes two levels later in Research) and less than ??Bane Fire?? (which doesn't apply heat).
\\
\\
===Summons===
**??Pride of Lions??** Conjuration 3 {{gems>10N}}, {{path>N2}}. ({{:nations:ma:naba:great_lion.png?nolink}} ??Great Lion??x10 + Lv)
**??Contact Jinn??** Conjuration 4 {{gems>18F}}, {{path>F2A1}}. ({{:nations:ma:naba:jinn.png?nolink}} ??Jinn??x1). The Jinn is an extraordinary thug chassis, possessing invisibility (-9 [[attack skill|attack]] and defense **for those fighting him, against him only**) until he takes damage once, alongside his elf-like [[Glamour]] and his inherent ability to [[Flying|fly]]. ??Mistform?? and high {{:misc:scales:magic.png?14&nolink}}[[Scales|Magic Scales]] make them particularly stubborn, and the Jinn's {{path>F2A2}} give them both Mistform and [[Phoenix Pyre]]. Balancing out these traits are the Jinn's weaknesses to Cold damage and ??Enchanted Salt??, along with his enormous lack of equipment and somewhat-average [[Morale]]. Jinnun are also [[Ethereal]] [[Magic Being|Magic Beings]], like the Malikat, so they do even better against mundane weapons but can have a very bad time against ??Moon Blade??s.
**??Summon Jinn Warriors??** Conjuration 5 {{gems>18F}}, {{path>F2A1}}. ({{:nations:ma:naba:jinn_warrior.png?nolink}} ??Jinn Warrior??x3): Jinnun without the aforementioned enormous lack of equipment. They even have the same magic paths ({{path>F2A2}}), **if** you use [[divine-name|Divine Name or Gift of Reason]] on them.
**??Summon Hinn??** Conjuration 6 {{gems>6A}}, {{path>A1F1}} Only in Wastelands. ({{:nations:ma:naba:hinn.png?nolink}} ??Hinn??x5+[1/2 lv]). Stealthy Ethereal beasts. Has a heat aura and resistance to Fire and Shock. could rear attack or stall enemies while fatiguing them out.
**??Summon Si'lat??** Conjuration 6 {{gems>21A}}, {{path>A2}}. ({{:nations:ma:naba:si_lat.png?nolink}} ??Si'lat??x1). The Si'lat is a {{path>F1A2E1}} mage. She's similar to a Jinn, but she has feet instead of their invisibility. Si'lat (plural) can engage in [[Seduction]], but they might need some help for if their attempts fail; {{path>E1}} lets them cast ??Ironskin?? and pin their spiteful foe with ??Earth Grip??, while {{path>A2}} lets them finish the job with Shock Evocations, but a weapon would be nice.
**??Contact Houri??** Conjuration 6 {{gems>26A}}, {{path>A2N1}}. ({{:nations:ma:naba:houri.png?nolink}} ??Houri??x1). The Houri is a female Jinn (with all of the same traits) boasting {{path>F2A2N2}} and [[Seduction]] skills. Having the "Invisible-until-hit" trait is great for in case her attempts fail, but her mix of magic stands out better; {{path>N2}} lets her hold the spiteful foe in place with ??Swarm??, and her other paths give her a fine selection of Evocations to destroy them with. If those skills aren't needed, she can still craft and use a ??Thistle Mace?? for {{path>N3}}, which lets her cast ??Healing Mists?? and other fun stuff in battle.
**??Summon Binn??** Conjuration 6 {{gems>6W}}, {{path>W1A1}} Only in Wastelands.. ({{:nations:ma:naba:binn.png?nolink}} ??Binn??x5+[1/2 lv])
**??Summon Marid??** Conjuration 8 {{gems>66F}}, {{path>F4A2}}. ({{:nations:ma:naba:marid.png?nolink}} ??Marid??x1)
**??Awaken Jinn Block??** Thaumaturgy 5 {{gems>5E}}, {{path>E1H1}}. ({{:nations:ma:naba:Jinn_block.png?nolink}} ??Jinn Block??x1)
\\
\\
===Blood===
Na'Ba doesn't have any recruitable [[Blood]] mages, but Bootstrapping into Blood is easier than bootstrapping into other paths you can't find indies for. Fortunately you don't need Blood in very high levels, though you will need a lot of [[Blood Slaves]].
**??Feast for Ghuls??** Blood 4, {{:misc:magic:blood.png?20&nolink}}1, {{:misc:magic:bloodslave.png?nolink}}21 Only in Wastelands.. ({{:nations:ma:naba:ghul.png?nolink}} ??Ghul#3479??x5+[1/2 lv]). Regenerating ethereal demons with a second shape. Unlike Ubar's recruitable version, they do not cost upkeep.
**??Summon Ghulah??** Blood 5, {{:misc:magic:blood.png?20&nolink}}1, {{:misc:magic:bloodslave.png?nolink}}31 Only in Wastelands. {{:nations:ma:naba:ghulah.png?nolink}} ??Ghulah?? are {{path>D1,B1}} assassins and decent blood searchers. Once you get a Ghulah they will take over your blood hunting and summon more of themselves. All their attributes make them good at assassinations and joining communions.
**??Summon Ifrit??** Blood 5, {{path>B1F3}} {{gems>58B}}. {{:nations:ma:naba:ifrit.png?nolink}} Each ??Ifrit?? is a stronger Jinn, possessing [[Fire Power]], [[Heat-Aura|Heat]], and a [[Fire Shield]] to go with their Jinn traits. They also start with a weapon. Last-but-not-least, they have {{path>F3A2}}, in case Commander Points from your forts aren't giving you enough Evocation masters.
**??Summon Shaytan??** Blood 6, {{path>B1F3}} {{gems>73B}}. {{:nations:ma:naba:shaytan.png?nolink}} Each ??Shaytan?? has {{path>F2,A2,B2}} and the {{:abilities:corruptor.png?nolink}} [[Corruptor]] trait, the latter of which is a more-effective version of Seduction. When accounting for the Assassination battles that happen when Shayatin fail, remember that their Blood Slaves are not guaranteed to show up with them. Their other paths allow for Evocations that are unlikely to miss at close range, at least; if that isn't secure enough for you, consider having them distract their target with ??Phantasmal Warrior??s. The {{path>B2}} is unfortunately not enough to get Blood boosters, but it has additional Ritual and battlefield uses.
==== Magic Access ====
FIXME
====Combat Magic====
Na'Ba relies almost entirely on FAE casting, but has several options among them.
*You have a strong fatigue build with Fire Resistance, ??Heat from Hell??, ??Scorching Wind??, ??Sulphur Haze??, and evocation heat AOEs. Adding ??Curse of Stones?? or ??Maws of the Earth?? can give this more time to work, and you can prepare the battlefield with ??Breath of the Desert??.
*??Wind Guide?? can pair with ??Flaming Arrows?? and evocation spam for a heavy ranged threat, useful against massed elite troops.
*Both of those plays can be shut down by the fire fatigue and projectile deflection of ??Storm??, so against any Air nation you need a change-up option. You can Tstrike competently or put out remarkable elemental spam, and late game your Fog Warriors access can be used to buff elemental summons to new heights.
*For simple army slogs, your buffing game is quite good, with Earth buffs early and Fog Warriors plus elemental resistances later. Decide whether to buff hard and let the enemy come to you, or pair Mass Flight with whole-field buffs for a sudden blitz.
*Finally, ??Smokeless Flame??, ??Magma Bolts??, ??Incinerate??, and potentially ??Gifts From Heaven?? provide threats that very few SCs or hellbless nations can stomach.
====Ritual Magic====
FIXME
====Magic Items====
**Thug Template (F15 Eagle): ??Malikah?? equipped with a ??Halberd of Might??, ??Enchanted Ring Mail Armor??,??Dragon Helmet??. Next Script: ??Blessing??, ??Iron Skin??, then Attack**
===National Items===
***??Jinn Bottle??**: {{path>A2E1}}. Costs {{gems>10A5E}}. Gives a renewable retinue of 1 ??Jinn Warrior??. Also wasteland survival for your indies or stolen mages who may not have it.
***??Companion Bracelet??**: {{path>A2}}. Costs {{gems>10A}}. Unremovable wedding ring that also gives a retinue of an {{path>A1S1}} ??Qarin??, as well as luck and a research bonus (not nearly as efficient as an ??Owl Quill??).
===National Discounts===
*??The Magic Lamp?? (Const 8, {{path>A5F4}}). Use this to summon Al Khazim, a ??Jinn#490?? with {{path>F5A5E3S3}} and absolutely-amazing combat stats. If you lose Al Khazim, you'll have to craft another Lamp to re-summon him.
*??Flying Carpet??
*??Stone Idol??
=====Strategic Guide=====
====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====
Na'Ba has several options for expansion. As such Nabaean expansion is about bringing the right tool to do the job.
{{:nations:ma:naba:adite_light_infantry.png |}}{{:nations:ma:naba:adite_heavy_infantry.png |}}??'Adite Light Infantry?? are durable half-giants that can take a punch and deal one back with their high-damage javelins. ??'Adite Heavy Infantry?? trade the javelin for slightly more Protection and better stats. Their 13 attack 23 damage scimitars carve through the toughest of armor. Both option are expensive in both gold and resources but work very well once critical mass has been met.
{{:nations:ma:naba:jann_guard.png |}}??Jann Guard?? are comparable to 'Adite Heavy Infantry but have glamour for extra protection and can take a bless. Depending on your pretender design they can be a valuable addition to your expansion.
{{:nations:ma:naba:nabaean_camel_rider.png?nolink|}}{{:nations:ma:naba:nabaean_desert_warrior.png?nolink|}}??Nabaean Camel Rider??s and ??Nabaean Desert Warrior??s can be recruited everywhere and can help take out indies vulnerable to archer fire, most notably Barbarians. The falcons summoned by the camel riders can take lance charges vs Heavy Cavalry, which can keep down attrition on other troops.
{{:nations:ma:naba:malikah.png |}}With an [[pretender|awake pretender]] thugged out ??Malikah?? can compliment your expansion once Const 2, Alt 3 is researched.
====Example Pretender Builds====
//List some example pretender builds. Try to use the following format to keep authorship and pretender design rationale clear.//
====Malikah & Jinnun focused strategy====
