| | MA Agartha is a nation of slowly dying pale ones and their worshipful human servants. As the epithet implies, the humans have a golem cult in which they make statues of their pale one masters and enchant them with life. This is reflected in game by the bonus health to golems and national statue spells. |

| ===== General Overview ===== | ===== General Overview ===== |
| |
| As far as recruitable troops go MA Agartha has solid human troops in a variety of armor weights, tanky defenders of the halls, wet one chaff, troglodyte shock troops, and elite shard guard. The humans are priced reasonably and have good equipment making them resource effective and competent though they do suffer form a lack of hard hitting attacks. Pale ones are mostly poorly statted sacks of HP and siege strength who can't hit the broad side of a barn, though when they do hit they hit hard for their price. The defender of the halls deviates from this trend by having fairly good stats for a respectable 13 gold. Troglodyte slaves are high morale tramplers but suffer from the usual trampler issues of being easy to surround and kill. Shard guard are capital only sacreds who cost quite a bit but are high quality, hitting like trucks and with a good bit of HP and resistance. Ancient ones don't bear mentioning. This is a solid line up, great at holding the line to protect your mages, able to crack forts quickly, and go under water easily but not great at doing damage and suffering from fatigue issues on cold climates. | Agartha is a nation of cave-dwelling Pale Ones who live alongside humans. Pale Ones are cold-blooded amphibious humanoids adapted to life underground; all have high HP, strength, and magic resistance, and benefit from a siege bonus, but poor attack and defense skills. |
| | |
| | Their mages emphasize Earth, with some access to Death, Water, and Fire; their cap-only ??Oracle of the Ancients?? is one of the strongest earth mages in the game. All are also priests. |
| | |
| | Their troops are all infantry, both Pale One and human, with a variety of armor weights; most emphasize defense over offense. They have cap-only sacred ??Ancient One??s (giant Pale Ones) and ??Shard Guard??, extremely slow but strong and durable half-olms. |
| |
| Mages are a point of pride for MA Agartha, featuring low upkeep researchers with fortune teller earth readers, versatile and strong golem crafters, and finally oracles of the ancients who are cap only and very powerful. Golem crafters can do as their name implies and cast many of your national spells as well as common earth buffs such as ??legions of steel?? and ??strength of giants?? and it is impossible to have too many of them. Oracles are among the strongest {{:misc:magic:earth.png?14&nolink}}earth mages in the game and all come with a point of death so they can cast [[Twiceborn]] with a ??Skull Staff??. Their twiceborn form is a particularly good one with high HP and the ability to [[reanimation | reanimate the dead]]. | MA Agartha also has a variety of national summons, and these form a core part of the nation's character; the nation often relies on them heavily. They can summon mindblasting ??Great Olm??s, cheap ??Magma Child??ren, blobs of ??Living Mercury??, and ethereal ghostly ??Umbral??s and ??Penumbral??s. Their most iconic and unique summons are the tough sacred statues in a variety of sizes, such as ??Sentinel?? and ??Granite Guardian??. |
| |
| MA Agartha's strongest point is their summons. In their capital they can summon outrageously cheap and effective magma children with ??Rhuax Pact??. Magma children benefit immensely from heat scales, hit like trucks, do AoE damage, and die like flies because you can't have everything. They also get a variety of statue summons, the most popular of which being ??Enliven Sentinel?? which for a mere 3 gems summons a sacred statue with high protection and a hard hitting granite glaive. ??Olm Conclave?? is one of the best uses of water gems in the game and gives mind blasting olm artillery and olm sages skilled in water magic. It is almost cost effective just casting it to use the olm sage as a research booster. ??Summon Umbrals?? is a spell which produces high HP, high stat ethereal ancient ones with a life drain attack. ??Umbral??s tend to die easily on their own but when given protection buffs like marble warriors they become very powerful. | |

| ===== National Features ===== | ===== National Features ===== |
| |
| MA Agartha has golem dominion. Constructs will have 10% increased hit points in this dominion for each candle present. It will help disciple players as well as enemies should they have any constructs. MA Agartha also has very strong national summons. MA Agartha also gets +1 earth bless points, a welcome gift for a nation who loves so many of the earth blesses. | MA Agartha's dominion empowers the constructs it creates. Constructs will have 10% increased hit points in this dominion for each candle present. This will help disciple players as well as enemies should they have any constructs. They also get +1 earth bless point as long as their pretender has other access to Earth blesses. |

| MA Agartha is a nation defined by its national summons. You pick this nation for these toys. | MA Agartha is a nation partially defined by its national summons. Most players treat them as a core part of the roster, rather than an addition. |
| |
| **Statues**: The best of these are probably the Sentinels, who are sacred but relatively inexpensive (but cost lots of mage turns). In one sense, they are redundant with your ??Shard Guard??: sacred hard-hitting melee troops that can take a hit, but are painfully slow. But they are so *good* at it -- their slash/pierce resistance, 22 protection, and enormous HP total in your dominion makes these statues an incredibly solid frontline. Don't overlook their patrol bonus: they can patrol out assassins, seducers, and scouts even in small numbers. | **Statues**: The most commonly-used of these are the ??Sentinel??s, who are sacred but relatively inexpensive (but cost lots of mage turns). Like all statues, they have 22 natural protection and slash/pierce resistance. Combined with their high HP from the Golem Cult dominion bonus, they are extremely durable melee combatants. They also have a patrol bonus: they can patrol out assassins, seducers, and scouts even in small numbers. |
| |
| They are vulnerable to thugs with AP/AN weapons (particularly ??Smasher??), along with shock damage if you didn't pick shock resistance in your bless. | They are vulnerable to thugs with AP/AN weapons (particularly ??Smasher??), along with shock damage unless they are blessed with shock resistance. |
| |
| Notice that these statues have mapmove 20; they can scoot around the map much better than your other assets if you give them a fast commander (Attendant of the Oracles or an Oracle, particularly with ??Boots of the Messenger??). | These statues have mapmove 20; this makes them faster than gold-recruit troops, so they can often outrun the rest of the Agarthan force with a fast commander (??Attendant of the Oracles?? or an ??Oracle of the Ancients??, particularly with ??Boots of the Messenger??). |
| |
| **Umbrals and Penumbrals**: These are the opposite of statues: no protection, but ethereal and with an armor piercing lifedrain attack. These take buffs extremely well, particularly ??Marble Warriors??, ??Iron Warriors??, ??Strength of Giants??, and ??Quickness??. Their massive untyped AP damage will make a mess out of most targets, even ones with prot buffs. They can help you avoid being bottlenecked at castle gates, engage targets without magic weapons, and augment your forces. They are stealthy, but you don't have any stealthy leaders -- unless you make one, with ??Shademail Haubergeon??, or find Camazotz indies (who can lead undead because of their death path and are stealthy). Umbrals can be summoned by death-random Oracles or any Oracle with a skullstaff. | **Umbrals and Penumbrals**: These are the opposite of statues: no protection, but ethereal and with a powerful armor piercing lifedrain attack. Since they have no natural protection, players commonly buff them with protection buffs like ??Marble Warriors?? and further augment their damage with ??Strength of Giants??. |
| |
| **Shard Wights**: These are undead Pale Ones with a cold aura. Since you generally don't have cold scales, their aura won't do that much. Beyond that, they're slow infantry that wander around and smash things with magic shard glaives. But you already have Shard Guard for that, and these aren't sacred. Umbrals -- or ??Mound Fiend??s -- are usually better uses of death gems. | They are stealthy, but Agartha doesn't have any stealthy leaders -- although they can make one, by forging a ??Shademail Haubergeon??, or use Camazotz indies who can lead undead because of their death path and are stealthy. |
| |
| **Olms** (??Great Olm??s and ??Olm Sage?? from the ??Olm Conclave??): These provide you the unique capability to have mindblasters. Mindblasters will not win you battles by themselves (at least not usually). But they break up formations, force opponents to cast ??Antimagic??, stunlock many solo thugs and SC's, and paralyze frontline troops so your hard-hitting but inaccurate Pale Ones can poke them. Meanwhile, the ??Olm Sage?? is your highest national water access at Water 2. Note that they are resistant to poison, so they can closely escort Living Mercuries to buff them without risk. Olm Conclave is an efficient spell; if you consider the Olm Sage to be worth 10 gems (a steal for a 3-path mage), the Olms are one gem apiece -- also cheap for what they do. | Umbrals can be summoned by death-random Oracles or any Oracle with a ??Skull Staff??. |
| |
| Note that each squad of mindblasting olms will target the same squad. It is sometimes worth splitting your olms up into multiple squads to have a greater chance of mindblasting a mage (in situations where that's worthwhile). | **Shard Wights**: These are undead Pale Ones with a cold aura. They are rarely used since Agartha generally doesn't have cold scales to help their aura, they fill a similar role to ??Shard Guard?? while not being sacred, and compete with other uses for valuable death gems. |
| |
| **Magma Children**: These are incredibly cheap at 0.4 fire gems apiece. You will make swarms of them. The statresist/sacred meta means that most enemies will field fire resistant sacreds that they can't kill as well, but anything without fire resistance will get shredded. Notably their AoE attacks ignore defense, and their fire shield means they will eradicate swarmbugs and longdead. You likely want to take Heat 3 scales for these. They are vulnerable to archery and evocations, but they murder things so well that they work excellently as the hammer in a hammer-and-anvil formation. Be careful: They will set your non-fire-resistant stuff on fire, and fatigue out anything near them that doesn't have fire resistance. (FR5 is not immune either.) They are good for cleaning up air elementals -- if you're okay with them running around in your backline. (This means you have FR on your bless.) | **Olms** (??Great Olm??s and ??Olm Sage?? from the ??Olm Conclave??): The ??Great Olm??s are mindblasters, which are useful to break up formations, force opponents to cast ??Antimagic??, stunlock solo thugs and SC's, and paralyze frontline troops so Pale One accuracy is not a problem. |
| |
| These do 12 fire damage base, which increases to 15 in Heat 3 and 19 with ??Strength of Giants??. They love strength buffs, since their attacks ignore defense -- if you can punch through a target's FR and half of their prot, they will very rapidly get shredded. | The ??Olm Sage?? that comes along with them is the nation's highest national water access at Water 2. Since they are resistant to poison, they can closely escort Living Mercuries to buff them without risk. |
| |
| |
| **Barathrus Pact**: Make statues instead 95% of the time. | **Magma Children**: These are incredibly cheap at 0.4 fire gems apiece; since ??Rhuax Pact?? summons them five at a time, many Agartha players make swarms of them. They are substantially better in heat scales thanks to their Heat Power ability. Since their attacks do armor-piercing defense-ignoring area-of-effect fire damage, anything without fire resistance will get shredded. Their fire shield and area attacks will eradicate swarmbugs and longdead. |
| |
| **Living Mercury**: Let's get one thing straight: this unit is not about the poison cloud. It's about the three Strength 28 armor piercing attacks. These absolutely love buffs -- Iron Warriors and Quickness (from ??Olm Sages??) turn them into absolute wrecking balls, and 28 AP damage is enough to pop ??Mistform?? and wreck protection thugs. Careful scripting can keep them away from poison-susceptible things -- most of the time. They are safe around statues, olm sages, shard wights, and anything with PR10 or more once it is blessed; they are *not* safe around magma children since they'll get set on fire by the heat aura. | These do 12 fire damage base, which increases to 15 in Heat 3 and 19 with ??Strength of Giants??. They are efficient enough that many Agartha players take Heat 3 scales just for these. They are vulnerable to archery and evocations, however. |
| | |
| | Note that their heat aura can pose a danger to anything deployed near them that is not fire resistant (and FR5 is not totally safe either). |
| | |
| | |
| | **Barathrus Pact**: Paying 2 gems for a size 4 Earth Elemental compares poorly with ??Summon Earth Elemental?? or ??Living Earth??, both of which are easy for Agartha to cast. However, they can't be gem baited and are disciplined (and thus can be readily point buffed with ??Iron Warriors??), so there is a niche for disciplined elementals. However, they compete with ??Sentinel??s for earth gems, and thus see little use. |
| | |
| | **Living Mercury**: While the poison cloud looks useful, it is generally more of a risk to friendly troops. The real value here is the three Strength 28 armor piercing attacks. |

| | |
| | Their Protection 0 means that they will take attrition from mundane troops and PD unless prot-buffed. This makes them more suitable to fight elites (particularly those relying on protection) than chaff without buffs. |
| |
| Mages do not like to buff them for whatever reason if other targets are available. You have been warned. | |
| |
| Their Protection 0 means that they will take attrition from mundane troops and PD unless prot-buffed. This is fine; they do not exist to kill PD chaff. They exist to ruin the day of thugs and anything that thought it had enough protection to not get smashed. | |

| As an earth nation with good troops, most of your combat magic will go into buffing those troops to make them even stronger. You usually don't kill people with magic; you kill people with grumpy ??Shard Guard??. | As an earth nation with good troops, most of Agartha's combat magic is generally dedicated to buffing those troops to make them even stronger. Rather than killing people with magic directly, Agartha tends to kill people with grumpy ??Shard Guard??. |
| |
| You'll want to paint ??Strength of Giants?? and ??Legions of Steel?? on your stuff as often as you can, adding in ??Marble Warriors?? where appropriate once you get it. Obviously ??Army of Lead?? (or Gold) is excellent lategame. | They are often able to paint ??Strength of Giants?? and ??Legions of Steel?? on everything, adding in ??Marble Warriors?? where appropriate once you get it. They are also one of the few nations that can cast ??Weapons of Sharpness?? without difficulty, which is an immense buff to troop damage. Obviously ??Army of Lead?? (or Gold) is excellent lategame. |
| |
| ??Earth Meld?? and ??Maws of the Earth?? are also worth casting against nonflying targets so your troops can chop them up, and Maws is a decent direct damage spell. You have ??Earthquake?? for traps. | They have ready access to ??Earth Meld?? and ??Maws of the Earth??, which allow their less-skilled troops to hit things more readily and (for Maws) do area damage. |
| |
| ??Quickness?? and ??Quickening?? are excellent buffs and your Olm Sages will spend lots of time casting these. Don't forget ??Frozen Heart??, which all of your ??Golem Crafter??s can cast, and is a great way to deal with thugs that forgot their cold resistance. | Their Oracles can cast and survive ??Earthquake??, so they can set traps easily for nations that are vulnerable. |
| |
| ??Darkness?? is huge, since almost all of your stuff can see in the dark. You will need help from a pretender or heroes to cast it. You'll likely have only a few darkness casters -- pretender, valuable indies, heroes -- so ??Twiceborn?? them. | ??Quickness?? and ??Quickening?? are excellent buffs for Shard Guard and summons, and can be cast by Olm Sages or Golem Crafters with a booster. Also in Water, all Golem Crafters can cast ??Frozen Heart??, which can punish thugs or elites without cold resistance. |
| |
| ??Rigor Mortis?? is also brutal, since your statues don't care, your umbrals don't care, and your mages won't die quickly because of ??Summon Earthpower??. | ??Darkness?? is huge, since almost everything Agarthan can see in the dark. It is hard to cast, since it requires Death 4; this is either a ??Mound Fiend?? holding a ??Skull Staff??, a pretender, a hero (Mason or Golog), or a high-level Death summon (Lich or Wraith). |
| |
| Finally, given that you're a nation of impressively strong but slow infantry, ??Mass Flight?? is a gamechanger in some situations. | ??Rigor Mortis?? generally hurts Agartha less than their enemies, since the statues don't care, the umbrals don't care, and the mages won't die quickly because of ??Summon Earthpower??. |

| ====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.

| ====Expansion Strategies==== | ====Expansion Strategies==== |
| //List some example expansion strategies here. If a strong bless or pretender is required then leave the specifics for the pretender section.// | MA Agartha's expansion is solid if unremarkable. Indies generally do low damage, so your high-protection human infantry with good shields (for archer protection) deal with them with low attrition. |
| | |
| | Shard Guard with even a light bless expand very well. |
| |
| | Since ??Attentive Statue??s are only Enchantment 1, you might have them in time to help with expansion. |

| You benefit greatly from resist blesses (so your mages don't wipe to battlefield-wide spells and your sacreds can endure punishment while they close to melee) and stat blesses -- particularly +attack. More Strength is useful, even on high-str things like Shard Guard and Sentinels, because it lets them hit through shields and slice through thugs/gods. | You benefit greatly from resist blesses (so your mages don't wipe to battlefield-wide spells and your sacreds can endure punishment while they close to melee) and stat blesses -- particularly +attack.

| Shard Guard require surprisingly low resource/recpoints, so this build takes a high domscore to produce lots of them despite Turmoil. Magma Children like it warm, so take Heat 3. | Shard Guard require surprisingly low resource/recpoints, so this build takes a high domscore to produce lots of them despite Turmoil.
