| //In-game nation description.// -- Nation Description | //"Atlantis is another nation devastated in the end of the second era. Late Atlantis incorporates Inuit concepts apart from the earlier Lovecraftian elements."// - Illwinter |
| |
| //The in-game nation description is acceptable here (please note the source like above if you are directly copying a passage), but a custom-written version of the lore that incorporates insights from commander/hero descriptions and the Dominions 5 manual also works - it helps to keep things concise!. A link to related nations in earlier or later ages fits here too.// | The two sentences above sum up Late-Age Atlantis rather well; the same disaster that drove the adaptable Atlantians from the [[atlantis-ea|unknowable depths]] into [[atlantis-ma|shallower waters]] at the end of the Early Ages has now, through its [[r-lyeh-ma|consequences]], pushed the Atlantian leaders out of the sea. While some fled to [[mictlan-la|warmer parts]], others felt less secure about imposing on humans, leaving for a land that not even decomposers can survive in. There are still Atlantians under the sea, but the collapsed happened so recently that none of them are big enough to rule. Barely a generation has passed, in fact, at least for the Atlantians; all who are bigger than a human (and therefore over a century old) are still haunted by memories of what happened, and guilty that they didn't make a last stand under the sea. The surface-bound Atlantians' fortunes are already shifting, however; their destroyers [[r-lyeh-la|have broken themselves]], and the ocean Atlantians are ready to welcome them back with open arms. |

| //This should be a brief overview of a nation's strengths and weaknesses and a short hook for what makes this nation cool and why people should play it. Some useful points to include might be:// | Atlantis is strong, both on-land and under the sea. It would love to get back underwater, in fact, where the medium-sized Mages and their powers of [[Communions|Communion]] are waiting. Heavy Ice-protected infantry are the cornerstone of their armies (though they do have other options), and practically all of them have Magic Ice Weapons that handle [[lemuria-la|Lemuria]]. The underwater Atlantians in particular are a massive middle finger to R'lyeh, since they have [[Void Sanity]]. Your big Capital Mage is also really good on-land, occasionally providing a crosspath (Death and Air) that's as nation-defining [[fomoria-ea|as always]]. On the other hand, the best parts of Atlantis are quite expensive, and its lack of Nature Magic might run it into trouble against nations who use another [[pythium-la|nation-defining]] crosspath (Nature and Water). |

The length of this section will vary greatly depending on the nation, and does not have to be formatted in the same way as the example below.

| The {{:misc:magic:air.png?14&nolink}}{{:misc:magic:death.png?14&nolink}} crosspath on 25% of Angakoks can be used to cast ??Wailing Winds?? at Evocation 6. The higher-than-average morale of Atlantian heavy infantry means they will (on average) rout after enemy armies, making this spell a huge threat that is impossible to fully counter. At Evocation 7 ??Wind of Death?? also becomes available. | LA Atlantis is notable for getting an enormous amount of value from research in [[Evocation]]. At Evocation 6 is the classic ??Wailing Winds??, castable by 25% of Angakoks and one of the most difficult spells in the game to play against. Evocation 7 brings the critical ??Stygian Rains??, a spell which LA Atlantis is uniquely suited to make use of; the battlefield-wide [[invulnerability]] is nullified for opponents by Atlantis' ubiquitous magic weapons, so it is pure benefit! Invulnerability 15 combined with ice armor brings Ice Guard to an impressive 29 protection (vs. mundane weapons) in {{:misc:scales:cold.png?14&nolink}}3 scales. Also in the Evocation tree is ??Maelstrom??, allowing LA Atlantis to pick up a powerful gem generator without using too much more research. |
| | |
| | Speaking of {{:misc:scales:cold.png?14&nolink}}cold scales, Ice Guard drop to 11 protection in {{:misc:scales:heat.png?14&nolink}}3, which opponents are liable to counterpick in anticipation of Atlantis' amazing troops. For critical battles where friendly dominion hasn't had the time to catch up, several early ??Wolven Winter?? (Alteration 4) casts may be useful to keep that temperature down and dramatically improve the effectiveness of your troops. |
| |
| Atlantis's well-armored, magic weapon-wielding infantry synergizes very well with ??Stygian Rains?? at Evocation 7. It can be cast by any ??Angakok?? with a ??Skull Staff??, and the [[invulnerability]] effect it applies benefits only your troops, driving their protection even higher! | The Atlantians' native 50% [[darkvision]] makes ??Darkness?? (Alteration 6) a natural fit, as they ignore half the penalty of darkness and essentially gain +3/+3 in Attack and Defence against non-darkseeing opponents.
