 ===== General Overview =====
-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 both [[r-lyeh-la|R'lyeh]] and [[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).

-//Ya bois are somewhat-[[cold-resistance|Cold-Resistant]] [[amphibious|Amphibians]] with partial [[Darkvision]]; all of these traits are pretty good for taking the seas, as you can imagine, but the first thing is great for on-land Water Magic while the last thing is neat for ??Darkness?? plays. They also have [[snow-move|Snow Shoes]]; this combined with the [[Ice Protection]] on most of your troops highly incentivizes going all-in on Cold [[Scales]], unless you prefer quantity of troops (from Income) over quality (from rock-solid Ice Armor).//
+LA Atlantian troops are somewhat [[cold-resistance|cold-resistant]] [[amphibious|amphibians]] with partial [[darkvision]]; all of these traits are pretty good for taking the seas, as you can imagine, but the first thing is great for on-land Water Magic while the last thing is neat for ??Darkness?? plays.

 ==== Commanders ====
 //Keep descriptions to the point! Discussion of what to use certain magic paths for, thug equipment, etc. quickly becomes redundant over several nation pages, so describe the unit's function and leave it at that. Elaborate only if it is exceptional and/or a particular strength of the roster. Combine entries if the units are very similar.//

-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 as the battlefield-wide [[invulnerability]] is nullified for opponents by Atlantis' ubiquitous magic weapons. 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.
