| Andramania is a republic of Calystrii, civilized and culturally advanced Cynocephalians. The Cynocephalian clans of Gog and Magog once served Magnificent [[ind-ma|Ind]] and their barking hordes were released upon the enemies of the Prester King. But when the Khans of [[t-ien-ch-i-la|T’ien Ch’i]] defeated the sacred armies of Ind and killed the Prester King himself, the dominion of Ind was broken and all subservient tribes and kingdoms found themselves free from the yoke of the Magnificent Kingdom. The Cynocephalians had become increasingly more civilized under the benevolent rule of the Prester King and when Ind fell cynocephalian magistrates replaced the viceroys of Ind and united the cynocephalian tribes in a nation of virtue far beyond that of the kingdoms of men. They called themselves Calystrii and promised never to fall back into the barbarism and gruesome practices of old. Now most Calystrii regard men with disdain as the inferior beings they are. | Andramania is a republic of Calystrii, civilized and culturally advanced Cynocephalians.

| //"Ind is heavily influenced by the kingdom of Prester John, a medieval idea of a hidden christian kingdom surrounded by heathen tribes. The idea of the hidden kingdom survived until the seventeenth century. As more and more of the world became known to the Europeans the kingdom was moved to new unexplored regions. The first sources placed the kingdom in the orient. Later on it was conceived as an Ethiopian kingdom. \\ \\ | //"Piconye, Feminie and Andramania are successors to the magnificent kingdom of Ind. They mainly draw inspiration from my previous ideas of Ind and the kingdom of Prester John. I wanted the successors of Ind to split the virtues of the magnificent kingdom and so Piconye inherits the theocratic traditions of Ind, Feminine inherits the magic secrets, and Andramania inherits the order and discipline of the kingdom. |
| For inspiration on Ind I have used the first and most fantastic medieval accounts of the marvelous kingdom, with streets of gold and dining tables of emerald. I wanted to be true to the over the top accounts of the virtue of the kingdom and its inhabitants. In the descriptions of Ind's units I have paraphrased several accounts of their outstanding virtue, like everyone being a priest and every noble being a king. I have also used accounts of cannibals and other strange tribes subservient to Prester John. Ind is probably the dominions nation least influenced by my own ideas. The only addition to the nation that can't be found in the medieval accounts of the kingdom are the dog headed cynocephalians. These are also found in medieval accounts and they are placed in the orient. Combined with judaeo-christian ideas of Gog and Magog they were added to Ind as the worst of the cannibals serving the Prester King. \\ \\ | |
| Andramania draws additional inspiration from medieval myths on the cynocephalians. While most sources portray them as wild brutes, there are some representations where they appear civilized and peaceful. After some reimagining Andramania became a nation of cynocephalians trying to overcome their barbaric legacy."// -Illwinter | Andramania draws additional inspiration from medieval myths on the cynocephalians.

| Offsetting the boons to standard combat, Andramania has no mastery (level 3 or higher) in any [[magic]] paths, and no {{path>H3}}'s beyond its [[Prophet]]. The nation pays a premium for mages whose paths are strewn wide; and while these magi are both tough and versatile, the benefits of versatility slim out in the late game. While any Andramanian magus can have [[Astral]], there is no //cheap-and-reliable// Astral to be found here, so [[Communion|Communions]] will be pricey and somewhat slow to assemble. | Offsetting the boons to standard combat, Andramania has no mastery (level 3 or higher) in any [[magic]] paths, and no {{path>H3}}'s beyond its [[Prophet]].

They can also equip a ??Starshine Skullcap?? and ??Teleport?? in order to fill gaps in your buff coverage anywhere you need it, for example when a key mage dies in your army and you don't have a spare. {{path>E2}} Senators can cast ??Marble Army?? and ??Steel Slice Warriors?? without a communion, craft ??Earth Boots?? and ??Coin of Meteoric Iron?? and summon ??Golem??s. {{path>W1}} Senators can site search and craft ??Coral Blade??s for your communions, but also cast ??Foul Vapors?? to make storming your forts a pyrrhic endeavour.

Can technically stay in one place while firing in order to absorb more point buffs from your mages, akin to MA Shinuyama's Dai Bakemono, but the loss of skill and damage compared to Andramania's other options makes this suboptimal. | |

Notably has worse performance against length 2 units like greatswords (that won't get replled) compared to Senatorial Guard. | |

Boasts exceptional skill, damage, attack density and gold density per square. This unit will win fights against almost any melee unit in the game without mages being involved, but the low HP per gold makes this unit relatively weak to projectiles, especially crossbows. Takes buffs incredibly well. | |

Comparatively, gains +3/+2 attack/defence, but loses 4 damage. As the only sacred worth considering in Andramania's roster, this unit can be customized to deal with specific threats like lightning damage or ethereal by taking resistance or magic weapons in your bless. Alternatively, the unit can boost expansion by taking a defence-stacking bless. | |

| Mid game options. | Research Alteration 5 for ??Solar Eclipse?? and ??Cat-Eyed Warriors??, and start recruiting ??Calystri Magus?? as you reach said research in order to be able to deploy both spells. Don't forget Conjuration 3 for ??Phoenix Power??, ??Summon Earthpower?? and ??Power of the Spheres??. |
| | |
| | Work towards Construction 6 to get ??Legions of Steel??, and spend your earth gems on ??Earth Boots?? so you can cast the spell easily. ??Thistle Mace?? is also useful, for saving gems when casting ??Howl?? from Conjuration 5. |
| |
| | Next is Alteration 7 for ??Oaken Army??. By this point you can cast Solar Eclipse, Legions of Steel and Oaken Army in every single army with just three Calystri Magus, adding in a fourth for Howl if you're up against crossbows or evocations. You can also save gems when casting the above four spells by bringing two communion slaves. Bring a random Apprentice for ??Heal?? duty if you're concerned, but the regeneration from ??Strength of Gaia?? should be enough to keep the communion stable. |
