Stronger than a regular scout, but not enough so to reliably defeat 1 PD without items. | |

Having 19 PD ahead of time also makes PD dumps cheaper, which is useful against crossbow doom stacks that are common in LA. Notably, Andramania's PD is also more cost-effective than other nations as a result of the conscription trait. | |
| | {{:nations:la:andramania:calystri_commander.png?nolink}} | **??Calystri Commander#3849??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 115 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 29 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 1 | {{:nations:la:andramania:Calystri_soldier.png?25&nolink }} | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:la:andramania:calystri_commander.png?nolink}} | **??Calystri Commander#3849??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 115 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 29 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 1 | {{:nations:la:andramania:Calystri_soldier.png?25&nolink }} | Provides line formations and the most leadership per commander point. Due to your good units not having shields, line formations are exceptionally valuable to keep casualties down. | |

| | {{:nations:la:andramania:Apprentice_Magus.png?nolink}} | **??Apprentice Magus#3920??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 110 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2 | {{path>N1,100%FES}}{{path>R9}} \\ {{:nations:la:andramania:Calystri_soldier.png?25&nolink }} \\ \\ {{:abilities:supply_bonus.png?15&nolink}} [[Supply Bonus]] (10) | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:la:andramania:Apprentice_Magus.png?nolink}} | **??Apprentice Magus#3920??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 110 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2 | {{path>N1,100%FES}}{{path>R9}} \\ {{:nations:la:andramania:Calystri_soldier.png?25&nolink }} \\ \\ {{:abilities:supply_bonus.png?15&nolink}} [[Supply Bonus]] (10) | Not only your cheapest research option, but also your cheapest option for point buffs and a variety of support functions. All Apprentices can cast ??Barkskin?? to raise your units' protection to 21. {{path>S1}} Apprentices can cast ??Body Ethereal?? and ??Communion Slave??, {{path>E1}} Apprentices can equip Earth Boots and cast ??Legions of Steel?? for small armies, and {{path>F1}} Apprentices can cast {{path>N1}} spells the other randoms won't, like ??Healing Touch?? in [[:naaira-communion|healing communions]]. Anecdotally, a ratio of 50% Apprentices and 50% Calystri Magus provides a good baseline in the midgame for having enough communion slaves/healers and casters if you don't wish to balance it on a per-fort basis. | |
| | {{:nations:la:andramania:Calystri_Magus.png?nolink}} | **??Calystri Magus#3921??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 275 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2 | {{path>F1S1N2,100%FES,10%DB}}{{path>R15}} \\ {{:nations:la:andramania:Calystri_soldier.png?25&nolink }} \\ \\ {{:abilities:supply_bonus.png?15&nolink}} [[Supply Bonus]] (20) | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:la:andramania:Calystri_Magus.png?nolink}} | **??Calystri Magus#3921??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 275 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2 | {{path>F1S1N2,100%FES,10%DB}}{{path>R15}} \\ {{:nations:la:andramania:Calystri_soldier.png?25&nolink }} \\ \\ {{:abilities:supply_bonus.png?15&nolink}} [[Supply Bonus]] (20) | A mage which can cast big battlefield spells with exceptional ease, but is a bit expensive for what it does before sufficient research is available. {{path>S2}} Magi can ??Power of the Spheres?? and cast ??Antimagic?? or ??Howl??. {{path>E1}} Magi can grab two communion slaves and cast ??Earthpower?? into ??Legions of Steel??, or cast ??Strength of Gaia?? to get {{path>N4}} and cast ??Oaken Army?? and ??Army Regeneration??. {{path>F2}} Magi are the least useful of the bunch if you don't need fire or cold resistance, as fire evocations are far less effective than buffing Senatorial Guard, but they do get to cast ??Solar Eclipse?? for one gem instead of three, which is very useful when fighting nations without darkvision. In case you have excess Calystri Magi available after buffing, the generic option is casting ??Breath of the Dragon?? and ??Swarm??, preferably with a big communion. | |

| | {{:nations:la:andramania:Serene_Master.png?nolink}} | **??Serene Master#3975??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 260 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 31 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ {{:misc:gui:fortress.png?20&nolink}} Capital Only | {{path>H1}} \\ {{:abilities:sacred.png?20&nolink}} [[Sacred]] \\ {{:abilities:Darkvision.png?15&nolink}} [[Darkvision]] (50%) \\ {{:abilities:animal.png?15&nolink}} [[Animal]] | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:la:andramania:Serene_Master.png?nolink}} | **??Serene Master#3975??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 260 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 31 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ {{:misc:gui:fortress.png?20&nolink}} Capital Only | {{path>H1}} \\ {{:abilities:sacred.png?20&nolink}} [[Sacred]] \\ {{:abilities:Darkvision.png?15&nolink}} [[Darkvision]] (50%) \\ {{:abilities:animal.png?15&nolink}} [[Animal]] | A Calystri General and Calystri Presbyter in one unit. A bit more reliable in expansion than the Presbyter Magistrate due to having armour and enough stats to fight alone if the independents decide to partially ignore your units, but pays a high price for the privilege. | |
| | {{:nations:la:andramania:Magistrate_magus.png?nolink}} | **??Magistrate Magus#3924??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 370 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ {{:misc:gui:fortress.png?20&nolink}} Capital Only | {{path>F2E1S1,100%ESN,10%FWESN}}{{path>R15}} \\ {{:abilities:sacred.png?20&nolink}} [[Sacred]] \\ {{:abilities:old_age.png?15&nolink}} [[Old Age]] (44/30) \\ {{:abilities:tax_collector.png?15&nolink}} [[Tax Collector]] | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:la:andramania:Magistrate_magus.png?nolink}} | **??Magistrate Magus#3924??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 370 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ {{:misc:gui:fortress.png?20&nolink}} Capital Only | {{path>F2E1S1,100%ESN,10%FWESN}}{{path>R15}} \\ {{:abilities:sacred.png?20&nolink}} [[Sacred]] \\ {{:abilities:old_age.png?15&nolink}} [[Old Age]] (44/30) \\ {{:abilities:tax_collector.png?15&nolink}} [[Tax Collector]] | Dreadfully expensive for the same amount of paths as a Calystri Magus, this mage provides the fastest access to {{path>F2}} and {{path>E2}}, if you're desperate for that. Even then, it competes with the Calystri Senator, with which it compares unfavourably. | |
| | {{:nations:la:andramania:Calystri_senator.png?nolink}} | **??Calystri Senator#3925??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 465 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 4 \\ {{:misc:gui:fortress.png?20&nolink}} Capital Only | {{path>F2E1S1N2H2,100%WES,10%FWESN}}{{path>R19}}\\ {{:abilities:sacred.png?20&nolink}} [[Sacred]] \\ {{:nations:la:andramania:Calystri_soldier.png?25&nolink }} \\ \\ {{:abilities:supply_bonus.png?15&nolink}} [[Supply Bonus]] (20) | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:la:andramania:Calystri_senator.png?nolink}} | **??Calystri Senator#3925??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 465 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 4 \\ {{:misc:gui:fortress.png?20&nolink}} Capital Only | {{path>F2E1S1N2H2,100%WES,10%FWESN}}{{path>R19}}\\ {{:abilities:sacred.png?20&nolink}} [[Sacred]] \\ {{:nations:la:andramania:Calystri_soldier.png?25&nolink }} \\ \\ {{:abilities:supply_bonus.png?15&nolink}} [[Supply Bonus]] (20) | Not much more powerful as a mage than the Calystri Magus, the Senator nonetheless provides a few key options, most notably {{path>W1}} access. {{path>S2}} Senators can cast {{path>N4}} spells without a communion via ??Power of the Spheres?? and ??Strength of Gaia??. 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. With two boosters you can even use ??Ritual of Returning?? and ??Teleport?? to surprise your enemies with little risk. | |

| Early game options. | Recruit Calystri Apprentices and research Alt3 for ??Barkskin?? and ??Body Ethereal?? (assuming you're not fighting Abysia) then point buff ??Senatorial Guard?? for your first war. Man at Arms should be recruited in moderate amounts to serve as raiding parties led by independent commanders. |
| |
| ==== Mid Game ==== | ==== Mid Game ==== |
| 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. |
