| **Lossless the Lich** \\ For the god afraid of dying and losing sacreds. \\ Solves all magic problems because it has {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}} Death, {{:misc:magic:glamour.png?15&nolink}} Glamour, and {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}} Blood. (Eventually, needs to be empowered in {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}} Blood, which is not that difficult.) {{:abilities:fear.png?15&nolink}} [[Fear]] works especially well on mounted units because [[Fear]] emanates from both the rider and the mount. Landing sacreds right into your enemy's backline can cause commanders to rout. \\ Not the best pretender in the world, but if you want your cavalry to expand next to lossless, this is the best. Increases tempo in the early game and provides scaling for the late game. Does miss out on the scales for troops. | **Likes Ponies** the Grey One \\ //Because pegasi deserve to fly.// |
| | |
| | Good for the __It's F'n Windy__ strategy. Grey Ones are phenomenal. Being a [[Trinity]], they have great research when they wake up. Having three powerful mages with a lot of crosspaths is always useful. Be aware, they split the magic paths you initially assign them between themselves, and then each one gets different bonus magic. When creating, {{:misc:magic:glamour.png?15&nolink}}Glamour, {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood, and {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}}Death, are all going to be four instead of three, because EA Arco does can't recruit mages with those paths. |
| | |
| | The [[Bless]] is primarily defensive in order to keep the horsies alive. With the scales, you can drop dominion by one increase a different scale, like Growth, by one. |

| | **Hermoine** the Grey One \\ //Book learning for the win.// |
| | |
| | Good for the __Scales Mages__ strategy. Grey Ones are still phenomenal. Being a [[Trinity]], they have great research, almost {{path>R100}}, when they wake up. Having three powerful mages with a lot of crosspaths is always useful. Be aware, they split the magic paths you initially assign them between themselves, and then each one gets different bonus magic. When creating, {{:misc:magic:glamour.png?15&nolink}}Glamour, {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood, and {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}}Death, are priority, because EA Arco does can't recruit mages with those paths. |
| | |
| | The [[Bless]] is decent for expansion. Because EA Arco has {{:abilities:healer.png?15&nolink}} [[Healer]]s, the units will live longer and benefit more from the additional experience. With a Dominion of four, regular troops will need to be used in addition to the [[Sacred]] ones. |
| | |
| | Not an optimal build, but gets research boosted while not sacrificing [[Scales]] or [[Bless]] too much. |

| ===== Weaknesses ===== | ===== Weaknesses ===== |
| What are the nation's weaknesses? | EA Arcoscephale can be countered with small groups of mages with elite bodyguards. ??Wind Rider??s are hard to buff and have difficulty with elites. Ironically, flying troops are quite good against EA Arco as they make it difficult for ??Mystic??s to cast ??Gifts from Heaven??, the ??Mystic??s’ bread-and-butter. |
| |
| | EA Arco’s biggest weakness overall is their reliance on human mages. The mages need forts and time for research, and are susceptible to battlefield clears. |
