| In Dominions 4 another influence was added to C'tis: the Sobeks of Trade & Taint. They were initially a T&T version of C'tis and Pythium, with theurgs, legionnaires and necromancers as possible career options.

| | C'tis is one of the original fourteen nations in //Dominions: Priests, Prophets, and Pretenders//. While the technology of units in that game became the baseline for the [[Ages|Middle Ages]], Early C'tis is very close to the C'tis of the first game, though [[c-tis-ma|Middle]] C'tis's troops are a bit closer. |

| | {{:nations:ea:ctis:militia.png?nolink }} The C'tissian citizenry are **herbivorous lizardfolk**. These **Size 3** (three-to-a-square) beings have **11 HP**, **5 [[Protection|Natural Protection]]**, and **12 [[Magic Resistance]]**; despite their toughness, however, they have only **9 Morale** after standard training. These lizardfolk are also slow; they have **12 Map Movement**, **10 Combat Speed**, and an alarming **4 [[Encumbrance]]** naked. Such is the price paid by {{:abilities:cold_blooded.png?15&nolink}} **[[cold-blooded|reptiles]]** who never engaged in hunting. Used to the foul {{:abilities:swamp_survival.png?15&nolink}} **Swamp**, C'tissians are unimpeded by both swamps and {{:abilities:swimming.png?15&nolink}} **Rivers**, and they bear **5 {{:abilities:resist_poison.png?15&nolink}} [[Poison Resistance]]**. |

| | {{:nations:ea:ctis:slave_warrior.png?nolink }} Most C'tissian {{:abilities:slave.png?15&nolink}} slaves are **carnivorous lizardfolk**. These **Size 3** (three-to-a-square) beings have **13 HP**, **3 [[Protection|Natural Protection]]**, and **11 [[Magic Resistance]]**, and their **8 Morale** is pretty good by the standards of slaves. They share in the herbivores' {{:abilities:swamp_survival.png?15&nolink}} **Swamp Survival**, {{:abilities:swimming.png?15&nolink}} **Swimming** ability, {{:abilities:cold_blooded.png?15&nolink}} **Cold Blood** (and elevated [[Encumbrance]]), and **{{:abilities:resist_poison.png?15&nolink}} [[Poison Resistance]]**, but their eating habits have made them diverge significantly. A regular carnivore "lizard" has **11's** in **Attack Skill** and **Combat Speed** (naked), for instance, and a **bonus attack** (their flesh-tearing Bite) that limits them to a mere **9 Defence Skill**. |

| | EA C'tis can not make the extra arms items. |
| | |
| | === Nature === |
