The last ability could potentially be used to create unrest in an enemy capital (assuming they are able to sneak all the way there and not get patrolled out), shutting down its recruitment with enough Voices of Spider. | |

Unlike the ??Lion Clan Warrior?? troop counterpart, this wears a decent helmet, making it less prone to getting killed by arrows. Has unusually high map move (18) for a moderately-armoured human commander. | |

However, they can still cast spells like ??Barkskin??, ??Web??, ??Vine Arrow??, etc.\\ \\ Voices of Lion are primarily interesting for having the Tight Rain ability, allowing them to give orders to [[undisciplined]] units. This means Machaka can potentially use units like ??Barbarian??s, ??Ko-Oni??s, ??Fire Drake??s, etc. to much greater effect than other nations. | |
| | {{:nations:ea:machaka:spider_clan_witch_doctor.png?25&nolink}} | **??Spider Clan Witch Doctor??**\\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 140\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2 | {{path>F1D1N1G1}}{{:misc:gui:research.png?15&nolink}}9\\ {{:abilities:resist_poison.png?15&nolink}} [[Poison Resistance]] (5)\\ {{:abilities:ineptresearcher.png?15&nolink}} [[Inept Researcher]] (-4)\\ {{:abilities:supplybonus.png?15&nolink}} [[Supply Bonus]] (+10)\\ {{:abilities:forestsurvival.png?15&nolink}} [[Forest Survival]] | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:ea:machaka:spider_clan_witch_doctor.png?nolink}} | **??Spider Clan Witch Doctor??**\\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 140\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2 | {{path>F1D1N1G1}}{{:misc:gui:research.png?15&nolink}}9\\ {{:abilities:resist_poison.png?15&nolink}} [[Poison Resistance]] (5)\\ {{:abilities:ineptresearcher.png?15&nolink}} [[Inept Researcher]] (-4)\\ {{:abilities:supplybonus.png?15&nolink}} [[Supply Bonus]] (+10)\\ {{:abilities:forestsurvival.png?15&nolink}} [[Forest Survival]] | Spider Clan Witch Doctors have low paths but some interesting cross-paths. In particular, they can cast ??Eagle Eyes?? and then spam ??Bane Fire Dart?? for fairly accurate, armour-negating damage. They are also a cheap way to spam ??Luck?? onto your troops. | |
| | {{:nations:ea:machaka:hyena_clan_witch_doctor.png?25&nolink}} | **??Hyena Clan Witch Doctor??**\\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 230\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2 | {{path>F1E1D2}}{{:misc:gui:research.png?15&nolink}}13\\ {{:abilities:disease_healer.png?15&nolink}} [[Disease Healer]] (1)\\ {{:abilities:heretic.png?15&nolink}} [[Heretic]] (1)\\ {{:abilities:wasteland_survival.png?15&nolink}} [[Wasteland Survival]] | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:ea:machaka:hyena_clan_witch_doctor.png?nolink}} | **??Hyena Clan Witch Doctor??**\\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 230\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2 | {{path>F1E1D2}}{{:misc:gui:research.png?15&nolink}}13\\ {{:abilities:disease_healer.png?15&nolink}} [[Disease Healer]] (1)\\ {{:abilities:heretic.png?15&nolink}} [[Heretic]] (1)\\ {{:abilities:wasteland_survival.png?15&nolink}} [[Wasteland Survival]] | Hyena Clan Witch Doctors are faster to recruit and cheaper than Boudas, but worse in most ways. They are cheaper for casting spells like ??Shadow Bolt?? or ??Horde of Skeletons??, but they are less flexible due to their lower Earth paths. They are a very fast way to turn fort turns into research, however. | |

They can cast basically all of the Earth buffs and spam ??Horde of Skeletons??. Death randoms are especially useful, being able to cast ??Soul Vortex?? and ??Bane Fire?? without using gems; consider ??Twiceborn??ing these for the chance of gaining {{path>D4}} when they get their second life. The Bouda's stealthy Werehyena form is great for raiding, with 22 map move and full humanoid slots despite walking on all fours. They are even efficient item forgers due to their Forge Bonus ability, which is especially good for 5-gem items like ??Lightless Lantern??s, the ubiquitous ??Greatsword of Sharpness??, ??Burning Pearl??s, and more.\\ \\ Be aware of their causing unrest and reducing dominion in their province; if possible, it is best to station Boudas who are not needed for battle in a low-income province. | |

On the bright side, the Great Spider mount comes with both a ranged and a melee Web attack, which locks down enemy units, massively reducing their Defence Skill until they can beat a strength check to escape. These could serve a purpose against high-Defence elite units (e.g. ??Tuatha Warrior??s, ??Helhirding??s), as long as you can keep them from taking the brunt of the enemy attack on their own. | |

While their armour provides little protection, Lion Warriors have 21 protection against mundane damage thanks to their invulnerability, allowing them to shrug off most attacks from non-giant troops. They also have a powerful magic weapon attack themselves which fatigues the enemy if the original attack lands and does damage. The high base damage of the Spirit Club attack makes the second part pretty easy, but Lion Warriors can struggle against high-Defence targets due to their merely good Attack Skill (12). This makes Lion Warriors a natural counter to big single targets that can be harassed down. \\ \\ The primary weakness of the Lion Warrior is their reliance on Invulnerability for protection; without a major bless, Lion Warriors are easily defeated by elite units with magic weapons (e.g. ??Tuatha Warrior??s, ??Gigante Hoplite??s, ??Rephaite Warrior??s), or any magic evocations. | |

| | =====Magic Access===== |
| | //See [[Magic Access]].// These guides supplement the summaries at the top. |
| | |
| | === Fire === |
| | ??Lion Queen??, with {{path>F3}}, is the highest reliable recruitable mage. Any of the {{path>F1D1}} mages can create a ??Skull of Fire??. |
| | |
| | === Air === |
| | **No native access.** {{path>N1G4}} for ??Faerie Court?? cast in Cold has 1 in 2 chance of {{path>A1}}. Cast in other than Cold, 1 in 3 chance. |
| | |
| | === Water === |
| | **No native access.** {{path>D2N5}} to ??Contact Lamia Queen?? for a 7 in 16 chance of {{path>W1}}. |
| | |
| | {{path>D3}} can cast ??Summon Spectre?? for a 7 in 16 chance of at least {{path>W1}}. |
| | |
| | {{path>N1G4}} for ??Faerie Court?? cast in Cold gives {{path>W3}}. Cast in other than Cold gives a 1 in 3 chance of {{path>W1}}. |
| | |
| | === Earth === |
| | {{path>E3}} ??Bouda?? (1 in 3) is the most reliable recruitable mage for {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth. Giving ??Earth Boots?? to a ??Lion Queen?? will allow it to attempt to create the unique ??The Tome of Gaia??. Even with it, one level of empowerment is necessary to get to ??King of Elemental Earth??. Without it, even getting to {{path>E5}} and a ??King of Elemental Earth?? is not that helpful because the King can't wear the ??Earth Boots?? and so can't get to {{path>E6}}. |
| | |
| | === Astral === |
| | **No native access.** {{path>E3D1}} casts ??Hidden in Sand?? and ??Hidden Underneath??, which both have ~3 in 4 chance of at least {{path>S1}}. |
| | |
| | {{path>D3}} can cast ??Summon Spectre?? for a 7 in 16 chance of at least {{path>S1}}. |
| | |
| | === Death === |
| | {{path>D3}} ??Bouda?? (1 in 3), will need both a ??Skull Staff?? and a level of empowerment to reach {{path>D5}}, the next major step up {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}}Death. |
| | |
| | EA Machaka can make ??The Silver Arms??, which is useful for {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}}Death's multiple two-handed boosters. |
| | |
| | === Nature === |
| | ??Lion King?? has {{path>N3}}. With ??Earth Boots??, he can make the unique ??The Tome of Gaia??. Without ??The Tome of Gaia?? a level of empowerment is needed to get to a ??Treelord's Staff?? at {{path>N5}}. |
| | |
| | EA Machaka can make ??The Copper Arm?? and ??The Silver Arms??, which are useful for {{:misc:magic:nature.png?15&nolink}}Nature's multiple hand held boosters. |
| | |
| | === Glamour === |
| | ??Spider Clan Sorcerer?? has a ~1 in 5 chance of {{path>G2}} and ~1 in 25 chance of {{path>G3}}. {{path>G3}} is necessary for the first booster, ??Gossamer Veil??. |
| |
| ===== National Spells and Items===== | The next booster, a ??Mirage Crystal?? requires {{path>E2G3}}. The {{path>E2}} is simple, just give ??Earth Boots??, crafted by a ??Bouda??, to a ??Spider Clan Sorcerer?? with an {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth path (~1 in 5). But, getting that same sorcerer to {{path>G3}} is tricky. Only ~1 in 25 ??Spider Clan Sorcerer??s have {{path>G2E1}}. Empowerment may be necessary. |
| |
| ===Combat=== | Once the ??Spider Clan Sorcerer?? is at {{path>G4}}, with a {{:misc:magic:fire.png?15&nolink}}Fire booster, it can attempt to craft the unique ??The Sword of Many Colors??. |
| * **??Geas??** //(Thaumaturgy 3)// \\ {{path>G2}} \\ Single-target magic that puts a stronger version of ??Rage?? upon the target, having them spend their rounds attacking random units nearby. Geas is very hard to resist with [[Magic Resistance]] (+4 to the penetration roll). Each round, Geased units may attempt a [[Morale]] check of some sort to shirk off the Geas; if they manage it, they get [[Cursed]]. The range of Geas is lacking, at least for mages far from the frontlines. | |
| |
