| ===== Overview ===== | ===== Overview ===== |
| |
| | [[nations-la|Late]] Man is a somewhat-rough nation to play, quite set against its beginner-friendly [[man-ma|middle]] incarnation. It has fairly decent soldiers, pony-riders, tier-5 forts, and studious mages who might not even know anything useful. |
| | |
| | To start with, Man has a wide spectrum of troops: terrible ones, mediocre ones, and elites. There are varieties of the independent "heavy" infantry who wear green pants instead of red ones, from the [[nations-ma|previous]] age. There are [[stealthy]] men who wear glorified plainclothes and dual-wield, also from the previous age. There are axemen who wouldn't be out of place in [[midgard-la|Midgård]], though they at least have enough [[Strength]] to penetrate armor with their risky weapon choice. There are archers, crossbowmen, and longbowmen, all of which narrowly outdo the projectile spam of most other nations with their extra point or two of [[Precision]]. There are even fellows who perform decently well both in melee combat and at range: the ??Tower Guard??, the ??Defender??, and the [[Sacred]] ??Warden??. Last-but-not-least, there are the ??Tower Knight??s, who would much rather //not// fight alongside Man's crossbowmen. Simply picking what to use can be overwhelming. |
| | |
| | Man can (and generally should) take decent [[Scales]], to print money and men. Man's [[magic|mages]] don't really mind [[Scales#Magic-and-Drain|Drain]], given how they ignore it in their [[Research]] and typically use spells that don't operate off [[Magic Resistance]]. {{scales>dr3}} means getting {{scales>O2P1}} (or {{scales>O1P2}}) without affecting your [[Dominion]] strength or your [[Bless]], for just that many more of whichever troops or commanders you want. The penalty to your starting [[Research]] points is fixed, something that having more [[fort|forts]] will more than make up for. |
| | |
| | As for the mages themselves, they are distinctly inconsistent, befitting a nation that essentially restarted from scratch fifty years ago. There are two //official// mages: the ??Lord Warden?? (who's priced as one of those "do-anything" commanders, like a [[vanheim-ea|Vanherse]]), and the "dedicated" ??Magister Arcane??. The Magister Arcane is priced as a mid-tier combat mage, and essentially //is// one 90% of the time; he also has the problem of being vulnerable to an [[Astral]] [[Magic Duel|war of attrition]], but fortunately this is the [[ages|Age]] where initiating one is the most expensive. There are also two "minor mages" for Research, but these aren't guaranteed to have //any// magic paths, though the one with the lowest chance of having any is balanced by costing only 1 Commander Point and not needing a [[laboratory|lab]]. Those without magic levels still have at least one use, whether it's [[Spy|espionage]], [[Siege|fort-popping]], [[Mason|Citadel-improving]], or [[Patrol|Unrest-reducing]]. |
