Pangaea is a woodland nation inhabited by wild beings connected with nature. Halfmen such as satyrs, centaurs and minotaurs serve the lords of the Sacred Groves deep in the forests. The expansion of the civilized nations has forced the beasts of Pangaea to arm themselves with man-made weapons. Minotaurs wield huge battleaxes and centaurs are trained to use spears and longbows. The magic of the Panii lures women into the forests where they turn wild and shed all their clothing. These women are called Maenads and are turned loose to fight humans with their bare hands and teeth.

"Pangaea is a nation of wild half-men of Greek myth, as they could have developed if exposed to a vast and technologically superior humanity: Iron or skin. Adapt or die. As in most cultures exposed to so-called civilization, some inhabitants cling to traditions, or current perceptions of them; while others adapt to the circumstances, with loss or gain in influence. The loss of ancient magic and traditions over the ages is quite apparent in this nation, but in the late era the centaurs have found new paths of magic, giving hope to the nation." -Illwinter

Pangaea is one of the few nations to have been present in Dominions since the original Dominions: Priests, Prophets and Pretenders game. Early Pangaea is the newest of the three Pangaeas, however, created in Dominions 3 with the Era split. Middle Pangaea is closest to the Pangaea in the first game, while Late Pangaea has its origins in Dominions 2.

A fun nation, with a variety of species familiar from Greek mythology. A generally straightforward nation, but has a variety of tricks in its toolbox, including a variety of stealthy units, berserking heavy infantry, a powerful Sacred, seduction, freespawn, and the best scout in the game. And it still has solid magic access. Loves forests for cheaper buildings and recruiting without forts.

The Grove of Gaia: Increased Growth in the Capitol, (by a maximum of three).

Blood Sacrifice: Priests can sacrifice a blood slave at a temple to help extend the dominion. The amount of blood slaves a Priest can sacrifice in a turn is capped at their Holy level. Generally, EA Pangaea has a difficult time getting blood slaves, with its only Blood mage, a Pan, being very expensive.

Primitive Forts cost 1500, (50% more than regular forts,) and cannot be improved.The 300 for Labs and Temples in Forests is half the normal price.

Watch out for armies that are completely Stealthy. Stealth moving is the default, and it is easy to order a stealth move when what you want is an attack move (ctrl + left click).

All of EA Pangaea's units have Recuperation. Recuperation helps strong units, especially the Sacred White Centaurs, not get worn down over time. Fewer losses in battle and to crippled units dying on the march.

: Stealthy (+40), Forest Survival, Recuperation

Sprite	Unit Name	Special Attributes	Comments
	Black Harpy 35 1 1 Forest Recruit	Stealthy (+60) Gluttony (-1) Flying Forest Survival Recuperation Female	A great scout, with the combination of high Stealth and Flying. Might be prophet material, although they are fragile.
	Satyr Commander 60 5 1		Cheap, stealthy commander. Can only lead two squads and doesn't give a Morale bonus. Can't do formations, but many of EA Pangaea's troops are Undisciplined anyway. Grab one from an unforted forest when you need a commander and save on commander points in your forts.
	Minotaur Lord 95 7 1 Forest Recruit	Berserker (+5) Trample Forest Survival Recuperation	Not stealthy, and still can only lead two squads with no Morale bonus and no formations. Blends in with minotaur troops. It's not a great thug chassis, requiring too many items to be only moderately effective. Makes a durable prophet.
	Centaur Hierophant 170 4 2 Forest Recruit	11100%7 Sacred Inspirational (+1)	Similar to the non-Sacred troop versions. EA Pangaea's best researcher option, although only decent for the price. Their paths are okay, but not incredibly helpful. If there's a Temple in a forest, they can be recruited without a fort.
	Centauride Hierophantide 170 3 2 Forest Recruit	11100%7 Sacred Inspirational (+1) Female
	Dryad 260 1 2	1129 Sacred Stealthy (+65) Awe (+4) Supply Bonus (+10) Seduction (Morale vs. 9) Beastmaster (1) Forest Survival Recuperation Female	An okay mage and 2 allows casting Sermon of Courage. Seducing has to be done in a territory bordering yours. Cheap for a seducer, although could use items to help, such as the Cat Charm and Handful of Acorns. Good paths for seduction and Awe is helpful, as well.
	Dryad Mother 425 1 2	2121100% 10%13 Sacred Stealthy (+65) Awe (+5) Supply Bonus (+20) Seduction (Morale vs. 9) Beastmaster (2) Ivy Lord (1) Forest Survival Recuperation Female	Similar to Dryad. Glamour opens up a variety of spell possibilities. Ivy Lord helps with summoning vine men. (Give her an Ivy Crown to make it even more efficient.) Might be too expensive to risk on seduction attempts.
	Pan 455 1 4	1411100% 10%19 Poison Resistance (10) Animal Awe (+3) Supply Bonus (+40) Beastmaster (+3) Summon in Turmoil (Maenad)	Powerful mage, with high Nature and good crosspaths. Slow-to-recruit and expensive, but worth it. 4 allows it to cast major buffs that are especially helpful for EA Pangaea's troops. Pans have high upkeep, but this can be countered with Transformation. (A little risky, but probably worth it, especially when cast in high Luck territories.) Some Blood Hunting is probably good, although Pans are too expensive to fully devote to it. Armor of Thorns though, is usually worth getting. Pans can also make Blood Stones. The automatically summoned Maenads make good chaff, and can be worth taking more Turmoil for. Making a Pan a prophet can also reduce the upkeep cost, but they are generally too expensive to get early. Also, they have other, important, uses. Can cast Strength of Gaia for that +1 and other benefits. With a Thistle Mace then getting it to 6, it can cast Nature spells indefinitely.

An okay, if unexceptional, troop lineup with some special abilities, but with one of the best Sacreds in the game. The ability to recruit some in Forests without any infrastructure can help beef up army size, or efficiently create small raiding parties.

: Stealthy (+40), Forest Survival, Recuperation

Sprite	Unit Name	Special Attributes	Comments
	Harpy 7 1 3 Forest Recruit	Gluttony (-1) Flying Female	Not very strong, but cheap and stealthy. Can be used to disrupt enemy formations or throw off enemy mage scripts. A good harassing unit.
	Satyr Sneak 9 3 6 Forest Recruit	Stealthy (+60) Cause Unrest (+0.5) Undisciplined Forest Survival Recuperation	Cheap and decent unit. Cause Unrest of .5 is pretty high. A stealth raiding party of these can cause unrest in-between taking territory, but keep them out of your provinces. Human opponents may notice the mysteriously spiking unrest and know what it means.
	Satyr 9 4 6 Forest Recruit	Undisciplined	Cheap and decent. Javelins are always nice.
	Satyr Warrior 13 5 21	Forest Survival Recuperation	Decent and cheap, again. The only option EA Pangaea has for a front line, damage soaking unit. The shield protects a little from ranged attacks.
	Reveler 16 3 14	Berserker (+3) Increases Unrest (+0.5) Undisciplined	Pretty good, more expensive, probably worth it. Enough HP to survive a hit and actually go berserk, and the recuperation will help to recover from the Affliction that probably occurred. Berserk +3 is good even before the Reveler's additional hoof attack doubles its effectiveness. Remember, they do Cause Unrest.
	Centaur 25 4 12 Forest Recruit		A lot of gold for an archer. Only two to a square, so difficult to buff. They're strong, with high Precision and a good bow. Their two decent melee attacks combined with a high Defense Skill means they're not completely defenseless in melee.
	Centauride 25 3 12 Forest Recruit	Female	Shorter range than a Centaur, with higher precision. The lower damage can make it difficult for Poison or other buffs to proc. Otherwise similar.
	Centauride Warrior 30 11 17	Female	A light cavalry unit who is similar to White Centaur Sacreds, good for bulking up their squads. Okay otherwise, the javelin is nice, but lacking the hat and the lance of the Centaur Warrior.
	Centaur Warrior 35 11 21	Berserker (+3)	A great light cavalry unit with a hat and shield. Very fast, which helps with flanking. Has a first attack bonus on its lance, and two attacks total. Berserker +3 is great, especially because of the two attacks.
	Minotaur 40 6 6 Forest Recruit	Berserker (+4) Undisciplined Dungeon Monster Trample Forest Survival Recuperation	Okay, but pricey. Effective against the right foes: foes they can trample but can't hit back too hard or big foes with plenty of armor. Minotaurs tend to Fatigue themselves out quickly because of Trampling. Not good for front-line, grindy combat due to their low Protection, lack of hat and shield, and low attack density.
	Minotaur Warrior 50 7 18	Berserker (+5) Trample Forest Survival Recuperation	Same as above, but with higher Protection and disciplined. Still lacking hats and shields, and the protection is low for the price. Still not good as a general troop, but effective in the above listed situations.
	White Centaur 55 12 29	Sacred Berserker (+3)	Arguably, one of the best Sacreds. A little expensive, but cheap enough to recruit the maximum amount every turn. High Map Move, high Combat Speed, high Defence Skill, low Encumbrance for long combats, hat and shield, javelin, and two melee attacks. Stealthy, (of course,) Berserk +3 is great and Recuperation helps them last a long time. White Centaurs are one of the real strengths of EA Pangaea.

Many of EA Pangaea's mages can cast these. Each causes a different effect in a massive area, (25 squares,) centered on the caster. They have low fatigue costs, but their short ranges make them difficult to script. Maybe use 1 mages with nothing else to do, give them Barkskin, and set them to "Advance and Cast," hoping they'll cast these.

• Tune of Fear (Enchantment 0) 1
  Causes Fear 3 in a massive area of effect, centered on the caster.
• Tune of Growth (Enchantment 0) 1
  Causes Entanglement in a massive area of effect, centered on the caster. It's like Wild Growth with a shorter range and even larger area, available right from the start of the match.
• Tune of Dancing Death (Enchantment 0) 1
  Causes 31+ Fatigue damage in a massive area of effect, centered on the caster.

• Grow Fortress (Alteration 0) 4 and 35
  In Forest
  Or in Kelp Forest
  Instant fortress. Build a cheap lab in a forest, and then instantly have a fortress for 35 instead of 1500 . And nature gems are extremely easy for EA Pangaea to come by. Can be cast by all Panii.

• Thorn Spear (Construction 3)
  1 and 4
  A somewhat-typical magic weapon that also deals 15 Poison Damage if it gets through the target's Protection.
• Thorn Staff (Construction 3)
  1 and 4
  Aside from having the same Poison effect as the Thorn Spear, the Thorn Staff provides more Defence Skill than a Shield. A Thorn Spear and a magic shield would provide higher Defence, but that would take an extra mage turn of setup (and more gems).

Pan is EA Pangaea's only Blood mage, and an expensive one at that. It severely limits the nation's ability to search for Blood Slaves, and so its ability to use Blood magic.

• No fire magic
• No air magic (except for one hero)
• 1 on one-in-two Centauride Hierophantides
• 2 on one-in-two Panii

• No astral magic
• No death magic (except through dire circumstances with one hero)
• 4 on each Panii
• 2 on one-in-three Dryad Mothers

• 2 on one-in-two Panii
• 2 on each Dryad Mother

• 421: Strength of Gaia (powerful self-buffing), Gaia's Blessing (all four Elemental Resistances at once), strong animal summons
• 421: Blood Fecundity (+2 Ritual), Dark Vines, Cross Breeding (piles of random monsters)
• 22: Elf Shot (Fatigue-sniping), various Faeries
• 211: Mossbody (Damage Reduction), various AOE poison things (i.e. Foul Vapors), Water Kobolds (Sailing)
• 211: Cave Kobolds (high-damage smallfolk), various Crystal items (i.e. Crystal Hearts that provide Extra Lives)

Forest Troll Tribe
3 Hamadryad or Pan
The Troll Shaman has at least 1.

Highest Starting: 4 Pan (1 in 2)

Contact Naiad
1 Dryad Mother (1 in 3) +
EA Pangaea doesn't have easy access to two Water boosters, so it might need a level of empowerment (30).

Highest Starting: 2 Pan (1 in 2)
Empower a Pan 142 (1 in 2 Chance) to 3 (45). Climb the path simultaneously as you climb Earth, switching boosters between the two Panii as needed. The combo of Blood and Earth makes it doable.

Armor of Twisting Thorns Unremovable
42 Pan (1 in 2) +

White Centaurs are such strong [Sacred|[Sacreds]] that they benefit from a lot of different blesses. They are cap-only, and EA Pangaea doesn't have any sacred summons, so focusing on them can be putting all your eggs in one basket.

Some good bless options: Blood Surge, Awe, Fear, and anything that increases Protection.

With a strong Sacred and decent troops, a real benefit to having forests, and cheap infrastructure, (especially in those forests,) EA Pangaea benefits from being aggressive early. An Awake Expander may help with this strategy. Look for neighbors who lack good counters to your White Centaurs and may be susceptible to swarming by your massive amount of troops recruited from forts, forests, and freespawned by Panii, before they can build up there own infrastructure.

Blood Fecundity (Blood 4) 22 and 10+
+2 to Growth for one additional month for each additional Blood Slave sacrificed. When a territory gets to Growth 4, it terraforms into a forest. So, cast the spell in a Growth 2 territory and see it become a forest. Sadly, requires a lab in the territory first because the spell has no range.

EA Pangaea lacks heavy troops or good line troops, so the nation dislikes long, grindy combat.
