| The more powerful of EA Pelagia's mages are [[aquatic]] and so cannot go on land. This limits access to summons that need to be on land, including ones useful for climbing paths or gaining new paths. | ==== Recruits ==== |
| |
| === Flame === | ===Elements:=== |
| No national access. No simple summons. | * No Fire magic |
| | * {{path>A1}} on around 1-in-3 ??Pearl King??s (capital only), and on 1-in-4 mages off-capital |
| | * {{path>W4}} on ??Pearl King??s (capital only), {{path>W3}} on 1-in-4 ??Pearl Mage??s in other seas, and {{path>W1}} on-land |
| | * {{path>E1}} on 1-in-4 Merman Mages, both on-land and in the sea |
| | ===Sorceries:=== |
| | * {{path>S2}} on around 1-in-3 ??Pearl King??s (capital only) and 1-in-4 ??Pearl Mage??s in other seas, uncommon {{path>S1}} on-land |
| | * No Death magic |
| | * {{path>N2}} on around 1-in-3 ??Pearl King??s (captial only) and 1-in-4 ??Pearl Mage??s in other seas, uncommon {{path>N1}} on-land |
| | * No Glamour magic |
| | ===Others:=== |
| | * No Blood magic |
| | * {{path>H3}} on ??Pearl King??s (capital only), {{path>H2}} in other seas, {{path>H1}} on-land |
| |
| === Air === | ====Advanced Access==== |
| Both ??Pearl King?? (1 in 3) and ??Pearl Mage?? (1 in 4) can have {{path>A1}}. Empowerment in {{:misc:magic:air.png?15&nolink}}Air is necessary, but with a ??Starshine Skullcap?? to create the unique ??Tome of High Power??, at least one {{:misc:magic:air.png?15&nolink}}Air booster can be made before reaching {{path>A4}}. | EA Pelagia's better mages cannot go on land without ??Shambler Skin Armor??, a ??Robe of the Sea??, or an ??Amulet of the Fish??. The real limiting factor of Pelagia's magic is that Pelagia has trouble getting onto shore at all, however, as there aren't many booster combinations that require both the miscellaneous slots and the armor slot to be filled. Being aquatic has its own benefits, however, such as easier access to the ??Bishop Fish?? for relatively-swift Throne-grabbing. |
| |
| The hero, ??Thaumas - Wondrous??, has {{path>A3S3}}, can create the unique ??Tome of High Power??. Otherwise, it is only one empowerment away from key path {{path>A4}}. | Pelagia does have ??Thaumas - Wondrous??, who possesses {{path>A3W4S3N1}}. This is an awkward array to have, since it's just shy of multiple thresholds, but he really is better than nothing. |
| | |
| | === Fire === |
| | //No native access.// |
| | |
| | === Air === |
| | Thaumas needs only one [[empowerment]] to get to {{path>A4}} for the grand ladder-climb; or he can forge the ??Tome of High Power?? when you reach Construction level 9. There is no way to have a Queen of Air underwater, however, so the climb ends at {{path>A6}} unless Pelagia maintains a persistent presence on the Closed Realm. Without Thaumas, Pelagia's Air access is what it is. |
| |
| === Water === | === Water === |
| An easy climb to begin with, the ??Pearl King??'s {{path>W4}} makes it even easier. Especially since the ??Queen of Elemental Water?? can only be summoned underwater anyway. | Notably, Pelagia needs only Construction Level 5 (and Conjuration Level 8) to summon a Queen of Water, due to their {{path>W4}} ??Pearl King??s. The only big Water booster out of Pelagia's reach (that only boosts Water) is the [[atlantis-ea|Orb of Atlantis]]. |
| |
| === Earth === | === Earth === |
| {{path>E1}} ??Pelagian Mermage?? (1 in 4) is the only recruitable {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth access. It does not have a useful crosspath. | {{path>E1}} is a sad path to have, almost completely unboostable without Empowerment. Oh well. |
| |
| === Astral === | === Astral === |
| {{path>S2}} ??Pearl King?? (1 in 3) does not have any useful crosspaths and neither do any of the other mages who can get {{:misc:magic:astral.png?15&nolink}}Astral. | Like with Air, Thaumas can forge the Tome of High Power to get {{path>S4}} at Conjuration Level 9. With the ??Starshine Skullcap??, the book, and an empowerment, he can start forging the ??Ring of Sorcery?? and the ??Ring of Wizardry??; or, if you're not patient enough for artifacts (or if you don't like [[Horror Mark|Horror Marks]], you can empower him twice for the task. Pelagia can get a good deal more Astral Pearls than other nations, due to its efficient [[Alchemy]] with Pearl Cultivation. By empowering themselves up to casting ??Wish??, the Pelagians can then spend {{gems>100S}} to boost all of their magic paths by 1 at the same time. |
| | |
| The hero, ??Thaumas - Wondrous??, has {{path>S3}}. Still doesn't have any useful crosspaths. | |
| |
| === Death === | === Death === |
| No native access. A {{path>N3}} [[amphibious]] mage can cast, on land, ??Forest Troll Tribe?? for at least {{path>D1}}. ??Pelagian Mermage?? is the only natively {{:misc:magic:nature.png?15&nolink}}Nature and [[amphibious]] mage. | //No native access.// A {{path>N3}} with lungs or an air-breather can summon a ??Forest Troll Tribe??, however; that can give the nation a {{path>D2}} with a little luck, or a {{path>D1}} otherwise, if the nation can maintain a lab on-shore. |
| |
| === Nature === | === Nature === |
| {{path>W3N1}} ??Pearl Mage?? (1 in 4) or ??Pearl King?? can ??Contact Naiad??, jumping up to {{path>N3}}. With an easy to make ??Thistle Mace??, the {{path>N2}} ??Pearl King?? (1 in 3) can make a ??Moonvine Bracelet??. Given to the ??Naiad??, she gets to {{path>F5}} and the ??Treelord's Staff??. | ??Contact Naiad?? lets {{path>W3N1}} mages (such as any of your ??Pearl King??s) get a {{path>W3N3}} mage, and an amphibious one at that. A {{path>S1N2}} mage with a ??Thistle Mace?? (such as a third of your ??Pearl King??s) can then craft a ??Moonvine Bracelet??. Then the Naiad can craft the ??Treelord's Staff?? for {{path>N6}}. Unfortunately, {{path>N7}} is unattainable without Empowerment, as the Treelords don't have arms. |
| | |
| No easy access to any additional arms, so the ??Thistle Mace?? cannot be used at the same time as the ??Treelord's Staff??. | |
| |
| === Glamour === | === Glamour === |
| No native access. A {{path>E4}} [[amphibious]] mage can cast, on land, ??Troll King's Court?? for at least {{path>G1}}. ??Pelagian Mermage?? is the only natively {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth and [[amphibious]] mage. | //No native access.// ??Forest Troll Tribe?? has a 1-in-4 chance to give you a {{path>G1}} ??Troll Shaman??, however. |
| | |
| A {{path>N3}} [[amphibious]] mage can cast, on land, ??Forest Troll Tribe?? for at least 1 in 4 chance of {{path>G1}}. ??Pelagian Mermage?? is the only natively {{:misc:magic:nature.png?15&nolink}}Nature and [[amphibious]] mage. | |
| |
| === Blood === | === Blood === |
| No native access. A {{path>N5}} [[amphibious]] mage can cast, on land, ??Awaken Treelord?? for at least 1 in 3 chance of {{path>B1}}. ??Pelagian Mermage?? is the only natively {{:misc:magic:nature.png?15&nolink}}Nature and [[amphibious]] mage. | //No native access.// If you really want some Blood, but you don't have land provinces for bootstrapping... well, you'll need a land province to summon the {{path>N4B1}} ??Treelord#980??, so you better start working. That Treelord can't move, so you'll need a province with a decent population as well. |
