fenrir [General Overview] |
| Until around Turn 36, Phlegra is a typical troop-focused nation, if a little overtuned to that end. Following in the [[Mekone-ea|Mekonean]] and [[phlegra-ma|middle Phlegran]] tradition, the nation has small armies of elites that operate alongside //vast// armies of slightly-below-average troops. This time around, technological advancements are in Phlegra's corner, giving its helot hordes crossbows and plate armor with a bottom-dollar cost in [[gold]]. The [[magic]] angle for Phlegra is rather odd, with an auto-[[Communion]] angle offset by only one mage (the ??Oppressor Archon??) having over three levels; this avaricious elite, demonstrating hubris to a tee, also flaunts superfluous [[Astral]] levels that will get him punished by [[Magic Duel|Magic Duels]]. | Until around Turn 36, Phlegra is a typical troop-focused nation, if a little overtuned to that end.

| Then the switch flips. The capital explodes, and [[Pretender God|Pretender]]-grade Titans stream out of it. Phlegra has thuggish mages before this point to practice with, notably the ??Cyclops Smith??, but nothing that compares to these [[Population Killer|murderous]] supercombatants. The nation gets one of these for free, tempting players of Phlegra to go ahead and recruit more -- they take two turns to manufacture, and they will most-certainly destroy the economy, but their power is just that impressive. With the national Global Enchantment that //any// of these ??Laestrygonian Tyrant??s can cast, the capital can also churn out troop versions at a rate of one-per-turn, provided that anyone's still alive to supply them. | Then the switch flips.

| Religion-wise, Phlegra has no [[Sacred]] troops and a [[Dominion]] effect that passively taxes its provinces, though its special mechanic is at least //worse// on enemy provinces than on friendly ones. If one considers a [[Bless]], they should consider it as a tool for aiding their [[Pretender]] and [[Prophet]], remembering that their late-game Prophets can be incredibly impressive. They could also take negative [[Scales]] and high Dominion strength to double-down on the economic ruination of their enemies, but these will vex the hungry homeland first (unless you're //incredibly// aggressive with your Pretender and Prophet). | Religion-wise, Phlegra has no [[Sacred]] troops and a [[Dominion]] effect that passively taxes its provinces, though its special mechanic is at least stronger on enemy provinces than on friendly ones.
