| ===== General Overview ===== | ===== General Overview ===== |
| If you are considering picking this nation to play, what should you know? | |
| | Middle Phlegra succeeds [[Mekone-ea|Mekone]] as a nation of small giant armies and //huge// human armies. There are no [[Sacred]] troops, and none of the giants are Sacred, but nothing stops you from naming one of your ??Phlegran Tyrant??s or ??Elder Cyclops??es a [[Prophet]]. Making your elite commanders better is never a bad idea, but Phlegra primarily wants highly favorable [[Scales]]; if not for recruiting the regular troops and the mid-grade Cyclopes, then at least for both manufacturing //more// of those tyrannical elites and surviving their impact. |
| | |
| | Phlegra's economy is rather fragile. The best troops and commanders drum up [[Unrest]]; not that you absolutely need the ??Gigante Warrior??s, but the commanders are what make Middle Phlegra stand out. Said Unrest can be tackled by the helot squads the Tyrants can [[Slaver|seize]] for free, though a [[Patrol|Patrolling]] unit is one on the defensive. Phlegra's [[Dominion]] does //not// tackle Unrest, and even works against Phlegra's economy due to the [[turn order]] -- though, if you've taken [[Scales#Order-and-Turmoil|Order]], that will help as usual. |
| | |
| | [[Magic|Magically]], Phlegra is weird. As a mostly human nation it has access to [[Communion|Communions]], specifically of the Astral variety; however, lacking [[Astral]], these automatically assemble among the nation's ??Trophimos Oppressor??s and ??Shackled Mage??s instead. Like the [[pythium-ma|Pythian]] ??Theurg Communicant??, the Shackled Mage is largely pathetic outside of propping up these arrays. In contrast, the Shackled Mage is technically a mage who can typically attempt [[research|strategic]] [[items|mage]] [[magic-site|tasks]], but he therefore takes up Commander Points. It should be noted that Phlegra has a national Communion Master item, so it can assemble (taxing) Communions of [[Nature]] and [[Death]] alongside the Trophimoi's four Elements. |

| **Unrest:** All provinces under the dominion of Phlegra will have their unrest increased every turn. Higher dominion strength in the province yields a greater increase in unrest. In a disciple game this will only have an effect if Phlegra is the Pretender God and then it will affect the disciples as well. Being a disciple of Phlegra will be difficult. | __**Unrest:**__ //"All provinces under the dominion of Phlegra will have their unrest increased every turn.

| | In Dominions 5, the Unrest added is roughly equal to the Unrest that friendly Dominion candles **subtract**, give-or-take one point if the local Dominion is an odd number. The only things that modify Unrest **after** this thing are the "[[Reduces Unrest]]" and "[[Causes Unrest]]" traits. Unrest can't be below zero at any point during the turn calculations, resulting in an Unrest "floor" for friendly provinces. Here are the effects of those "floors": |

| **Magical Oppression:** Like [[pythium-ma|Pythium]], Phlegra has innate [[Communion]] Slaves. These fellows typically have a magic path, unlike the Pythian equivalents, but this has a decent chance to mismatch with what the Masters possess. Phlegra also has innate Communion Masters, who automatically command these Slaves without the need for casting **??Communion Master??** (a spell they cannot cast anyway), and the nation also has a national [[items|item]] for providing the trait to other mages. | |
