fenrir [National Features] |
| R'lyeh is the odd man out of the [[nations-la|Late Ages]]. It's an [[Underwater]] nation. It has the only {{path>S4}} mages in the era. In fact, its magic access is //broader// than [[rlyeh-ma|before]]. And those are just the easy-to-understand differences! | R'lyeh is the odd man out of the [[nations-la|Late Ages]]. It's an [[Underwater]] nation. It has the only {{path>S4}} mages in the era. In fact, its magic access is //broader// than [[rlyeh-ma|before]]. And those are just the easy-to-understand differences! |
| |
| The madness of R'lyeh is in its [[Popkill]] [[Dominion]], which converts some of the [[Population]] each turn into raving lunatics who don't contribute to anything. A fair amount will become "free" troops; but no, they're //not// free, because most of them expect a monthly salary. The yearly upkeep is 0.8 Gold per goober, 1.6 Gold per random [[Holy|Priest]]/[[magic|mage]], or 4 Gold per goober on the ??Mad Deep One??s (who at least have some flexibility). Most of them are [[Mindless]] or [[Magic Being|Magic]], so you can't even leave them in provinces as padding alongside the [[Province Defense]]. You can get Commanders, Priests, and possibly a mage or two from this "freespawn" to at least shuffle these guys around, provided that their [[Insane|Insanity]] doesn't interrupt them. | The madness of R'lyeh is in its [[Popkill]] [[Dominion]], which converts some of the [[Population]] each turn into raving lunatics who don't contribute to anything.

| The Insanity of R'lyeh is tied to its Dominion as well. Each turn, Commanders within R'lyeh's Dominion go insane, as long as they aren't the [[Pretender God]]. This does not affect Magic Beings, so R'lyeh's infamous Starspawn aren't affected, but their best Commanders (the ??Traitor Prince??s who abandoned [[Atlantis-ma|Middle Atlantis]]) //are//. Supposedly those without any [[Underwater#Underwater-Trait|Underwater Traits]] (other than perhaps Water Breathing) are less impacted by the Dominion; regardless, few players would dream of risking Insanity on their favorite commanders, so R'lyeh's Dominion is as much of a deterrent as it is a headache. It helps that some of R'lyeh's Insane may become [[Prophet|Prohpets]], **even if R'lyeh already has one**, and that the Insane from other nations may subvert their local provinces (in R'lyeh's favor). | The Insanity of R'lyeh is tied to its Dominion as well.

| Ultimately, R'lyeh is a strong nation (only barely different from [[rlyeh-ma|Middle R'lyeh]]) with an anchor tied around its neck. If left completely alone, R'lyeh's Dominion will eventually crash its own economy, though //when// that will happen in Dominions 6 has yet to be tested; this will happen at a quicker rate than for its foes, as long as the crazed hordes can't successfully wash over the high-end late-age troops. Whether R'lyeh is a nuisance, or a serious dilemma, depends on how far the eclectic nation can spread and how many [[Thrones]] it can get early -- and on how many [[Temple|Temples]] it can build, of course. | Ultimately, R'lyeh is a strong nation (only barely different from [[rlyeh-ma|Middle R'lyeh]]) with an anchor tied around its neck.
