It's size 1, mindless, patrols well and has very good stats for 1 gold (1!) . However it's a magic being (hard to lead, dies rapidly in combat and works poorly with the standard Xibalba hellbless as you lack RP. It's unique enough to enable some entertaining strategies. | |

Generally a player either wants to spend the extra and get the national recruit scorpions, or get 5 small ones for the price. | |
| | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_warrior.png?nolink}} | **??Xibalban Warrior??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 8 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 6 \\ {{:misc:gui:forest.png?15&nolink}}Forest Recruit \\ {{:misc:gui:cave.png?15&nolink}}Cave Recruit | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_warrior.png?20&nolink}} | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_warrior.png?nolink}} | **??Xibalban Warrior??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 8 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 6 \\ {{:misc:gui:forest.png?15&nolink}}Forest Recruit \\ {{:misc:gui:cave.png?15&nolink}}Cave Recruit | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_warrior.png?20&nolink}} | This is the weaker of the two Xibalban recruit anywhere mapmove 20 units. In short, the lance does less damage than the sword, even on the first hit. It's niche is it's longer than the sword and won't trigger as many repel checks and allows for repels. Basically, it's a weaker weapon that has a niche and will attrition marginally less. | |
| | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_warrior_2.png?nolink}} | **??Xibalban Warrior??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 8 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 6 \\ {{:misc:gui:forest.png?15&nolink}}Forest Recruit \\ {{:misc:gui:cave.png?15&nolink}}Cave Recruit | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_warrior.png?20&nolink}} | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_warrior_2.png?nolink}} | **??Xibalban Warrior??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 8 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 6 \\ {{:misc:gui:forest.png?15&nolink}}Forest Recruit \\ {{:misc:gui:cave.png?15&nolink}}Cave Recruit | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_warrior.png?20&nolink}} | This is the bread and butter recruit anywhere unit. It's cheap, hits hard with the sword and is unarmored, so will die to a stiff breeze. The tooltip is wrong - this unit has an obsidian sword - the same as the armored Xibalban guard but at 1 less attack | |
| | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_dart_thrower.png?nolink}} | **??Xibalban Dart Thrower??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 8 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 6 | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_warrior.png?20&nolink}} | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_dart_thrower.png?nolink}} | **??Xibalban Dart Thrower??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 8 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 6 | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_warrior.png?20&nolink}} | Neither the darts or mace do much damage. There may be a niche for these but overall these are very weak units and overshadowed by the rest of the roster. | |
| | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_guard.png?nolink}} | **??Xibalban Guard??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 10 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 5 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 12 | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_warrior.png?20&nolink}} \\ {{:abilities:bodyguard.png?15&nolink}} [[Bodyguard]] (2) | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_guard.png?nolink}} | **??Xibalban Guard??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 10 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 5 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 12 | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_warrior.png?20&nolink}} \\ {{:abilities:bodyguard.png?15&nolink}} [[Bodyguard]] (2) | These are like the recruit anywhere variant except with armor, 16 mapmove and +1 attack. They're quite a lot stronger than the unarmored variant. | |
| | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_scorpion.png?nolink}} | **??Xibalban Scorpion??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 15 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 15\\ Limited Recruitment (15/turn) | {{:abilities:resist_poison.png?15&nolink}} [[Poison Resistance]] (15) \\ {{:abilities:darkvision.png?15&nolink}} [[Darkvision]] (100) \\ [[Eyes]] (8) \\ {{:abilities:undisciplined.png?15&nolink}} [[Undisciplined]] \\ {{:abilities:animal.png?15&nolink}} [[Animal]] \\ {{:abilities:wasteland_survival.png?15&nolink}} [[Wasteland Survival]] | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_scorpion.png?nolink}} | **??Xibalban Scorpion??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 15 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 15\\ Limited Recruitment (15/turn) | {{:abilities:resist_poison.png?15&nolink}} [[Poison Resistance]] (15) \\ {{:abilities:darkvision.png?15&nolink}} [[Darkvision]] (100) \\ [[Eyes]] (8) \\ {{:abilities:undisciplined.png?15&nolink}} [[Undisciplined]] \\ {{:abilities:animal.png?15&nolink}} [[Animal]] \\ {{:abilities:wasteland_survival.png?15&nolink}} [[Wasteland Survival]] | These get 3 attacks, have decent weapons and armor, and have death poison. They're the strongest 'conventional' units on the Xibalban roster by a considerable margin and are worth recruiting if you have the RP and gold. | |
| | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:sun_guide.png?nolink}} | **??Sun Guide??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 18 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 20 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 24 | {{:abilities:sacred.png?15&nolink}} [[Sacred]] \\ {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_warrior.png?20&nolink}} \\ {{:abilities:resist_poison.png?15&nolink}} [[Poison Resistance]] (15) \\ {{:abilities:resist_fire.png?15&nolink}} [[Fire Resistance]] (5) \\ {{:abilities:bodyguard.png?15&nolink}} [[Bodyguard]] (3) \\ [[Theft of the Sun Awe]] (1) | Commentary here. | | | {{:nations:ea:xibalba:sun_guide.png?nolink}} | **??Sun Guide??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 18 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 20 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 24 | {{:abilities:sacred.png?15&nolink}} [[Sacred]] \\ {{:nations:ea:xibalba:xibalban_warrior.png?20&nolink}} \\ {{:abilities:resist_poison.png?15&nolink}} [[Poison Resistance]] (15) \\ {{:abilities:resist_fire.png?15&nolink}} [[Fire Resistance]] (5) \\ {{:abilities:bodyguard.png?15&nolink}} [[Bodyguard]] (3) \\ [[Theft of the Sun Awe]] (1) | This is your cap sacred and it's a good one. It has decent stats and armor, flies, has built in magic weapons and hits like a truck. It's still going to die fairly quickly to troops in combat, but it carries a bless well and overall is a role player. If a player goes full hellscales, they can recruit about four of these in their capital per turn, so should be aiming for 5 dominion. | |

| |
| | === Early Game Magic === |
| | Xibalba has a few options in early game magic, especially with lucid's research mod focusing them. The paths can take the nation in very different directions so a summary belongs here. |
| | |
| | 1) (Conj 3) Summon Scorpion. This is your anti-rush spell. Scorpions carry your bless, deal AN damage, have tolerable stats, lots of attacks, and are a fantastic use of earth gems. They're mage turn inefficient, but a fantastic emergency button. |
| | |
| | //Although rarely relevant due to path access, Conjuration 1 and 2 lets you have some nature summons. These ground your troops similar to longdead horsemen at enchantment 2 and can boost your movement in caves// |
| | |
| | 2) Blood 4 (Bind Jaguar Fiends). This is your earlygame 'capstone' research. There are a few useful spells en-route (blood burst, summon imps, hell power, summon bats etc), but blood 4 sort of symbolizes the shift from recruitable sacreds and scorpions, into the blood economy and sacred bats. The whole shape of Xibalba's play shifts when you get this research. Now because blood is gold and mage expensive, it's not always good to rush this, but it represents the transition into the next 'phase' of xibalbas play, where the armies will be somewhat defined by the blood sacreds. |
| | |
| | 3) Construction and Thamuturgy 3 - Alteration 2-3: These are your thug paths. They only really kick into high gear at research 3. Just note it takes quite a lot of research to buff up your thugs, with construction being the most important, then alteration, and only then thaumaturgy. |
| | |
| | // |
| | Also notably at thamuturgy 2 is the 'break soul' spell set - which can be important as a panic button against a supercombatant pretender. |
| | // |
| | |
| | 4) Enchantment 2 (Summon Longdead Horseman). This is a little conceptually tricky. Flying units get a movement speed penalty in caves. If you ground them - say with a horseman commander, it can actually increase their movement. Also it's a good use for death gems in the early game as it lets you save gold on commanders. |
