| Xibalba is a vast realm of dark caverns beneath the forests of Mictlan. According to legend, the sun and the moon passed through the labyrinthine caverns on their daily journey to the eastern horizon. On this journey they were guarded by the bat people, Zotz, that dwelled in the dark reaches of the Xibalban underworld. Being almost blind, they would not see and not covet the splendor of the sun.

The Zotz have contact with surface dwellers, primarily those of Mictlan, and have adopted some of their technology and practices. The Zotz have an affinity for blood hunting and black magic. Despite being guides of the sun, their skill in solar magic is limited. The Zotz are numerous and live in great swarming cave colonies. Numbers—rather than strength—allow them to win battles." -Illwinter// | Xibalba is a vast realm of dark caverns beneath the forests of Mictlan.

| ===== General Overview ===== | ===== General Overview ===== |
| If you are considering picking this nation to play, what should you know? | Xibalba is a [[scales#temperature|Hot]] "horde" nation, capable of creating large piles of sub-par soldiers to dump on enemies. The Zotz are basically mediocre Size-2 beings made Size-3 by their wings (and [[caelum-ea|Caelum]] has a similar problem). Their [[Flying|wings]] let them pick their battles and allow them to attack the rear //very// early in combat. Their damage is decent-enough for the [[nations-ea|Early Ages]] to punch through with the first strike, possibly causing [[afflictions|debilitation]] or a [[rout]]. In Dominions 4, this was enough; however, Dominions 5 heavily nerfed Xibalba by randomizing the attack order in combat, giving defenders the chance to attack Fliers as they land, and Dominions 6 hasn't made their prospects any better. |
| | |
| | Beyond the first strike, Xibalba's troops aren't all that great. They don't have shields, so [[precision#missile-combat|point-blank-range missile combat]] is //very// "hit-or-miss". They don't have much [[Morale]], and their small HP pools make it fairly easy for squads to [[rout|break]] in combat. Elite mages on the defending side can annihilate them with short-ranged evocations, though players typically don't script for this. The nation does have flying elites that are pretty decent in combat, however, particularly the ??Xibalban Guard?? and the [[Sacred]] ??Sun Guide??. Xibalba also has Scorpions, ground troops that allow the nation to make their armies huge on paper; but aside from the Size-4 Scorpions, which are limited to 15-per-fort-per-turn, these are little better than ??Swarm?? chaff. |
| | |
| | Magically, Xibalba is one of the [[Blood]] powers of the Age, albeit in an Age where most small provinces won't be ideal for [[Blood Hunting]]. Flying Mages can lug [[gems]] and Blood Slaves across the realm, and their [[Communion|Sabbaths]] can bring on [[Fire]], [[Air]], [[Earth]], [[Death]], and [[Nature]]. The nation is blessed with [[mictlan-ea|Mictlan]]'s demon troops, specifically the ??Beast Bat??s and the ferocious ??Ozelotl??s, and these summoning rituals are far more turn-efficient than the generic [[Blood Magic]] of their levels. Last-but-not-least, the Zotz are good at both Blood-Hunting //and// [[Patrol|Patrolling]] out the resulting [[Unrest]]. |

They are the best death and blood recruitable mages of the age. It's biggest weakness is it's very expensive both in gold cost and mage turns earlygame, and Xibalba's other cap only mage is also very good. A trick if Xibalba goes hellscales is to not make a prophet until this guy is recruited, as you pay no upkeep on the prophet, and he's a very expensive unit. It is also the only unit on the national roster with nature access and about 1/4 of the time he grants N2 Access. It's also a fantastic blood hunter, however the unit is so valuable, that's often a waste, and it's better off fighting or site searching. | |

| | ====Boosting Access==== |
| | === Fire === |
| | ??Ah K'in Kan Ek'?? with {{path>F2}} is the best option for climbing {{:misc:magic:fire.png?15&nolink}}Fire, especially since its {{path>D1}} allows it to forge a ??Skull of Fire??. |
| | |
| | {{path>N4}} can ??Summon Balam?? for a 1 in 4 {{path>F2B2}}. With {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood boosters, the Balam can ??Bind Arch Devil??, which has {{path>F4}}. |
| | |
| | {{path>B8}} can ??Bind Demon Lord?? for a 2 in 6 chance of at least {{path>F4}}. |
| | |
| | === Air === |
| | Both ??Ah Itz?? and ??Camazotz?? have {{path>A1}} (1 in 4 chance for either). The ??Camazotz?? has an additional {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}}Death path and slightly better stats. Empowerment is the only way to climb to the key {{path>A4}}. |
| | |
| | {{path>N4}} can ??Summon Balam?? for a 1 in 4 {{path>A2}}. |
| | |
| | {{path>B8}} can ??Bind Demon Lord?? for a 1 in 6 chance of {{path>A5}}. |
| | |
| | === Water === |
| | **No native access.** {{path>N4}} can ??Summon Balam?? for a 1 in 4 {{path>W2}}. |
| | |
| | {{path>A4}}, which is very difficult to get to, can ??Summon Chaac??, which has at least {{path>W2}}. |
| | |
| | === Earth === |
| | {{path>E2}} ??Ah K'in Kan Ek'?? (1 in 3) has the highest {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth. {{path>E1B1}} ??Ah Itz?? (1 in 4) or {{path>E1B1}} ??Camazotz?? (1 in 4) have {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth and {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood, which is useful for climbing {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth. Using the ??Ah K'in Kan Ek'?? in combination with one of the {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}{{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}} Mages, and an ??Onaqui??, empowerment is not necessary. The ??Ah K'in Kan Ek'?? creates the {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth boosters, the {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}{{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}} Mage creates the {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth boosters requiring {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth and {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood, and the ??Onaqui?? creates {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood boosters for the {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}{{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}} Mage. |
| | |
| | {{path>B8}} can ??Bind Demon Lord?? for a 1 in 6 chance of {{path>E4}}. |
| | |
| | === Astral === |
| | **No native access.** {{path>D3}} can ??Summon Spectre?? for a 7 in 16 chance of {{path>S1}}. |
| | |
| | {{path>F2B4}} can ??Bind Arch Devil?? for a 1 in 4 chance of {{path>S3}}. |
| | |
| | {{path>E3D1}} can cast ??Hidden in Sand?? and ??Hidden Underneath?? which give at least {{path>S1}}. |
| | |
| | {{path>D3}} can ??Summon Spectre?? for a 7 in 16 chance of at least {{path>S1}}. |
| | |
| | {{path>B8}} can ??Bind Demon Lord?? for a 1 in 6 chance of {{path>S4}}. |
| | |
| | === Death === |
| | {{path>D4}} ??Onaqui?? (1 in 4) is high enough and has the right paths to make many {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}}Death boosters without any empowerment. |
| | |
| | EA Xibalba can make all the extra arms items, which are useful for {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}}Death boosters. |
| | |
| | === Nature === |
| | {{path>N2}} ??Onaqui?? (1 in 4) can make an ??Armor of Twisting Thorns??. A {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth random with an {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth booster and a {{:misc:magic:nature.png?15&nolink}}Nature booster might be able to make the unique ??The Tome of Gaia??. Without ??The Tome of Gaia??, a level of empowerment is necessary. |
| | |
| | {{path>B8}} can ??Bind Demon Lord?? for a 1 in 6 chance of at least {{path>N4}}. |
| | |
| | EA Xibalba can make all the extra arms items, which are useful for {{:misc:magic:nature.png?15&nolink}}Nature boosters. |

| | === 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. |
