======  EA Hinnom, Sons of the Fallen  ====== 

===== Lore =====

Hinnom is a dry wasteland inhabited by giants. At the dawn of time, one the sacred Mount Hermon, six Angels in full celestial splendor descended to aid and instruct the land's giants. The Avvim were a people strong and beautiful of mind and body. They were adept students and their culture flourished under the tutelage of the Grigori, the angelic Watchers. But before long the Angels became enamored with the Avvim and taught them things that should not be taught. Tempted by the beauty of the Avvim, they took their daughters as wives and sinned before the Celestial Powers. Their offspring were Nephilim, giants of godlike power, abominable to the world. The Angels were imprisoned in the infernal Realms for their sins, but the Nephilim were partly of this world and could not be banished by the Celestial Powers. The Nephilim made themsalves kings over the Avvim, and they fathered sons who became known as the Rephaim. The Nephilim and their sons had unnatural appetites and consumed food, livestock, beasts, and finally their own offspring. With time, the Nephilim left Hinnom searching for a purpose and left their sons to rule the Avvim. 

"Hinnom, Ashdod and Gath are heavily influenced by ancient Israelite, Canaanite and Philistine concepts. I have always been intrigued and fascinated by biblical mythology, and had long wanted to include the Nephilim and biblical Genesis myths into the game. However, I was worried that I would not do the sources justice, so  it took a while before I finally got down to finish the nations. The Bible, the Book of Enoch, the Dead Sea scrolls, and the Ras Shamra texts of Ugarit and interpretations of these texts are the nations' main sources.  Hinnom draws more heavily on the biblical and Enochian tradition, while the veneration of the deified dead kings of Ashdod draws inspiration from the Ras Shamra and Canaanite/Ugaritic concepts the dead. The Rephaim/r'p'm of the Ugaritic texts are ghosts or deified dead rather than giants, so Ashdod turned out a bit different than I first intended, with death magic replacing blood. The shift from blood to death gave the nation a different and interesting mood.  I have looked a bit at Sumerian and Babylonian history when designing Hinnom and Ashdod. Gath, on the other hand draws more heavily from Israelite and Philistine concepts. Early Israelite religion and history with a centralized cult at the temple and Israelite tribes, combined with David and Goliath's legends are obvious sources for the late iteration of the nation.  I wanted the nation to be an abomination, slowly becoming more civilized throughout the ages. Hinnom is perhaps more than any other nation in the game an evil nation. I'm not very fond of the concept of evil, but it would be difficult to claim that the cannibalistic giants of Hinnom are anything but." - Illwinter

===== General Overview =====

EA Hinnom has a variety of tough size 3 giant troops, a broad selection of magic paths, affliction healers, recruitable [[thugs-and-supercombatants|Super Combatants]], national blood summons, and national longdead giants. ??Horite Shaman??s, ??Ammi??s, and ??Acha??s are strong and versatile mages in their own right, but the show's real stars are the Rephaim! ??Kohen??im fuel your blood economy, ??Ba'al??im are powerful mages who can sabbath and boost their way up to cast a great variety of powerful spells, ??Rephaite Warrior??s are some of the best sacred giants in the game, featuring 2 attacks each, high prot, amazing stats, and even magic weapons, lastly the ??Melqart??s are Hinnom's recruitable [[thugs-and-supercombatants|Super Combatants]], which Hinnom can buff, fluff, and equip to be among the best [[thugs-and-supercombatants|Super Combatants]] in the entire game.  

While Hinnom has many paths available to it (7 paths in total, 6 of which are at level 2 or higher), crosspaths are a rarity; only the Rephaites and the ??Horite Shaman??s have any cross paths, and the Rephaites generally only mix Blood with Earth, Astral, or Fire. While depth in a given magic path is rarely an issue for Hinnom, their lack of cross paths can seriously cut down on the spells available to them and the items they can forge; notably, Hinnom misses out on Earth/Fire and Earth/Astral crosspaths for the ??Shield of Gleaming Gold?? and the ??Cyrstal Coin?? as well as ??Gifts from Heaven?? and ??Magma Eruption??. Hinnom's Rephaites also suffer from their great hunger, disturbing and even eating the population, ??Melqart??s doing so at the prodigious rate of 80 population and 8 unrest per turn each! With even their basic blood hunter, the ??Kohen?? Eating 20 population and causing 2 unrest each to turn, their blood economy will be particularly disruptive to their gold economy and will burn provinces to the ground in short order. Were it not for their Need Not Eat tag so that they can be safely sent to a barren wasteland when not needed elsewhere, Rephaites would soon ruin Hinnom's capital. 

While Hinnom's ??Rephaite Warrior??s are generally inferior to their successors, the ??Ahiman Anakite??s, they are still strong sacreds for much the same reasons and can easily be made into nearly indestructible demi-gods. Hinnom also has the blood economy to make extensive use of its national ??Se'ir??im summon to supplement their capital only giants. Unlike [[Ashdod-MA|Ashdod]], Hinnom does not need to expand with its sacreds and can easily produce expansion parties each turn composed of ??Avvite Charioteer??s, though they will rapidly become obsolete against players. 

EA Hinnom is a powerful nation in all stages of the game and can be played with a focus on scales or bless, and under either strategy will experience a strong early, middle, and late game. 

===== National Features =====

Hinnom has a temperature preference for +2 heat and is able to sacrifice blood slaves to spread their dominion. Hinnom also has national longdead Rephaites. These are well-liked because they are larger and more dangerous than generic longdead. These national longdead can be most easily accessed through the Enchantment 1 ritual spell ??Reanimation?? which can be easily cast by any ??Horite Shaman??.

===== National Units =====
As a Giant nation, your units have greater Strength and HP, but the army has fewer units in a square.
They have above-average moral and MR.
Horites are naked Giants with bad MR, but they alternatively Resist Heat and Cold damage. 

Your Size 5 units "got the nasty habit of eating people alive." They will depopulate provinces quickly if left stationary, so either keep them moving or park them to a province you don't care about.

==== Commanders ====
Your commanders are giants and half-giants; they're more expensive than most guys, but they're also much more resilient. Tramplers such as Air Elementals and battlefield wipes such as ??Earthquake?? will be less likely to obliterate them, allowing the mages to get their spells out and allowing the troops to avoid early routing.

==== National Spells & Summons ====

Hinnom has 5 national spells, ??Summon Se'irim??, ??Summon Shedim??, ??Release Lord of Civilization??, ??Summon Mazzikim??, and ??Summon Lilot??.

??Reanimation?? is effectively a national spell, as many of the troops it will generate are Rephaite longdead. These longdead are superior in both damage output and durability and can support Hinnom's conventional forces. 50% of them are {{:nations:ea:hinnom:Longdead_Rephaite_2041.png?nolink}} ??Longdead Rephaite#2041??, {{:nations:ea:hinnom:Longdead_Rephaite_2042.png?nolink}} ??Longdead Rephaite#2042??, or {{:nations:ea:hinnom:Longdead_Rephaite_2043.png?nolink}} ??Longdead Rephaite#2043??,

  ***??Summon Mazzikim??** {{path>N1}} Conj 3 for {{gems>3N}} ( {{:nations:ea:hinnom:mazzik.png?nolink}} ??Mazzik??x8). trades nature gems for ??Imp??s and can be a useful way to harass opposing mages or to force them to take troops away from the front lines to act as guards. \\
  
  ***??Summon Lilot??** {{path>N4}} Conj 5 for {{gems>15N}} ( {{:nations:ea:hinnom:Lilot.png?nolink}} ??Lilot??). Discount ??Succubus?? that use Nature gems. They use dream [[seduction]] instead of normal seduction so they need to pass an additional MR check vs 16 to seduce, the Morale check is unusually strong in exchange. At only 15 gems, they are not a bad summon to harass enemies trying to besiege your forts.\\
  
  ***??Summon Se'irim??** {{path>B2}} Blood 3 for {{gems>23B}} ( {{:nations:ea:hinnom:Seir.png?nolink}} ??Se'ir??x2). is a national staple which produces outrageously good sacred demons called ??Se'ir??im and should be cast frequently throughout the game; any ??Kohen?? with a ??blood thorn?? can cast it. \\
  
  ***??Summon Shedim??** {{path>B3A1}} Blood 4 for {{gems>28B}} ( {{:nations:ea:hinnom:shed.png?nolink}} ??Shed??x3). Also produces excellent demons, ??Shed??im, although they are not sacred their storm power and ability to do high, armor negating, shock damage more than makes up for that, their only downside is the difficulty Hinnom has in summoning them, often needing to empower and air random ??Ammi?? and give them boosters.\\

  ***[[Release Lord of Civilization]]** {{path>B8}} Blood 8 for {{gems>177B}}.  ??Release Lord of Civilization?? Summons one of the 6 outrageously powerful titular Lords of Civilization, or Grigori, the Fallen Fathers mentioned in Hinnom's epithet. The Grigori are so powerful that they can not be wished for, a property that even the Doom Horrors lack. ??Release Lord of Civilization?? is also the second most expensive spell in the game after ??Merkavah?? which summons not just one ??Chayot?? but also 4 ??Ophan??s along with it. Little more needs to be said about the Grigori than that they are well worth their price and earnestly deserving of the no-wish tag. If Hinnom is in a position to Release the Lords of Civilization, then the game is likely already won, and Hinnom just needs to claim the last thrones.\\
==== Magic Access ====

Hinnom can access the following paths on their recruitable mages, without counting heroes, summons, or 10% randoms;

  * {{:misc:magic:fire.png?nolink}}**Fire** 3
  * {{:misc:magic:air.png?nolink}}**Air** 2
  * {{:misc:magic:earth.png?nolink}}**Earth** 3 -> **5** with Construction 6 Boosters!
  * {{:misc:magic:astral.png?nolink}}**Astral** 3 -> **4** with Construction 6 Boosters!
  * {{:misc:magic:death.png?nolink}}**Death** 1
  * {{:misc:magic:nature.png?nolink}}**Nature** 2 -> **3** with Construction 4 Boosters!
  * {{:misc:magic:blood.png?nolink}}**Blood** 3 -> **4** with Construction 6 Boosters!

To get {{path>E5}}, give an {{path>E3}} ??Ba'al?? ??Earth Boots?? and a ??Blood Stone?? (crafted with an {{path>E2B3}} ??Melqart??). If you're willing to get to Construction 8, you can then give that same {{path>E2B3}} Melqart a ??Blood Thorn?? and have him craft a ??Pebble Skin Suit??, bringing your Earth access up to {{path>E6}}. You should then cast ??Earth Blood Deep Well??, simply to flex on [[agartha-ea|Agartha]] with your superior Earth access (unless they've already summoned an Earth King or gotten a one-in-forty {{path>E5}} Oracle).
====Combat Magic====
FIXME What is the best spell you can use in combat. What spells the best support your national lineup, Is their weakness that you need to fix? Any tricks you should be aware you have?

====Ritual Magic====
FIXME What is the best ritual you could cast. Are their any globals you want up, any units you should be summoning?  Are there any Generic rituals few nations can cast? 

====Magic Items====
FIXME Do you have any National items(Construction Level, Price, and required Paths). Any unique generic items few other nations can forge? What item would be useful on your unit lineup (non-standard recommend thug gear)?

===National Items===
FIXME nation exclusive items

===National Discount Items===
{{:items:wall_shaker.png?nolink}} \\ The **Wall Shaker** (Const 4, {{path>A3}}, {{gems>15A}}) topples Walls faster and scares off guys who would outnumber you, in case Horim aren't cutting it. Unfortunately, you don't have {{path>A3}}, unless you go the [[Empowerment]] route ({{gems>45A}}) or the [[Pretender]] route.
=====Strategy=====
====Power Curve====
//This is probably the most difficult section to get consensus for. Describe how strong the nation is during expansion, the early, mid and late game, and what makes it strong/weak at each of those points. This should give readers an idea of where the weaknesses of a nation lie (if they have not been shown already) and when to take advantage of a nation's strengths.//

====Expansion Strategies====
//List some example expansion strategies here. If a strong bless or pretender is required then leave the specifics for the pretender section.//

====Example Pretender Builds====
//List some example pretender builds. Try to use the following format to keep authorship and pretender design rationale clear.//
