Mountain and plains //only//; they won't be found in any other hybrid terrain. |
| |
| In cases where provinces have multiple terrain types, you use the widest selection of types possible. Underwater provinces are considered plains if you have ??Thetis' Blessing?? up - Azenach archers, Cannibal Warriors, and Vintofolei can be found underwater. Swamps, wastes, caves, and farms all only spawn Azenach and Cannibal warriors with the mobilize heathens command. | Only one type of heathen will be mobilized per use of this ability, chosen randomly. All valid tribes have the same chance of appearing, but the Fommepori, Agrimandri, and Vintefolei are more elite, and on average only half as many of their warriors will answer the call compared to the more numerous Azenach and Cannibals. |
| |
| Like other gather slave commands (and this is the targorder it uses), you can no longer //Mobilize Heathens// at 100 [[unrest]]. If you gather slaves in a fort, there is a chance for it to fail based on the admin rating of the fort. | Swamps, wastes, caves, and farms all only spawn Azenach and Cannibal warriors. If you have ??Thetis' Blessing?? up, you can gather heathens underwater as well - Seas and Deep Seas are considered plains, and Kelp Forests act the same as Forests, while Gorges count as Highlands. |
| |
| (FIXME unsure about kelp field / gorges and the quite rare highlands province type)</WRAP> | This ability isn't without downsides: every time you use it, 8 people will be removed from the province. Every heathen you conscript will remove an additional 2 people, as well as immediately increase the [[unrest]] of the province by 1.2 points (and 0.2 for every turn they stick around). Like other gather slave commands, you can no longer //Mobilize Heathens// at 100 unrest. If you gather heathens in a [[fort|fortified]] province, your haul will be reduced by the fort's admin percentage. </WRAP> |

| Ind's magic diversity makes a lot of magic tactics possible, but several options stand out for early combat power. At a cool Blood 1 and Enchantment 3, ??Summon Imps?? and ??Strength of Giants?? combined with Ind's efficient sacred infantry go a long way towards discouraging an early rush. | Ind's magic diversity makes a lot of magic tactics possible, but several options stand out for early combat power.

| At Conjuration 5, ??Howl?? forces enemies to guard their backlines and distracts enemies from attacking actual units. If your bless includes Spirit Sight, ??Darkness?? at Alteration 6 hits enemies with an enormous -6/-6 debuff to attack and defence which your sacreds completely ignore; Cynocephalians will partially ignore it due to their 50% darkvision. High Alteration also provides access to many components of the healthy buff sandwich described in [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2023973143 | Not-Lola's Basic Magic Use Guide]]. | At Conjuration 5, ??Howl?? forces enemies to guard their backlines and distracts enemies from attacking actual units.
