 ===== General Overview =====
-FIXME
+Machaka has a bad reputation in this game, commonly considered one of the weaker MA factions. It has terrible-to-mediocre troops off-capital, its elites are expensive for what they bring to the table, and its cavalry is more akin to tanks or artillery than shock troops. It's a [[Death]] nation with Death as its weakest path (and no guaranteed Death [[gem]] income), an [[Earth]] nation whose guaranteed Earth mages are only found in the capital, and an Assassination nation whose assassins are (again) only found in the capital.
+However, Machaka isn't a total pushover. Though it lacks [[Communions]], its mages are quite capable in their own right. All of its mages have Fire & Death, a strong crosspath for [[Evocation|Evocations]] that isn't shut down by the elemental resistances, and most have Nature for improving their Precision. Its capital mages are hard to kill, boasting spider forms with 25-50 extra HP in the reserve. The mounts of its cavalry will stick around in battle. Lastly, Machaka has just enough Earth to make its Hoplites work, unlike most other nations relying on tight frontlines guarding magic "cannons".
