-Mekone is a nation of Hoplite giants on a personal crusade against traditional godhood that uses its despised human population as slave chaff. The best of anything that Mekone can muster is expensive, and money can be hard to come by. In comparison to other giant nations like [[Niefelheim(EA)|Niefelheim]] and [[Hinnom(EA)|Hinnom]], they can struggle to obtain enough gold for their assets, owing to their unique fort unrest mechanic and expensive forts. Unlike other giant nations, their elite troops are also capped in recruitment. They have a fair spread of elemental magic at their disposal and skilled crafters, although they have few native options for diversifying their capabilities. +Mekone is a nation of Hoplite giants on a personal crusade against traditional godhood using its despised human population as slave chaff.

-Mekone does **NOT** have any available Dominion 1 [[Pretender]] chassis, by the way. All of your Pretender options are relatively expensive, limiting the scales and the Magic paths that you can take. While expansion isn't too much of a problem for Mekone, you should still pick your Pretender carefully.+Mekone does **NOT** have any available Dominion 1 [[Pretender]] chassis, by the way.
