Img | Unit Name | Abilities | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
Nabaean Scout 20 7 1 + foreign Rec | Stealthy (50) Pillager (1) Mountain Survival Wasteland Survival | Cheaper recruit anywhere scout. | |
Sheikh 65 8 1 + foreign Rec | Stealthy(40) Pillager (5) inspirational (1) Tax collector Wasteland Survival | Recruit anywhere Commanders, very useful as they can cover a lot of ground, can pillage, and start with 1-3 Falcons which harass like Imps. They are also tax collectors in case raiders try to cut off your land from your forts, or to make raiding more profitable. |
|
Karib 80 2 2 + foreign Rec | 11 7 sacred Stealthy (40) Wasteland Survival | Your cheapest early game researchers, and low-path Earth gear forger. Even at Magic 3, the Hermit Sahir give better RP/gold, but Karibs give better RP/turn. Being stealthy let them safely raid with 3 by first casting Summon Earthpower and then casting Summon Earth Elemental |
|
'Adite General 85 26 1 | Wasteland Survival | An 80 Ld Commander. Note that Sheikhs give equal morale and better movement on a cheaper rec anywhere, but Adites can do formations and are far safer from stray threats in battle. | |
Mukarrib 120 2 2 | 12 7 sacred Fortune Teller 5% Wasteland Survival | One of your other spammable mages. As 1 mages the Mukarrib can pointbuff with Luck and Body Ethereal. As Sacred Giants with Astral magic, they can form durable communions to support your big mages. Because of their 12 three Mukarrib can join in a communion to cast Divine Blessing and Smite if no better options are available. |
|
Hermit Sahir 125 2 4 foreign Rec Only | 1111100% 13 Stealthy (40) Wasteland Survival | A strong mage that can only be recruited from any unforted lab in 4 turns, with wasteland labs being preferable since they're cheaper. They are excellent battle mages, and come with a Hinn Companion. Stealth and the Hinn make them capable of solo-raiding using Summon Fire Elemental, Summon Air Elemental or Summon Earth Elemental |
|
Jann Emir 280 26 2 | 1111100% 11 sacred Glamour Stealthy (65) Iron Vulnerability 1 fire Resistance (5) | A fairly strong Thug. Not only he is a Elven, giant hybrid, but he is also a sacred mage with thug paths. Each random can give good things, Phoenix Pyre, Ironskin, and Mistform. The 121 and 1111 versions thug best until Pyre. Enc 6 is an issue without AOE weapons. Can lead stealthy raids with other Jann. |
|
Sahir 315 2 4 | 2211100% 17 sacred Glamour Stealthy (65) Fortune Teller 5% Iron Vulnerability 1 fire Resistance (5) | Your strongest any-fort mage. 2 provide Legions of Steel, Strength of Giants, and Maws of the Earth. 3 can evo (especially Smokeless Flame) and provide Heat from Hell. All can do elemental spam and Scorching Wind. |
|
Malikah 480 1 4 Capital Only | 33111100% 10% 21 sacred Glamour Stealthy (65) Magic Being Ethereal flying female Spirit Sight Fortune Teller 5% Magic Power 1 Iron Vulnerability 2 Salt Vulnerability 1 fire Resistance (20) Shock Resistance (10) Obfuscate (25) | Any nation is better when they have a recruitable flying super mage. Malikah is such a mage and should be auto-recruited in your capital as soon as possible. A strong and hard to hit mage with excellent paths. Malikahs can thug in the early game and can Cloud Trapeze to catch mages and smaller armies that are out of position. She is your only recruitable nature mage. The 4 and 4 randoms give you access to high-level magic gear and spells. Beware of fielding 1 Malikah without other Astral mages, since they are extremely inviting for Magic Duel. |
Sprite | Unit Name | Special Attributes | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
Nabaean Desert Warrior 7 7 5 + foreign Rec | Stealthy (40) Pillager (1) Skirmisher Undisciplined Wasteland Survival | Recruit anywhere chaff with a bow and a high damage sword. Decent as cheap lance catchers and lets your army replenish their meat shields at any frendly province. Decently efficient Flaming Arrows users. |
|
Nabaean Camel Rider 22 8 24 + foreign Rec | Stealthy (40) Pillager (1) Skirmisher Wasteland Survival | Is a decent armorless horse archer that deals decent damage with their bow and sword. What really justifies their price is the fact they all spawn a Falcon which will muddy up the formations and distract the enemy for a few turns. Very good as part of a expansion army. |
|
Nabaean Soldier 10 17 9 | Wasteland Survival | Decently armoured human chaff with a high damage sword. | |
Nabaean Light Infantry 10 13 9 | Wasteland Survival | A more spammable armored human spear chaff with a javelin. Decent with all the range attack buffs you can throw down. |
|
'Adite Light Infantry 25 20 15 | Wasteland Survival | A decent and flexible expander unit, high HP and Str, with ok Prot and a hard hiting javelin. Easily able to take out indies before taking attrition, especially when buffed. |
|
'Adite Archer 25 37 15 | Wasteland Survival | This is one of the closest things Dominions has to a cannon. A great bow that deals a large amount of damage. As a Fire, Earth, Air, and a Nature communion nation, it's not hard to see how a group of fully buffed archers could decimate most elite units. Super combatants beware… |

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.
Na'Ba has several options for expansion. As such Nabaean expansion is about bringing the right tool to do the job.
'Adite Light Infantry are durable half-giants that can take a punch and deal one back with their high-damage javelins. 'Adite Heavy Infantry trade the javelin for slightly more Protection and better stats. Their 13 attack 23 damage scimitars carve through the toughest of armor. Both option are expensive in both gold and resources but work very well once critical mass has been met.
Jann Guard are comparable to 'Adite Heavy Infantry but have glamour for extra protection and can take a bless. Depending on your pretender design they can be a valuable addition to your expansion.
Nabaean Camel Riders and Nabaean Desert Warriors can be recruited everywhere and can help take out indies vulnerable to archer fire, most notably Barbarians. The falcons summoned by the camel riders can take lance charges vs Heavy Cavalry, which can keep down attrition on other troops.
With an awake pretender thugged out Malikah can compliment your expansion once Const 2, Alt 3 is researched.
List some example pretender builds. Try to use the following format to keep authorship and pretender design rationale clear.
