 {{:basalt_king.png?nolink&60 |}} Underwater nations start beneath the waves. They frequently have access to powerful Water and Astral magic. Underwater nations may be difficult to attack, but on the other hand, these nations can struggle to get a foothold on land, and cannot recruit national units in inland forts. Underwater nations lack conventional ranged weapons, and rarely use iron, though some have exotic alternatives to either or both of these. Underwater nations may have limited but highly valuable recruitment options in coastal fortresses. {{:basalt_king.png?nolink&60 |}} Underwater nations start beneath the waves.

As many of the more powerful blood spells come later in the game and they have to build up their blood economy, they often (but not necessarily) have a weaker early game, but a very powerful late game. They are more powerful in the Late Age, where the population is generally larger and they get more additional blood slaves with each hunter.+{{:nations:ea:xibalba:demon_of_the_skull_staff.png?nolink&40 |}} Blood nations depend to varying degree on collecting blood slaves and sacrificing them to call forth demons from Hell.
