| Don't try to explain everything in exhaustive detail; focus on what makes a nation special and highlight those units and spells a prospective player should be paying attention to/building around as they familiarize themselves with a nation. | Don't try to explain everything in exhaustive detail; focus on what makes a nation special and highlight those units and spells a prospective player should be paying attention to/building around as they familiarize themselves with a nation. |

| | **Exporting Strategic Information:**\\ Many pages already have a lot of strategic information included that goes beyond the scope of this national page template. In many cases this can simply be cut, especially where the information is redundant with existing general guides such as [[melfice-belmont-boosting-and-access | MelficeBelmont's Boosting Guide]] and [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2023973143 | Not-Lola's Basic Magic Use Guide]]. Other pages have more extensive guide-style strategic advice, in which case you should contact the guide writer (check the editing history) and see if you can port the information to a separate page. |

| Berytos is the melting pot of the [[nations-ea | Early Ages]]. It is the surviving remnants of the empire built by the ??Telkhine??s, now a [[therodos-ea | kingdom of ghosts under the sea]]. Ruled over by an avaricious Melqart king and his wily Telkhine consort, the once-crippled colony of Berytos has birthed its own phoenix empire. [[hinnom-ea | Hinnom]]-style blood worship is in fashion, the sacrifices dedicated to the King of the City, but the cult itself is presided over by a priesthood of [[machaka-ea | Machakan]] exiles who look to turn the cult to their own ends. It is the Dominions equivalent of Carthage and the Phoenician city-states with a spicy dash of Caananite Ba'al worship, tied into the history of Therodos and its former Telkine overlords as well as the downfall of the Machakan ??Lion Queen??s. | Berytos is the melting pot of the [[nations-ea | Early Ages]].

| Berytos's unit lineup is mediocre, even for the early age. The most durable of Berytos's units are the cap-only ??Colossi Warrior?? and fort-recruit ??Berytian Heavy Spearman??; both have only 14 prot which is easily pierced by even indie weapons. Most do not deal enough damage to make up for the low survivability either, which can make it difficult to expand and survive an early war against nations with more powerful national troops. | Berytos's unit lineup is mediocre, even for the early age.

| However, Berytos's mages add the killing power to turn its threat level from almost nonexistent to terrifying with elemental spam, evocations and a very comprehensive suite of army buffs. The ??Storm Caller?? can only be recruited in coastal forts but is a powerful combat mage; the ??Bride-in-Waiting?? is expensive and cap-only, but makes up for it with her spread of useful paths and innate mobility. | However, Berytos's mages add the killing power to turn its threat level from almost nonexistent to terrifying with elemental spam, evocations and a comprehensive suite of army buffs.

| {{:pretenders:annunaki_of_love_and_war.png |}}**Wigglefig's Annunaki of Love and War** \\ This is a fun option if you want to try an expansion titan, and can really smooth out conquering more difficult provinces like large numbers of Heavy Cavalry. After expansion, she helps deter early aggression and opens up high {{misc:magic:air.png?14&nolink}}air, {{misc:magic:earth.png?14&nolink}}earth and {{misc:magic:nature.png?14&nolink}}nature. The bless will also make your ??Melqart?? heavy thugs much more difficult to counter later in the game. The Misfortune does make it extremely unlikely that your heroes will show up, though. Alternatively you can drop her down to 2 in each magic path for 3 extra scales.\\ See [[mandarbmax-expansion-titans | The Virtues of Expansion Titans]] by Mandarbmax for more details on how to use expansion titans.</WRAP> | |
