 ===== Lore ===== ===== Lore =====
-Phaeacia is an island queendom of dark-skinned men of great stature, the Colossi. Their fabled Dark Ships traverse the seas without oars or captains. Once a colony of Berytos, the island flourished and became rich and influential, known for its traders, craftsmen and marvelous shipwrights. When Berytos was destroyed by the armies of Arcoscephale the island of Phaeacia was able to stave off the conquerors thanks to ample tributes and its remote location. The queendom has since grown in power and influence. Their traders and explorers have traveled to the far reaches of the world and brought one of the world’s greatest marvels back to Phaeacia, a sapling of the golden tree of the blessed gardens of the Hesperides. Now most inhabitants of Phaeacia live unnaturally long and blissful lives detached from the strife of the world beyond their island. Phaeacia is also the home of giants descendant of Mekone. When the Gigantes’ futile war upon gods came to a disastrous end,the Gigantes that did not join the armies of the God-slayer fled to Black Korkyra, an inhospitable island of the Phaeacian archipelago. The king of the Gigantes married the Colossi queen of Phaeacia and their daughters have ruled the island ever since. Most nobles of the island trace a legacy to the Berytian Colossi as well as to the Gigantes of Mekone. There are also a few of the pure blooded Gigantes remaining on Black Korkyra. Upholding the old bargain they arrive each spring to pledge the queen their allegiance. They are not cursed as their Phlegran kin and retain some of their former glory+//Phaeacia is an island queendom of dark-skinned men of great stature, the Colossi.

 ===== General Overview ===== ===== General Overview =====
-FIXME How the nation plays and what it is good at should go hereaka why would it be cool to play, whats good about it (in general terms) and where they falter +Phaeacia might be one of the most versatile nations in the game, offering a wide range of extremely effective tools at your disposal. Phaeacians consist of Phaeacian Humans and more notably the Colossi race, size 3 people with 20+ hp and decent general stats. A unique feature of Phaeacia is that its capital always spawns on an island as long as there is one on the mapmaking it mostly out of reach for continental nations but also constantly under the threat of amphibious neighbors.  
-possibily there could be a standard for nation classification (sacred heavy, elves, communion nation, blood nation, research, economical, forging, stealth, thug based etc) + 
-National Features+Phaeacia is characterized by: 
 +  * extremely high oversea mobility from [[sailing]] commanders and the unique **Dark Vessels** ability 
 +  * superior air magicplus all-around elemental and astral crosspaths access across the mage lineup 
 +  * crafting discounts and potential [[naaira-communion#turbo-communions|turbo communions]] with the Colossi Weavers 
 +  * super cost-effective cloud-trapezing thugs made from Colossi Storm Captains

-The biggest benefit of the Dark Vessels are that they allow Phaeacia to move it'mages around, even those that can't ordinarily sail. It also allows Phaeacia to circumvent the usual sailing size limit of units to their commander size, though you can't completely ignore it since you'll want to sail outside of your dominion at times as well.+The biggest benefit of the Dark Vessels is that they allow Phaeacia to move mages around, even those that can't ordinarily sail.

 + 
 +Note: As awesome as Dark Vessels is, there are two ultimate Fuck-Dark-Vessels [[global enchantment]]s, ??Perpetual Storm?? and ??Sea of Ice?? which prevent any form of [[Sailing]] ability across the globe including the Dark Vessels. Phaeacia is undoubtedly at its strongest with an island start (due to the huge starting bonus from Orichalcum Mine and amazing mobility threatening coastal provinces within reach), but having an island capital also makes Phaeacia extremely vulnerable to these two spells which completely cut off unit transfers to and from the capital and could thus cripple the military maneuverability of the entire nation. ??Perpetual Storm?? posts more of a threat between the two since underwater nations are far more eager to afford the gems for dispelling ??Sea of Ice?? while Phaeacia has to deal with Perpetual Storm alone. Playing against Phaeacia you should never forget ??Perpetual Storm?? as a strong strategical option and Phaeacia players should always be prepared to dispel potential casting of it in the late game

 =====Strategy===== =====Strategy=====
-FIXME do you have a game plan? Anything you should always be working toward? Any National weaknesses?+Phaeacia Island's start position makes it very difficult for other land nations to attack, while your own mobility allows for unexpected invasions. You raid to profit off coastal land, using highly mobile Air communions and thugs to take enemies by surprise.
  
-====Pretender==== +Having an Island start does having many hard counters. Your army losses its mobility outside of casting a teleport spell in a labbed procence if ??Perpetual Storm?? or ??Sea of Ice?? is up to turn off all sailing (including Blackships). Will leave prevent your cap units from also leaving.
-FIXME What kinds of scales does your nation likeDo they require any to functionAny blesses your sacreds would likeDo you desperately need an awake expanderExamples of Pretenders? +
-====Early Game==== +
-FIXME How to expand, potential pitfalls and how to get around them, obvious weakness strength, how much do you have to focus on war/infrastructure  +
-====Mid Game==== +
-FIXME what is the first big research rush, what is the first big powerspike, where do you shift recruitment to? what are the big magic diversity issues, are there particular globals you should gun for +
-====Late Game==== +
-FIXME How do you close out the game if you are in it, is the high-level research stuff you can do uniquely well, does your nation fall off, aka do you have to force things to conclude swiftly+
  
-=====Links=====+You also have to heavily negotiate with players if they play an amphibious nation. Phaeacia has great mobility going over water but no early game tools to fight someone under it. Having the power to constantly siege your capital with no repercussions, you have to keep them appeased if you want the chance to win.  
 +Keep open chanals with nations like [[Ys-MA]], [[R'lyeh-MA]], [[Agartha-MA]], and [[Sceleria-MA]]. 
 + 
 +Phaeacia is not at proper power until the midgame, so you will be gobbled by a rush nation if they can get too you and cannot negotiation some kind of treaty of protection. 
 + 
 +====Power Curve==== 
 +//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.// 
 + 
 +====Expansion Strategies==== 
 +//List some example expansion strategies here. If a strong bless or pretender is required then leave the specifics for the pretender section.// 
 + 
 +====Example Pretender Builds==== 
 +//List some example pretender builds. Try to use the following format to keep authorship and pretender design rationale clear.//
