confused [National Features] |

| ===== General Overview ===== | ===== General Overview ===== |
| FIXME How the nation plays and what it is good at should go here, aka 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 map, making 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 magic, plus 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 |

| **Dark Vessels** {{abilities:dark_vessels.png?nolink}} | **Dark Vessels** {{abilities:dark_vessels.png?nolink}} |
| |
| The biggest benefit of the Dark Vessels is that they allow Phaeacia to move 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. |
