| In comparison to other nations, EA T'ien Ch'i Is the most human-centric of the Early age. Boasting well armored linemen instead of the primitive armour most other nations were. Of all the T'ien Ch'is over the ages, EA has many units that would love a heavy bless. Their mage line up, although expensive, is very versatile in what spell they can cast. Held back by having their best mages and combat units being cap only. | EA T'ien Ch'i is one of the more human-centric nations of the Early Ages, and boasts more heavily-armored infantry than many of its contemporaries. Their magic is diverse but shallow and very capital-focused; T'ien Ch'i's non-capital mages will only sometimes have more than one level in a single path, and its capital-onlies epitomize the phrase "jack of all trades, master of none". |

| The nation Has a preference for Boosters and mage items. Don't have much in terms of national recruitable thugs outside of ??Noble Commander??s. As a nation with so many cross paths on one mage, they have the most variety in terms of Items. Forging several ??Robe of the Magi?? and/or ??Ring of Wizardry?? would be a massive reward for your nation. | The nation has a preference for Boosters and mage items. As a squishy human nation, you don't have a ton of recruitable thugging potential; your most-obvious option, the ??Noble Commander??, is a [[Trample|Trampler]] who doesn't fare well against units their size. As a nation with so many crosspaths on your capital Mages, you have a ton of variety in terms of [[Items]], and you benefit massively from forging multi-path boosters such as the ??Staff of Elemental Mastery??, the ??Robe of the Magi??, and the ??Ring of Wizardry??. |

Grants the user Reinvigoration and a lot of Attack and Defense. Useful on a Mage to protect himself and reduce Fatigue; because of the low price, you could mass-produce them to give to all of your Communion mages. Other weapons have better DPS effects. |

Provides the wearer with an additional attack per round. This is useful on high-Strength units who can already get around quickly; unfortunately, your [[Flying]] Mages aren't that strong, while your Strong commanders aren't that mobile (or can't wear shoes). |

| | **Master of Warriors** \\ A build that allows you to field one expansion party of **??Warrior of the Five Elements??** per turn, able to clear all weak and most medium strength indies. With magic weapons, high strength, attack and defence skill, your sacreds are no pushover. A quick expansion is needed, considering that Growth and Magic scales are zeroed. Luck 3 is a great scale to counteract this light dump, however. |
