| | === Bad (but sometimes Good) Omens === |
| | |
| | The Imperial Ministry of Rituals has devised a method of countering 'bad omens'. Unfortunately, this has only made the 'bad omens' [[events]] **twice as common**, and **thrice as common** in forests and mountains. These typically lead to consequential bad events that range from annoying to disastrous, but they sometimes lead to events that are helpful; someone might find 3 {{:misc:magic:naturegem.png?nolink}}Nature [[Gems]] they didn't want, for example, or an active Volcano [[Sites|site]] (providing 3 {{:misc:magic:firegem.png?nolink}}Fire Gems per turn) might pop up under some of your taxpayers. On the other hand, your Ritual Ministers (such as the ??Ceremonial Master?? and the ??Minister of Rituals??) get a bonus chance to negate the results of the omens (on top of their [[Fortune Teller]] abilities), whether they're good or bad, with the ??Minister of Rituals?? being better with the bonus chance than they are with their typical divination check. |
| | |
| | === The Emperor's New Health === |
| | |
| | If you add a Swamp to the Empire, your invisible Emperor might get sick from it after turn 15. This is not great, as it adds [[Unrest]] and {{:misc:scales:misfortune.png?14&nolink}}Misfortune [[Scales]] to the capital, but it could be profitable. His outlook is bleak on his own, with a roughly-76% chance of dying in the next turn and an absolute maximum of six turns to live, but having an ??Imperial Alchemist?? in the capital with give him another turn and slightly-better odds of surviving the next turns. If one of your **nationally-recruited** {{:abilities:disease_healer.png?14&nolink}}[[Disease Healer|Disease Healers]] is in the Swamp, they might find a treatment that saves the Emperor's life, giving them a **+{{path>N1}} pathboost** in the process; the odds are around 75% for the ??Imperial Alchemist??s, and around 25% for the others. Ultimately his odds of dying are still higher than his odds of surviving, but the pathboost is quite nice if you can get it. |
| | |
| | If the Emperor dies, this lowers {{:misc:dominioncandle.png?3&nolink}}[[Dominion]] in the capital by 3 (which could get you dom-killed), and adds 3 points of {{:misc:scales:misfortune.png?14&nolink}}Misfortune and {{:misc:scales:turmoil.png?14&nolink}}Turmoil to it. The resulting succession crisis hits two random provinces in the Empire, has one of your ??Prince General??s [[Assassination|Assassinated]] by an ??Assassin?? (**regardless of where they are**), and ultimately undoes the negative effects on the capital (other than the deaths) during the next turn. Hopefully your single turn of increased nationwide event chance doesn't give your capital //more// problems. |
| | |
| | Unlike most national event chains (and MA T'ien Ch'i has two more that I'll have trouble explaining), this one is **not** unique; as in real life, more than one Emperor can get sick, and the same Emperor can get sick more than once. |

| ***??Celestial Servant??**: Conj 1, {{path>E1S1}} {{gems>1E}}. ({{:nations:ea:tien_chi:Celestial_Servant.png?nolink}} ??Celestial Servant??x1) not a spell you want to cast. Slightly better in MA as your ready encouraged to spam Geomancers which are the most efficient mage to summon them. if you have a bunch of Geomancers, Servant could be more gem efficient siege chaff at the cost of giving up a lot of research for a turn but you will need to take a lot of Supply bonues to prevent your own forces from starving. | ***??Celestial Servant??**: Conj 1, {{path>E1S1}} {{gems>1E}}.

Effective units to hold and kill what its holding up, having the defenses of a purely liquid creature. You do have to be careful when scripting as they will also kill your own troops if they get close. Good Idea to give everyone poison resistance as your first action. | ***??Living Mercury??**: Enchant 5, {{gems>7W}} {{path>W1E1}}. {{:nations:ma:tien_chi:Living_mercury.png?nolink}} ??Living Mercury??x1) What if ??Water Elemental??s had a [[poison cloud]].

| FIXME do you have a game plan? Anything you should always be working toward? Any National weaknesses? | ====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.// |
| | |
| | =====See More===== |
| | //Add links to guides or other overviews for this nation here.// |

| ====Pretender==== | {{template>nationindex}} |
| FIXME What kinds of scales dose your nation like? Do they require any to function? Any blesses your sacreds would like? Do you desperately need an awake expander? Examples 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 | |
