| Tir na n'Og has standard level forts for the EA, having access to palisades and fortresses. | TNN offers several excellent troop options. Most notable are the superhuman Fir Bolg who are armed with various weapons, the elite [[Glamour|Glamoured]] Sidhe and cap-only Tuatha sacreds. There is a lack of ranged troops (aside from weak slingers), but most of their units carry javelins in addition to their melee weapons. Their cavalry is restricted to commanders. |

Their greatest weakness is the lack of armour. 7 prot and no helmet puts them firmly in the "light infantry" camp, and while def skill can make up for this in melee, it can't protect them from projectiles which remain a vulnerability despite their shield.

While their stats may be a small improvement on those of Fir Bolg, they're a cut above regular troops and can take on much larger numbers of basic infantry and come out on top. As TNN a key choice is whether to focus on Fir Bolg troops, sacrificing [[Stealth]] for greater numbers, or to go for an all Elf build for your armies with Sidhe and Tuatha making up the troops. This latter alternative opens the possibility of a fully [[Stealth|stealthed]], invisible main army that can outmaneuver your opponent's forces and potentially give a decisive strategic advantage by. You can use this to, for example, decapitate an opponents infrastructure by unexpectedly striking their capital while their armies are too far away to lend support. The strengths of this approach should be obvious, but its drawbacks are the relatively high gold cost of the Sidhe troops who would serve as the frontlines in such a build, resulting in smaller armies with lower siege strength that are just as vulnerable to projectiles and evocations as much cheaper troops. As the game progresses, they may end up being replaced by cheaper options as the battlefield becomes an increasingly more dangerous place for any troop to set foot, and mass troop buffs make numbers more important.

They wield magic weapons as well, giving potentially very valuable utility against certain targets.

| An important tool for winning is to [[Raid]] as many provinces per turn as possible with ??Sidhe Lord#1759?? or a ??Champion?? led ??Tuatha Warrior?? squad to quickly take all of their provinces. Sidhe Lords are excellent [[Raid|raiders]] with Bless / ??Barkskin?? / ??Air Shield?? / ??Mistform?? / ??Personal Regeneration?? (??Flight?? / ??Elemental Fortitude??). Later, they can ??Cloud Trapeze?? (Ench4) into enemy hinterlands or to cut off enemy armies' retreat paths. They can be used with minimal equipment (??Frost Brand??) but are even better with a ??Vine Shield??, armor (??Kithaironic Lion Pelt?? / ??Armor of Knights??), and a repelling ??Dancing Trident??. Likewise, ??Baobhan Sidhe?? used as assassins are tough to hit with normal weapons, and if you can make ??Shroud of the Battle Saint??s for them, they also profit from your bless. Baobhan Sidhe are excellent with retinue items (??Handful of Acorns??, later ??Bottle of Living Water??) and gems for air elementals. ??Seeking Arrow?? (Ench3) can kill human-sized non-[[Stealth]] commanders (8 AN +DRN damage, 38% to kill 10 HP). ??Call of the Winds?? and ??Call of the Wild?? (Conj3) can be effective against weak province defense but are quite expensive. | An important tool for winning is to [[Raid]] as many provinces per turn as possible with ??Sidhe Lord#1759?? or a ??Champion?? led ??Tuatha Warrior?? squad to quickly take all of their provinces. Sidhe Lords are excellent [[Raid|raiders]] with Bless / ??Barkskin?? / ??Air Shield?? / ??Mistform?? / ??Personal Regeneration?? (??Flight?? / ??Elemental Fortitude??).
