| Uruk is a warm plain inhabited by Enkidus, large, hairy wild men with horns and unkempt hair. Since the founding of Eridu, the First City, civilization has spread and the kingdom expanded. Other cities were founded in the image of Eridu, each with its own character. Administrators from the City of Scribes aided local rulers, while traders and merchants from the City of Trade improved the economic infrastructure of the kingdom. But the Ensi of Eridu lost power and petty kings of the new cities rose to power and claimed the Ensi title. Strife and turmoil tore the kingdom apart. One of the new cities, the City of Gods was blessed by the Awakening God and saw the first Entu of the Moon erect a great temple in the city. It soon replaced the First City as religious center and the Entu priestesses of the First City moved to the City of Gods, no longer bound in marriage to the ruling Ensi. With the coming of the Awakening God, the city states have set their differences aside and joined a common cause. In the plains of Uruk the First City still stands as a symbol of civilization, although its temporal and religious power has diminished. Now each city has its own Ensi ruler. The wild men are no longer wild, and the shamans and Bone Readers of old have been replaced by the priests and mages of the cities. | Uruk is a warm plain inhabited by Enkidus, large, hairy wild men with horns and unkempt hair.

| The fact that Uruk's city mages are all priests means they all benefit from a bless and have low sacred upkeep, making it a nation whose mage corps scales well as the game progresses. However, Uruk can't recruit any of its national mages in a land fort without an expensive (600 gold) temple. As a result, you need 1850 gold of infrastructure to start recruiting 70 gold ??Naditu??. The foreign recruit ??Enkidu Shaman?? provide a critical way to recruit mages without making that investment. | The fact that Uruk's city mages are all priests means they all benefit from a bless and have low sacred upkeep, making it a nation whose mage corps scales well as the game progresses.

They even sing their spells, giving a 50% delay to their non-[[Divine Magic|Divine]] spellcasting but also 50% less fatigue. For example, they can cast ??Swarm?? without passing out. They do have the lowest Morale in Uruk, though, so they're liable to routing early or getting stolen by ??Troubadour??s. \\ \\ Outside of battle, Gala are easily the most-efficient option for recalling your Pretender, with those matching their talent costing more than three times their price. \\ 30 upkeep (2.5 gold per turn). | |

They cure diseases, spam ??Healing Light?? in battle (if allowed), and serve as good Communion Slaves for the Mashmashu; having more than 20 HP makes ??Personal Regeneration?? heal 3 HP per turn (compared to the Naditu's 2), so they can handle quite a bit of use if given a little prep. \\ 52 upkeep (4.33 gold per turn). | |
