| ====== WIP MA R'lyeh, Fallen Star ====== | |
| |
| ===== Lore ===== | |
| In ages past, a distant star inhabited by a great race of strange, alien beings was struck with an unimaginable catastrophe. The star fell from the heavens, breaking into tiny shards. One such shard fell through the Spheres and down upon the world. The shard came to rest on the ocean floor and there a remnant of this great race adapted and survived. They multiplied and enslaved a race of fishlike humanoids by sheer strength of mind. | |
| |
| R’lyeh, the Sunken City, is a mind-defying place built under the sea with an architecture unlike any known to man. In the halls of R’lyeh the Starspawns, the Great Ones who survived the Fall, plan the re-emergence of their Great Race. The Starspawns are powerful mages with great knowledge of distant stars and all of the Great Race are powerful mindcrafters. | |
| |
| All coastal forts of R’lyeh have a special well where women can submerge themselves in the hope of being impregnated by a Great One. However, most will be taken by Deep Ones instead, and the women’s offspring will be strange, fishlike humanoids instead of the noble Starchildren they wanted. These half-human hybrids are usually devoted to the cause of putting mankind below the sea and often join the army of R’lyeh free of charge. | |
| |
| ===== General Overview ===== | |
| MA R'lyeh is an underwater nation that relies on slave armies backed by powerful mages and void monsters. With the falling of the star the aboleths of the early age have been replaced by Illithids, who in many ways have taken what the aboleths of EA R'lyeh built and improved upon it. The R'lyeh capital contains a void gate, which any astral mage can enter in an attempt to summon void beings from beyond. | |

| | {{:nations:ma:rlyeh:scout.png?30&nolink}} | **??Scout#432??**\\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 25\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 1 | {{:abilities:amphibious.png?20&nolink}} [[Amphibious]]\\ {{:abilities:darkvision.png?20&nolink}} [[Darkvision]](50%)\\ {{:abilities:stealthy.png?20&nolink}} [[Stealthy]](50) | Amphibious atlantian scout good for scouting both land and sea provinces. It can be worth creating a few of these early on as finding indy underwater scouts to recruit is highly unlikely. | | |
| | {{:nations:la:rlyeh:traitor_prince.png?30&nolink}} | **??Traitor Prince??**\\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 80\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 49 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 1 | {{:abilities:amphibious.png?20&nolink}} [[Amphibious]]\\ {{:abilities:darkvision.png?20&nolink}} [[Darkvision]](50%) | Well armoured 80 leadership commander that can use line formations, but lack magic leadership.\\ Good for leading meteorite guard in lines should that be desired.\\ Can also be given a ??Greatsword of Sharpness?? and used alongside mindblasters to counter high prot thugs and SCs that cannot otherwise be dealt with by your meteorite guard. | | |
| | {{:nations:la:rlyeh:illithid_lord.png?30&nolink}} | **??Illithid Lord??**\\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 80\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 51 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 1 | {{:abilities:Amphibious.png?20&nolink}} [[Amphibious]]\\ {{:abilities:resist_blunt.png?20&nolink}} [[Blunt Resistant]]\\ {{:abilities:magic_being.png?20&nolink}} [[Magic Being]]\\ {{:abilities:spirit_sight.png?20&nolink}} [[Spirit Sight]]\\ {{:abilities:void_sanity.png?20&nolink}} [[Void Sanity]] (10)\\ {{:abilities:taskmaster.png?20&nolink}} [[Taskmaster]] (+2) | Your primary commander that can lead 40 mundane and 40 magical units. That plus having [[Taskmaster]] +2 makes them quite good for leading your slave troops, meteorite guard, mindblasters, and any void beings that you might want to bring to the battlefield.\\ Like all illithids they possess a mind blast attack and being commanders are capable of being set to fire rear, allowing them to have a chance to shut down enemy mages. | | |
| | {{:nations:la:rlyeh:slave_priest.png?30&nolink}} | **??Slave Priest??**\\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 45\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 1 | {{path>H1}}\\ {{:abilities:sacred.png?20&nolink}} [[Sacred]]\\ {{:abilities:Amphibious.png?20&nolink}} [[Amphibious]]\\ {{:abilities:slave.png?20&nolink}} [[Slave]] | Cheap {{path>H1}} priest. Has very low upkeep due to being both sacred and a slave. With a large magic leadership bless they can serve to ferry your magic being troops about. | | |
| | {{:nations:la:rlyeh:star_child.png?30&nolink}} | **??Star Child??**\\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 85\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ +Rec Costal Forts | {{path>S1}} {{:misc:gui:research.png?15&nolink}} 7\\ {{:abilities:Amphibious.png?20&nolink}} [[Amphibious]]\\ {{:abilities:resist_blunt.png?20&nolink}} [[Blunt Resistant]]\\ {{:abilities:stealthy.png?15&nolink}} [[Stealthy]](55)\\ {{:abilities:spirit_sight.png?20&nolink}} [[Spirit Sight]]\\ {{:abilities:assassin.png?20&nolink}} [[Assassin]] (2)\\ {{:abilities:void_sanity.png?20&nolink}} [[Void Sanity]] (5) | A powerful mage assassin. They make for decent communion slaves and are fairly cost efficient ??Magic Duel?? casters, but what truly makes them so formidable is their ability to assassinate enemy commanders. A star child set to fire rear holding a ??Bottle of Living Water?? can reliably kill most commanders and mages and makes construction 6 a very important research target for MA R'lyeh.\\ A group of 10 to 20 in a fort can render it extremely difficult to assault, you will likely want all of your coastal forts and perhaps even one or two of your underwater forts recruiting these mostly non-stop. | | |
| | {{:nations:la:rlyeh:slave_mage.png?30&nolink}} | **??Slave Mage#1518??**\\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 175\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1\\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2 | {{path>W2,S1,100%WESN}} {{:misc:gui:research.png?15&nolink}} 13\\ {{:abilities:Amphibious.png?20&nolink}} [[Amphibious]]\\ {{:abilities:slave.png?20&nolink}} [[Slave]] | Your primary mage. They have about the same upkeep as a 90 gold mage making them cost-efficient researchers.\\ {{path>W3S1}} randoms can ??Summon Water Elemental?? out the box, Astrals can ??Mind Burn?? plus Eath and Nature can communion to cast spells.\\ Generally aside from the occasional recruitment of Illithid Lords you would want most of your underwater forts outside of your capital recruiting these every turn. | | |
| | {{:nations:la:rlyeh:starspawn_2.png?30&nolink}} | **??Starspawn#333??**\\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 200\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1\\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2 | {{path>S1,H2,100%WESD}} {{:misc:gui:research.png?15&nolink}} 9\\ {{:abilities:sacred.png?20&nolink}} [[Sacred]]\\ {{:abilities:Amphibious.png?20&nolink}} [[Amphibious]]\\ {{:abilities:resist_blunt.png?20&nolink}} [[Blunt Resistant]]\\ {{:abilities:magic_being.png?20&nolink}} [[Magic Being]]\\ {{:abilities:summoning_skill.png?20&nolink}} [[Summoning Skill]] (3)\\ {{:abilities:spirit_sight.png?20&nolink}} [[Spirit Sight]]\\ {{:abilities:void_sanity.png?20&nolink}}[[Void Sanity]](10) | One of two illithid mages that are named "starspawn", this one is a recruit anywhere {{path>H2}} priest useful for preaching out enemy dominion. They can also be useful on the battlefield both in communions to cast ??Fanaticism?? and as a good counter to large numbers of enemy undead such as ??Horde of Skeletons?? spam.\\ important duty is grabbing units from the void gate. Should get one quickly to venture in and level up its Summer skill to get some of the stronger spawns. There is always a decent chance that he will be attacked by the summoning, so gear and scripted for that. | | |
| | {{:nations:la:rlyeh:stargazer.png?30&nolink}} | **??Starspawn#332?? (Capital)**\\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 290\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1\\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 4\\ {{:misc:gui:fortress.png?20&nolink}} Capital Only | {{path>W1,S3,100%WESD,100%WESD,10%WESD}} {{:misc:gui:research.png?15&nolink}} 17\\ {{:abilities:Amphibious.png?20&nolink}} [[Amphibious]]\\ {{:abilities:resist_blunt.png?20&nolink}} [[Blunt Resistant]]\\ {{:abilities:magic_being.png?20&nolink}} [[Magic Being]]\\ {{:abilities:spirit_sight.png?20&nolink}} [[Spirit Sight]]\\ {{:abilities:void_sanity.png?20&nolink}} [[Void Sanity]] (10) | Capital Only. Very strong mages with relatively high magical leadership.\\ Are your strongest mage to recruit after you move your commander recs to other forts. Can random the highest earth, Death, and astral paths in the nation. They are very strong ritual casters, forgers, and out of the box battle mages. having native access to {{path>S5}} is significant for any nation. | | |
| | {{:nations:la:rlyeh:hybrid_commander.png?30&nolink}} | **??Hybrid Commander??**\\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 50\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 19\\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 1\\ Coastal fortress only | {{:abilities:Amphibious.png?20&nolink}} [[Amphibious]]\\ {{:abilities:spirit_sight.png?20&nolink}} [[Spirit Sight]] | A coastal fort only commander that cannot use line formations. With 60 mundane leadership and only 10 magic leadership and no [[Taskmaster]] bonus they are generally not very good leaders, but can be useful in a pinch or just to ferry troops about. Like Illithid Lords they are mind blasters and can be set to fire rear.\\ For whatever reason their armour is made of iron and will rust underwater. | | |

| | {{:nations:la:rlyeh:slave_trooper.png?30&nolink}} | **??Slave Trooper#335??**\\ {{gold}} 9\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 6 | {{:abilities:amphibious.png?20&nolink}} [[Amphibious]]\\ {{:abilities:darkvision.png?20&nolink}} [[Darkvision]](100%)\\ {{:abilities:slave.png?20&nolink}} [[slave]] | Amphibious atlantian slave troops. Like most of your slave troops they have poor morale and will tend to rout easily. They come in three varieties of naked, body armour, and body armour + helmt. Their stats are all-round worst when compared to the triton slaves, but they can venture onto land.\\ Usually not worth recruiting outside of initial expansion. | | |

No armor but could be mixed with other chaff to support with its net attack. Though if you are going to use non-meteorite guard slaves mixing the net throwers in with them can be useful. | | |
| | {{:nations:la:rlyeh:slave_guardian_2.png?30&nolink}} \\ {{:nations:la:rlyeh:slave_guardian_5.png?30&nolink}} | **??Slave Guardian#1524??**\\ **??Slave Guardian#1525??**\\ {{gold}} 9\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 10 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 6 | {{:abilities:amphibious.png?20&nolink}} [[Amphibious]]\\ {{:abilities:slave.png?20&nolink}} [[slave]] | Mermen are Less survivablity then the Atlantian slaves but can act like fast cav underwater. They don't offer much to justiy themselve exept to be used as addtional chaff on land unlike Tritons. | | |
| | {{:nations:la:rlyeh:slave_trooper_3.png?30&nolink}} | **??Slave Trooper#1517??**\\ {{gold}} 9\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 6 | {{:abilities:aquatic.png?20&nolink}} [[aquatic]]\\ {{:abilities:slave.png?20&nolink}} [[slave]] | Not as Fast as Mermen, but Tritons have more HP, Atk, and Str over Atlantian.\\ Comes at the cost of Never leaving the Water and costing you a few gold coins as they do nothing else rest of the game.\\ The Guardian version is worth it as fast-moving killy chaff if your get into a Water war with another underwater nation. | | |
| | {{:nations:la:rlyeh:slave_guardian_3.png?30&nolink}} | **??Slave Guardian#1526??**\\ {{gold}} 9\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 11 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 6 | {{:abilities:aquatic.png?20&nolink}} [[aquatic]]\\ {{:abilities:slave.png?20&nolink}} [[slave]] | ::: | | |

Slow movement on and off the battle field but Decent HP, Str, MR, high Moral for a slave. Gets High Prot from Magical armour and deals High magical Damage. | | |
| | {{:nations:la:rlyeh:shambler_thrall.png?30&nolink}} | **??Shambler Thrall??**\\ {{gold}} 20\\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 22 | {{:abilities:amphibious.png?20&nolink}} [[Amphibious]]\\ {{:abilities:darkvision.png?20&nolink}} [[Darkvision]](50%)\\ {{:abilities:magic_being.png?20&nolink}} [[Magic Being]]\\ {{:abilities:slave.png?20&nolink}} [[slave]]\\ {{:abilities:mindless.png?20&nolink}} [[mindless]]\\ {{:abilities:trample.png?20&nolink}} [[trample]]\\ | Cheap for what they are but they still cost some amount of gold and Rec points.

They can carv up most common infantry found underwater. Has the limitation of being stuck underwater after expantion and not a slave so paying his high upkeep. | | |

High upkeen (of set by being a slaver chaff nation)and low moral for thier price. Not good in Melee and No Prot but good amount of HP and MR to shrog of the first hits to your back row. Mind blasters are a forec multiplier. Paralized units can't protect them selves from slave poking and it feels extra evil when a enemy mage Fail to cast their important battlfied globle as he stands slacked jaw for a turn. | | |

| Any astral mage can enter the magic site in R'lyeh's capital (including enemy nations that conquer it). Only one mage can enter it per turn. | |
| |
| Each mage is assigned a percent chance to summon something, Starting at 20% and increasing by +20% until something comes out the portal. if successful(being attacked count as success) the mage's chances reset to 20%. A mages percent chance will persist as long as its not killed (FIXME does twiceborn changes it?). | |
| |
| If a mage succeeds to summon something, what comes out is determined by a roll.\\ | |
| ''summon roll = unit [[summoning ability]] + 2d6 (not open)'' | |
| |
| After this roll is made, the unit's summoning ability is increased by 0.5 to 1.5. This increase will not apply to this summon's roll. While the game will display the rounded down value, an extra .5 will still be stored. | |
| |
| the corresponding units rolled then appear. However, there is a 50% chance that the roll will be ignored if ??Astral Corruption?? is up. In that case, there is either a 75% chance of getting the horror attack roll or a 25% chance of attack by ??Eater of Dreams??. | |
| |
| by default, there is a 20% chance the summons will attack the summoner, with the percent value incresing when ??Astral Corruption?? is up and specific rolls have a higher chance of attack. The chance of being attacked is multiplied by 4 if your nation isn't R'lyeh. | |
| |
| In addition to the summon attempt, there is a 2% chance for the unit to get [[affliction|feebleminded]]. | |
| There is also a chance of getting lost in time and space or gaining insanity. The base chance for either is 65%. This chance is divided by the unit's void sanity and rounded down, so a 10 void sanity unit has a 6% chance of either. These chances are done independently and both can happen at once. | |
| |
| If the unit gains insanity, an open roll of 65 / void sanity is done. A unit without void sanity rolls an open 1d65 but a 10 void sanity illithid rolls 1d6. If the roll is greater than 100, the unit is given 100 [[insanity]]. Otherwise, a different open roll of 65 / void sanity is added to the unit's [[insanity]]. | |

| ===Gate Spawn Summary=== | |
| These are all sacred but you generally won't be able to summon enough to justify a bless specifically for them. | |
| ^ Sprite ^ Unit Name ^ Comments ^ | |
| | {{:nations:ma:rlyeh:vile_thing.png?25&nolink }} | **??Vile Thing??** | Weakest of the spawn. slow and only two weak un-damage-typed tentacle attacks. | | |
| | {{:nations:ma:rlyeh:thing_of_many_eyes.png?25&nolink }} | **??Thing Of Many Eyes??** | Can't Leave the Capital except for army-wide teleports.\\ is a defense turret with a Ranged and melee [[weaken]] attack to punish besiegers. | | |
| | {{:nations:ma:rlyeh:thing_from_the_void.png?25&nolink }} | **??Thing From The Void??** | anouther not so great slow unit. Has 3 tentacles and a ??Slime?? attack. | | |
| | {{:nations:ma:rlyeh:elder_thing.png?25&nolink }} | **??Elder Thing??** | Free Illithids with no upkeep. Not only does it mind blast, it also punishes backfield attackers with additional [[paralyze Damage]], stalling long enough for gaurds to come to your aid. | | |
| | {{:nations:ma:rlyeh:Formless_Spawn.png?25&nolink }} | **??Formless Spawn??** | Hard to kill Regenerating slime. Hold up Chaff while Crushing them. | | |
| | {{:nations:ma:rlyeh:thing_from_beyond.png?25&nolink }} | **??Thing From Beyond??** | like the Vile Thing, a defensive mind blaster and 3 tentecle attacks if threatend. | | |
| | {{:nations:ma:rlyeh:lesser_otherness.png?25&nolink }} | **??Lesser Otherness??** | A hard to kill regenerating high HP unit with 15 res to all elemental and poison damage that can trample.\\ Easily one of the better summons you can get, especially if you get the size 6 ones. | | |
| | {{:nations:ma:rlyeh:otherness.png?25&nolink }} | **??Otherness??** | ::: | | |
| | {{:nations:ma:rlyeh:greater_otherness.png?25&nolink }} | **??Greater Otherness??** | ::: | | |
| | {{:nations:ma:rlyeh:Dweller-In-The-Deep.png?25&nolink }} | **??Dweller-In-The-Deep??** | Similar to Elder Things but can't leave the water. Has [[poison barbs]] and Life Drain + paralyze attack for defense. | | |
| | {{:nations:ma:rlyeh:Thing_That_Should_Not_Be.png?25&nolink }} | **??Thing That Should Not Be??** | A big high strength high HP fear causing monster with 5 attacks, 4 of which are magical Life drain attacks. Makes for an excellent body guard for your void gate summoner, capable of dealing with most of the things that might attack them. With proper buffing they can also be used as a powerful army support thug of sorts. | | |
| | {{:nations:ma:rlyeh:vastness.png?25&nolink }} | **??Vastness??** | One of the Perhaps the best out come you can get from summoning at the void gate. A very powerful being with 4 mind blasters and two strength stealing melee attacks, and has the rare and powerful [[Damge reversal]] ability. Well worth the cost of making it a commander as it has {{path>S3}}, [[Inate Spellcaster]], and it can teleport to anywhere on the world map. Like the visitor it is worth making it your prophet if you get one for ability to rapidly claim thrones. | | |
| | {{:nations:ma:rlyeh:visitor.png?25&nolink }} | **??Shubejc - Visitor??** | | | |

| ===== Magic ===== | |
| ===Research Piroity=== | |
| Such Flexibility with Water, Earth, Nature, Death, and Astral every path has something and will depend on the situation. WHat would be a priority are Conjuration become water Elementals are important in Water wars, and must get thaumaturgy for communions eventually. | |
| ==== Magic Access ==== | |
| MA R'lyeh has very strong access to astral magic and strong access to water. A good early game research path is conjuration to get summon sharks for combat in the water and eventually summon water elemental. Your cheap slave mages will often have water 3. As the game progresses and you're doing more fighting on land astral magic can take the forefront. Slave Mages and the weaker Starchildren make for good communion slaves while the capital only Starspawn makes powerful communion masters. | |
| |
| |
| |
| ====Combat Magic==== | |
| |
| Your a communion nation with some of the most cost-effective communion mages. | |
| |
| Even without communions ??Slave Mage??s are strong water mages that can be mass-able numbers. | |
| |
| Already they can random in Earth and Nature into communions with Starspawn adding Higher Astral and death to it. | |
| |
| Just by themselves, a group of Slave Mages is a force, especially when leading groups of Meitorit guards, Illithids and Liboimize hoards. A decent-sized communion can use ??Army of Giants??, ??Howl?? and ??Bone Melter??, ??Marble Warriors??. | |
| |
| Starspawn adds ??Stygian Rains??, ??Darkness??, ??Fields of the Dead?? and ?? Enslave Mind??. For laughs, a Starspawn with minimum support and boosters can cast ??Soul Drain?? (don't have important units around when you cast that nuke). | |
| ====Ritual Magic==== | |
| You are very flexible and can help you climb important end game magic, death, and Nature. | |
| |
| Can summon ??Kokythiad??s and ??Naiad??s with boosters. Nabbing a ??Ether Gate?? for ??Ether Lord?? could add Air and blood to communions, if not better death. | |
| |
| A Starspawn can easily nab a Highlevel Astral global like ??Stellar Focus?? out the box or ??Arcane Nexus?? with boosters. | |
| |
| You have very good ??Mind Hunt??ing game. | |
| ====Magic Items==== | |
| ===National=== | |
| ***??Anemone Mace??** Construction 2, {{path>W1}} {{gems>5W}}. A thug weapon that grants a lot of attack skills and deals Paralysis and Mortal poison. | |
| ***??Jellyberd??** Construction 6, {{path>S1F1}} {{gems>5S5F}}. Fire Astral crossbath is not native magic. A more defensive Anemone Mace with stronger secondary damage, more Ideal for a suppercombatent. | |
| =====Strategy===== | |
| ====Early Game==== | |
| Focus on controlling the body of water you find yourself in. Water magic is far weaker in combat once you step on land. It's not a bad idea to try and carve out a small section of coastal provinces if able just to ensure you have a foothold for later expansion. Often if there are multiple underwater nations sharing a body the first half of the game will largely be them warring with one another in an attempt to gain sole control over the sea. | |
| ====Mid Game==== | |
| I tend to focus on Conjuration first to get access to the water elementals and Voice of Tiamat spell. Conjuration 5 gives full-sized water elementals as well as the Voice of Tiamat. A few points in construction are always beneficial (Construction 6 to give your Starchildren water elemental items makes them excellent assassins) and don't forget that you need a couple in Thaumaturgy eventually just to set your communions up. | |
| ====Late Game==== | |
| |
| By late game, slave armies supported by endgame magic from Cap Starspawn and communions like ??Army of Gold??, ??Army of Lead??, ??Mass Regeneration?? and ??Enslave Mind?? should run over armies, after many of their Leaders get assassinated by Rituals and Star children. | |
| |
| They are also natively capable with boosters to get high-level astral Globals. | |
| |
| R'lyeh can make the immortal Death thugs but can lack a natural end game super combatant (use a pretender of empowerment (Do have the off chance to steal one as an astral nation)). | |
