| | Ys must start [[underwater]], and is weighted towards starting in a regular Sea province bordering a land province. Since Underwater-province forts cannot pull Resources from "dry" provinces, this means Ys will generally have a smaller "cap circle" than most other nations, thereby limiting the maximum potential for its [[Sacred]] troop production. On the other hand, Ys also starts with a Citadel, meaning its capital will extract more from its "cap circle" than most other factions. This is the only underwater Citadel in the game, disregarding land-to-Sea castings of ??Three Red Seconds??. |
| | |
| | Like with most underwater nations, Ys's land recruits are only available in provinces bordering an underwater province; inland forts will only have the [[Independents]] available. |

They are one of the more expensive sacreds in Dominions, only beaten in cost by a few nation's sacreds, like [[ashdod ma | MA Ashdod]] and [[ragha la | LA Ragha]], and they are not nearly so impressive underwater with their single medium-damage attack. However, on land they gain a hoof attack and, more importantly, the ability to breathe fire that deals damage in an area rather than having to make an attack check to hit, and their combat skills and protection make them difficult to kill in return. Morvarc'hs are excellent sacreds, but only reach their full potential above the water.\\ \\ Unlike other elf-type units, Morvarc'hs are not stealthy and cannot sneak. However, they are still invisible to opponents on the strategic map due to their glamour. | |
