| | 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. |
