Ohhh very good to see a person playing my favorite nation. although I have a couple of points that perhaps I think are missing: One thing that many people don't do with size changes is the best way to fill a square is with 2 deep ones (size 3) and a shambler (size 4) which gives you 7 attacks per square. Livigin Pillars are a very strong unit, the only thing is that you don't have to think of them as units, but rather as mini thugs, so you have to think about how they can kill the most troops, in my tests Fear with a little poison resistance works wonders. A very important thing I'm missing from your analysis is that ALL your troops have abysmal magic resistance, which is reduced even more in your dominion when you have magic scales. I understand the reasoning that you need to improve your research, but mage of te deep are very efficient mages in terms of research per turn, although they are very bad in terms of research per gold maintenance. A very important thing about EA Atlantis is its poor magical diversity, because they are very good at using elemental spells, but by not having any sorcery path their mid to late game declines substantially, so it seems very important to me to consider a god that allows you to open plays, at least I think Astral is mandatory to be able to access mainly antimagic and then you can vary between Nature or Death depending on what you like, although thinking about it this way an imprisioned god is going to wake up too late to do anything important. One last thing, I am not a follower of luck as a good scale more in a nation without heroes and who usually wants to use order to have more gold and recruitment points Sorry if it's too much or not understood, I'm a bit intense when it comes to EA Atlantis and my English is pretty bad.

I think those are all good points all around! I find Living Pillars a bit of a trap due to the high bless investment and resource cost, but that doesn't mean they are not useable. In the stream we actually ended up with Magic 4(!) and that was a bit worrisome. If you have time, check out the stream and let me know what you think of my Atlantis play. I felt like it was a pretty good run and had a nice tense ending!

Instead of weightless, why not spend 6 blees points in reinvigoration? That way they should only take around 6 or 5 fatigue per round, which is not as good as weightless going to 4, but it also helps the casters. A Reinvigoration x3 bless means your casters can spam 2 elemental summons before they collapse, or spam buffing spells for 5 rounds straight without trouble. Yeah, earthpower does that for them already, but more reinvigoration can never hurt.

If you are using the random map generator, sometimes the visual can be a bit off. To the game, the only thing that matters is the flag icon and the dotted lines. We had a weird spot on the Arco stream map, that visually didn't make sense.

One nation I think that would be cool to check out would be cool to eventually do, even if it's another UW nation, would be MA R'lyeh. Although I have a softspot for its EA version, I basically never personally play it because there's just _too many god damned polypspawn_. so many And regarding the MA one, I uh... don't play MA. Or LA for that matter. idk, just never kinda landed for me, those two ages.
