Somebody mentioned, quite a while back, the thought of mass-producing Staves of Corrosion. I've yet to figure out a good way to do that early in a game, with any Nation, but it would still be a lot of fun if you could figure it out.

EA Atlantis?

All Basalt Kings as well as a better than 1/4 of all Mages of the Deep can craft them. Additionally, Atlantis has the appropriate gem income in their capital and the ability to craft hammers - again using gems from their capital. Construction 4 and you are set to go.
