A question on Atlantis

That said, I certainly don't share the conviction of some selfdeclared experts that Atlantis is weak. Watermagic leaves a bit to be desired in terms of summons and impressive combatmagic, but the nation itself works very well. Frozen Heart is a great spell, especially against small Groups of elite soldiers, or not frost-immune SCs.

lol i never said i am an expert rofl

mid-lategame with your mentioned tactics + clamhoarding atlantis may be not so bad sure .
but all undeads are cold immune ! so if you don't have lots of priests what i doubt because they are rather expensive ermor can be too hard if it borders the see and decides to wipe you out earlygame .

your other earlygame enemy ryleh is hard too .

finally midgame a attack with a few fully euqipped scs , especially ice devils can give you hard trouble too .
you can't summon banelords in the sea .
your water queens are inferior to ice devils .
getting a foothold on the continent + defending it is extremely hard as atlantis .
summonable scs in the sea are only afaik :
- wraith lords
- water queens
- in theory : the ice devils


most maps just support 1 underwater nation and most ppl chose then ryleh because most think it is a bit better than atlantis .
