MA Atlantis...am I missing something?

I agree K that Atlantis is not a great bless race. But they suck, and they have to do something.

They need thugs, but have no real access to thugs other than the water queens.

Basically, they are a powerful, commander based magic race, meaning they need tons of research and a lot of castles to really shine.

The King of the Deep, Coral Queen, and Consort are all recruitable anywhere, meaning:

--Consort: Hand him a nice cheap hammer-made Frost Brand(3 W), a hammer-made Luck Pendant(3 Astral) and some decent armor(3 Earth or Fire) and he thugs quite nicely.

--King of the Deep: With equipment, can toss down Falling Frosts big enough to cover whole enemy armies. Can also potentially cast such favorites like Flaming Arrows, Marble Warriors, Frozen Heart, Acid Rain, Quagmire, Grip of Winter, etc.

-Coral Queen: Smite armies, anyone?

Basically, you need money and research. The War Shambler is a decent match for most national troops with its very hard hitting power(24 damage w/glaive) and good armor(11, with a shield), and if you throw in commanders you are good to go.

A research god is best, but I can also see an argument for an Earth 9 SC god.
