Out of all Agarthas, it looks like only MA's Olm summoning ritual is cave-only. EA Agartha can, of course, recruit Olms outright.

MA Agartha is the only one I've played or played against so far, yeah.

According to the mod inspector, the only one that seems to have a magic site requirement is their alteration 9 spell. Otherwise, some descriptions imply their national summons are only castable on the capital, so they're not cave summons per se, but they would normally be cast in caves if that makes any sense?

Rhuax Pact and Barathrus Pact also have a site requirement. But yeah, Bind Penumbral can be cast anywhere, despite saying "the mage goes down to the Chamber of the Seal" in the description.

I have only two neighboring lands to my capital.
But my malformed, one-handed, one-legged giants seem to feel okay with that.

Sure about that? You've got some high resource troops.

Yup, MA Agartha is the only one that needs a cave for national summons.

EA Agartha likes caves because they can recruit just about their entire roster in them without a fort (Only oracles, earth readers and ancient ones are the exceptions)
It should be noted that while EA Agartha can recruit Olms outright, they're cap only unless I find a cave.

I'm fine with not starting in a cave, and this spot seems ok for me.

The die is cast, the game is set. Once more the cycle of infinite madness spins on. I wish you all good luck and a !!FUN!! time.

Looks like Therodos took my advice or started with an awake pretender. Those spectral troops are going to be a pain for just about anyone fighting them, heh. Though to be fair, I expect that mostly since they might fight your troops to exhaustion really.

If anyone really got screwed over, let me know and we restart. When the weather becomes better, so does my starting position, so thats... something.

I was unaware Therodos had moral (issues), good to know. But you just counter em with priest spam, anyway or?

The score graphs tell us that Vanheim really wanted that research headstart - and got it. And the Bat-people are still arming up. And apperently I have the 2end strongest dominion, somehow? I guess thats just candle-spread-chance.

If you want to bet on quickspears, don't start low, these guys are hot goods.

I'm really surprised no one else recruited a researcher turn 1. Well, if it means another 2 turns in the midgame where I'm on-par with the research curve, I'll take it.

I recruited some researchers, but I've utterly failed at expanding so far.
