Atlantis

[PvK]

In my first Dom I game, I played Man in their historical position on the Old World map, which is in England. Atlantis would occasionally attack at unpredictable spots in Britain, turning what would otherwise be an island fortress advantage against me. I had some success driving them away using longbows, since they have few long-ranged weapons. However I hadn't included Ry'leh, and Ermor starts out in the Mediterranean, and the only submersible units I had were mercenary shamblers, so Atlantis became a powerful northern force. I managed to take the North Sea from Atlantis briefly, but they quickly came and took it back, killed my amphibious mercenaries, and got mad and invaded the land again. Eventually Ermor started conquering most of Europe, drove me off the continent and back to my captial, where a very lengthy war raged for many months around my citadel at Avalon. I laid waste to massive amounts of Emorian undead using magic and summons from behind castle walls bristling with longbows. Atlantis started fighting Ermor as well, so there were generally two huge battles at or outside my castle every turn, with thousands of zombies being destroyed, only to reappear next turn. Eventually Ermor won my castle and I was relegated to the north with only normal units, while Atlantis continued to battle Ermor all over Britain and the surrounding seas. I struggled on with independent type non-magical units up in the Shetlands and Scotland for a while, but was eventually overcome.
