*Vulcanor are myths of the Square, and few have seen them, much less their black cities. They reside in thier volcanic wilds and survive on Haelhund meat and emberfruit. With their magic they create creatures of fire and stone. Their gods have told them to start a conquest, to reveal themselves to the world. The Vulcanor are coming.*

Vulcanor start with the Thermal tech, which replaces Mining and allows the Vulcanor to summon Magma Golems.

## In Game

Vulcanor would be very useful in game, and it can level up at turn 0. By building a Thermal Sanctuary, you can have a massive military when you meet someone. The Magma Golem's slow speed and high attack makes it like a ranged giant. If you're lucky, you can get more than one volcano in your starting territory and get your city up to level 2 using the sanctuaries. By expanding your border, you can get a lava forge using the replacement smithery, lava forging. Lava forging is useful for upgrading your cities and getting a Magma Lord, but Lava Forging also lets you get a fire swordsman. Fire swordsmen (and the Magma Lord and Golem) can attack enemies to give them the burn effect. The burn effect deals 1 damage every turn until the unit uses Extinguish, the action that gets rid of burn. Burn dies out after 10 total damage.

Fighting Vulcanor, the best stratagem is to stamp it out before it can start spamming Golems. If you cant do that, the best thing to do is catapults. Their farther reach can peck off the Golems. A shield wall is useful here.
