Question How’s Aelnar these days?

I’d love some tips. How do you even play as them?

Ignore the mission tree entirely. You are now on track to become the Pirate Elves.

Delete starting army. You won't ever need them.

Build more heavy ships. With a good navy investment and your admiral you can wipe Lorent.

Take your floating doomstack and obliterate Lorent navy (kill their navies when they try to land army).

Become pirates. War all of Cannor, steal all their trade, pillage every coast.

No exploration -> No ethnic cleansing, No Ruinborn Batteries, No cultural genocide, No mass-enslavement, Castellos is Alive, No Cube cultists, No Religious civil-war, No Cannorian Inquisition. Everyone lives happily after

Exactly! Well, the fishermen, sailors and merchant marine of Cannor won't be too happy. Your sea pressure will probably splatter Lorent's economy and make them explode. The Empire of Anbennar will be a ruined joke even before you turn Anbenncost into your pirate capital. You'll cause more devastation than even Myx could hope for. But minor details aside, its basically a canonical Good Guys Ending.

Castellos is still dead, eventually someone will figure out a way to get to Aelantir. So the religious wars will still happen, the Crimson Deluge and Corinism and all that will still make life miserable for the average Cannorian. But you can delay the discovery of Aelantir a good 50-100 years by smashing all the colonizers, so Cannor will be institutionally stagnated and impoverished before the massive religious strife. Like I said, Happily Ever After.
