The Spirit of the Jungle in Immortal Empires
Nakai leads the Spirit of the Jungle in Immortal Empires. His horde carries its infrastructure with the army. Encamp to develop that infrastructure and prepare the next stage of the march; a lost horde also means losing the investment it carried.
The Defenders of the Great Plan are his vassal, a separate faction that takes care of captured territory. Temple dedications and Old Ones' Favour give conquest a religious progression alongside the development of the horde. Choose a route with both the army's recovery and the vassal's position in mind.
Build around the horde
Nakai's own horde unlocks recruitment options that other armies in his faction can draw upon. Build a useful core before opening another front, and check the horde recruitment panel when preparing replacements.
His Kroxigor Ancients can develop their unique skill line without the usual choice between its branches. This supports a campaign with several monstrous infantry commanders, provided each army has troops that can hold space around them.
Give the Kroxigors room
Nakai is a melee brawler. Send him into a fight that the rest of the army can reach, with infantry supporting the larger bodies. A tightly packed mass of monsters can obstruct itself and leave enemy ranged troops firing undisturbed.
Saurus Warriors can occupy the front while Kroxigors attack through supported positions. Skinks offer a smaller, mobile element. Keep a reserve watching for troops that try to reach the army's rear.
Spirit of the Jungle
Nakai requires The Hunter and the Beast. The store page calls him a revered Kroxigor of the first spawning, whose home city Tlanxla was destroyed in the Great Catastrophe, and who has wandered since in service of the Great Plan. The 29 August 2019 FAQ sets the Spirit of the Jungle against Markus Wulfhart. The Vortex telling of that rivalry is a hunt for warmblood invaders, and that hunt belongs to the Vortex campaign.
In battle he is a melee brawler. Saurus Warriors can occupy the front while the larger bodies need room to swing. The campaign is a horde: the Encampment stance carries the infrastructure, and the Defenders of the Great Plan are the vassal that holds captured territory. The 28 June 2022 prologue lists the Tower of Ashung for him. That row is the prologue's list. Markus Wulfhart is the Empire hunter named in the 2019 FAQ.
