Gaia is a major character in the The New Atlantis campaign. After they split off from the deceitful Krios when he tricked them into releasing the Titans. she becomes the new patron of Kastor's Atlanteans.
In the scenario Making Amends, Kastor and his allies return to Sikyos to find the city devastated. Despite the destruction, greenery still springs forth around a temple dedicated to Gaia. Arkantos explains that, through Kastor's weakening of the Olympian gods, all of the Titans have regained power, including the benevolent Gaia. By spreading her lush influence, Gaia weakens the rampaging Prometheus enough for Kastor's group to defeat him.
In the final scenario, War of the Titans, Gaia's presence on the ruins of Old Atlantis prompts Kastor to have her seeds placed in four Gaia Pools. Doing so summons her to the island in order to defeat the newly released Kronos and recapture him in Tartarus. After the battle is done, she returns to the Earth and aids the Atlanteans in rebuilding Atlantis, once again making the island lush.
Unit stats[]
As a unit, she regenerates her huge HP at a rate so fast (100 HP/second, allowing her to regenerate all her HP in exactly 8 minutes 20 seconds) that she is practically invulnerable.
Her stats are comparable to those of her son Kronos other than her attack power which is much higher, and they would normally not be able to harm each other due to their regeneration. However, Gaia has an attack bonus of 100 against Kronos (and no other unit), allowing her to easily defeat him.
