So, for the story, like the rest of the game, I have only a
general idea for it. It involves 4 races: The Perallans, the Ferons, the Ederons, and the Uldenrai, each in the vast continent of Natsurka for their own reasons, all revolving around special gems that each race can use to magically power spells, machines, and anything else in between and beyond that.
The Perallans are similar to people, but they have uniquely dark silver hair and eyes, along with having faster technological prowess. They're the closest things to Dwarves in this game, being a bit short and rather stout but without a handle or a spout. The Perallans have come to Natsurka to harvest its resources and build greater machines at the expense of nature. In-game, they are expensive to start off with, requiring very permanent purchases to be made based on what they expect of the enemy so that they can stay prepared in case of attack. This is because their units are the most expensive in the game, and have by far the most upgrades, requiring time and care to be spent on each one as they craft more and more spectacular and mighty machines with which to tear down the enemy.
The Ferons are the most diverse faction, boasting units made of vegetation and mythical creatures. They were here first, and want to protect the sacred land of Natsurka from intruders of any kind, thinking that if they weren't born in the land, then they don't belong there. In-game, the Ferons have many units fit to very different tasks, so the need to be chosen carefully. However, players shouldn't spend too long on them, as they won't spend that much time or money making the units. They're all quickly and cheaply made, allowing the player to rush an army and fight swiftly and aggressively with a huge diversity of units, but they aren't that powerful. Not only do they need strength in numbers, but having as many different types of units won't cut it, as it could multiple of a certain class to achieve taking out specific enemy type. Their armies can reflect the diversity of others to best counter the, with all sorts of non-humanoid beasts.
The Ederons are similar to people in that they are humanoid, but one might consider them aliens due to their very long and thin limbs and large, often hairless heads. They have come to this land to further their knowledge, gaining more insight into the world to strenghten their magical capabilities, amassing more power. In battle, the Ederons are physically frail but have powerful abilities. Time should be spent levelling up the best units to gain more abilities, making them high priority targets. Mostly glass cannons, the Ederon units have quick bursts of immense power unrivaled by any army, but can only use it sparingly due to the cooldowns of their skills factoring in.
Finally, the Uldenrai are dark purple-skinned, four-armed, tall, and muscular humanoids. They were sent by the Gods to colonize this land and claim it as their territory, delivering the resources of it to the deities whom they serve. Loyal and unquestioning, each Uldenran has some power over reality along with great physical strength. In battle, they are the most balanced units in the sense that they have offensive and defensive capabilities. Forming large, effective armies isn't too difficult, but still costly compared to the Ferons, though not as difficult as the Perallans. Their main strength lies in their heroes, who are the most expensive units, but have great power as they have stronger connections to the Gods. Mid-game battles are their best time to win, as they can be midly upgraded and acquire some later-game units by then to ravage the enemy in style with their cool units and powers.
As each faction progresses through the land, encountering each other and waging war, they eventually stumble across a gem of power, which is an idea I got from my backstory about a hero I made. This gem has immense strength, and every faction can benefit from having it, ranging from powering their machines of war, restoring nature to its glory, obtaining vast and unparalleled knowledge and magical power, or summoning forth the worshipped Gods to the mortal realm to better be served.
Bythe end of the game, the lesson is learned that no group should think that it's better than another, because we're all equals. It can be taken symbolically to mean that actual war can be really petty and there's no point in fighting over such things when reality disagrees. Of course, sometimes violence is the answer, but not over menial, thoughtless things.
UldenraiPersonally, these are my favorite race I've created. I like the design I came up for them the best and even if they don't have a very specific playstyle like the others, the very balanced stats and costs of the units makes for lots of options for how to strike down the enemy, along with their heroes being very strong. This is an opinion that will likely change as I continue to work on different factions, since this is the most thought-out race so far. Here is what I have:
Description: The purple-skinned, 4-armed extraterrestrial beings sent to the continent of Natsurka by the Gods to colonize it. They have existed for eons in another dimension, gathering special crystals to deliver to the Gods in exchange for prolonged life. Though many of them have died from the battles fought for these crystals, ancient members of their race still live on as legendary heroes with greater connections to the Gods. The Uldenrai will do anything and everything to serve the Gods to the fullest, and on this new continent they will let nothing stand in the way of finding new crystals to deliver to the sacred deities above, even if it requires the mass destruction of other races seeking the crystals.
This is the game's race description, available via an encyclopedia which constantly unlocks new information cards about certain things in the game, ranging from heroes to units to buildings to environments, all explicating further on the much more simple descriptions seen in-game. These are all unlocked through various means, and the Uldenrai description is available as soon as the factions is played as in any battle, be it the story mode or a skirmish map, and is immediately available as soon as the player exits the battle, due to a victory, a death, or simply quitting out.DAKRANBased on
this hero idea.
"Though the Dragon God cannot enter the mortal plane normally, use the power of the Antediluvian Gem to summon the shade of the mightiest deity."
Encyclopedia Entry (EE): Dakran is the God of dragons, with an existential focus on power and control. He helps the loyal Uldenrai take over the land with enjoyment, as he can once more stretch his wings and be reminded of how immensely powerful he is. The Gem prevents his power from shattering reality by containing his might, reducing it to a shadow of his true self. However, as the Gem itself fails to summon a God at his full power nor make even the strongest of beings into Gods, the true virtue of the gem is questionable.
As is with all units, their entries are unlocked by getting them to level 10 in any battle. Dakran is the strongest God worshipped by the Uldenrai, and when they discovered that amongst the crystals they delivered to the Gods a stronger, more ancient gem, they all thought they could utilize it in a better way than the other crystals of power. The Antediluvian Gem, unable to be sent to the heavens due to it's power magnetizing it and binding it to Natsurka, holds an immense strength that both political parties of the Uldenrai fight over. One side seeks to make the most powerful Uldenran into a God to increase the power of their own army for further servitude and allow the Uldenran to achieve his dream of transcending into deification and bringing a greater prosperity to their race. However, the Gem was unable to fully do either of these things, leading to a further controversy over both the Gem and all other crystals, making the band of heretics within the Uldens rise in political power as the dispute manifests.Here are Dakran's stats, and you can compare them to other units' to see the attempt at balance in the game (Numbers are extremely high to avoid decimals):

Dakran has a very loud, echoing voice with a growl that persists with the echoes. He must speak a bit slowly to be coherent with his slow, deep echo. He, like all 4 of the heroes made by the Gem through their respective faction, says his first quote when spawned that all players can hear from anywhere on the battlefield, alerting them of the presence of the super weapon.
"Black Celebration!"
"Do I
scare you?"
"The end is nigh!"
"BOW to the Dragon God!"
"Face your fears before my shadow!"
"Is it because I'm black?" (Killed)
Val'nusBuilt upon from
this campaign's villain.
"The oldest and most powerful Uldenran will smite all in his way with his God-like control over reality."
EE: Val'nus is not the first of his kind and is immeasurably young compared to the original Uldenrai, lost to the aging of time. He has spent millennia seeking to as send into deific levels of power by focusing his mind on conceptualizing reality from every viewpoint and dimension at once that his mind can maintain. His superiority in nearly every way leaves him arrogant but with reason, as he is unstoppable at getting his way, possibly even so as he reaches closer and closer to the impossible deification.
Val'nus is the head of 1 of 3 main standpoints over the crystals, and of 1 of the 2 standpoints with massive political power. His group believes in using the crystal to ascend to Gods themselves, starting with Val'nus, so that they can no longer be servile to the original Gods. He constantly fights with Allar'n, who leads the other powerful viewpoint that the Gods are the ultimate authority and shouldn't be questioned. Both have their reasons, with Val'nus having his arrogance fuel his idea that the Gods are only so much more powerful and prolific than they, to the point where he thinks that he could become one and do a better job.Available from the Fortress by paying 5,000 R and waiting 5 minutes.

"The world is in my grasp."
"I dictate your existence!"
"I shall not be silenced!!" (Death)
Allar'n"The chosen of Rhios to lead the Uldenrai Army to the bloody, sacred victory the Gods demanded."
Allar'n become legendary when, on a hunt for crystals in another continent, a terrible storm of magic assailed him from the skies. He barely survived, with only one arm still intact from the encounter. When he arrived back with the rest of his Ulden comrades, they noticed his armor and sword were broken in ways that formed spikes, symbols of Rhios, and that his upper right arm remained, which was symbolically the arm of war. This deemed him to be the chosen warrior of the War and Strength God, and since then he has been the top general and voice of reason for all God-related affairs. He is the most religiously devoted of all the Uldenrai and plans to make a legacy as both the chosen warrior and the unrivaled greatest worshipper of the Gods of all time.
The opposite of Val'nus, Allar'n has a deeper respect for the Gods and views them as the ultimate beings that will always be that way. Throughout the story mode, their contrasting viewpoints make for multiple optional quests in each level leading to new dialogue exchanges revealing how radical their opinions are on the subject of the Gods. By the end, both leaders will see the truth behind the Gods and the Antediluvian Gem.Available by paying 3,000 R at the castle and waiting for 3m.

Ulden UnitsThere's a very meta concept for the soldiers of the Uldenrai. Most Ulden, as much as they worship the Gods, seek to become higher beings with similar capabilities to the Gods, for the purpose of, of course, serving them with better efficiency. In-game, you start off having pretty decent, balanced units with clear purposes, but later on can produce much stronger forces with greater effectiveness in battle. Your army can grow to incredible size with lots of variety, but to get more powerful units, a lot of resources are required to get them to their fullest strength. Just as the Uldenrai seek out more crystals for the Gods, the player will seek out more resources to create units of incredible power, which creates a very economy-based faction.
Ulden Enforcers"The main Ulden attack force equipped with spikes, symbolising the God of War and Strenght, Rhios."
EE: Almost all Uldenrai are devoted to the Gods. These soldiers care not for their own lives or the lives of those dependent on them of the Gods demand something risky. They patrol Ulden towns and keep the peace, enforcing the will of the Gods upon all. The Enforcers use sharp equipment that honours the god Rhios, hoping he will bless them with the strength to carry out the will of not just Rhios, but all the Gods.

Armour of Rhios
Spears and Shields of Rhios
Thoughts: These are the most basic units of the Uldenrai. Durable but not that good at dealing damage compared to some upcoming units, they make great soldiers against other troops in most situations. When in doubt, these units cans be built for the simple purpose of helping support a battle, and their different formations make them better with good micromanagement. Their average speed makes them vulnerable to archers, as they would lose some health before they could reach them, but against other units like cavalry who sacrifice attack power for speed, they can stand toe-to-toe with them and win in a fair scenario.
Ulden Slaughterers"Aggressive disciples of Rhios who take slay foes in the name of the War God."
EE: Some Uldenrai are born from special spires erected in honor of the Gods, and these Uldenrai have unique connections to those Gods under whom they were born. They are trained to master the ways of the specific God and to follow that God's logic above all others. The Slaughteres will do the most obscene things to please Rhios, their special God, and in times of war, most Ulden troops would do so. These soldiers happen to do so best.

* Brutal: Units attack with all blades once per second, dealing triple damage but with a 30% chance to cause heavy critical damage for a total of sextuple damage.
Daggers of Rhios: Increases base attack by 50 points. (Brutal damage is increased by 150 points, and critical damage is increased by 300 total. 60 R and 10s after purchasing Darkmetal Weapons at the God Forge.)
Armor of Rhios: Increases physical defence by 50 (Costs 60 R, 10s, and Darkmetal Armor at Godforge.)
Charms of Rhios: Increases the percentage chances of both stances by 20%. (Costs 90 R, 10s, and requires Divine Blessings at the Godforge.)
Armor is the same as Enforcer Armour when upgraded. Daggers have 3 spikes on each side when upgraded. Charms are stars with 8 spikes on a necklace chain.
Thoughts: These troops are statistically weaker than Ulden Enforcers, despite being the same price. Enforcers are generally the go-to units for just a little more attack power, but Slaughterers are best sent into battle against heroes or other powerful single targets. The reason why is that against units who tend to one-hit kill Enforcers would also one shot Slaughterers, but the Slaughterers would be able to get in more damage before being slain. On top of this, they also are less easily countered by archers, as they can deflect ranged attacks as they make their way toward the archers.
Ulden Snipers"Enforcers equipped to hunting kill the defiers of the Gods without mercy."
EE: When the heretics become too rowdy, the Enforcers are sent to silence them. Snipers are prepared to slay such blasphemers like animals, and see this strict enforcement of the law as great respect for the Gods rather than disrespect for the citizens. The Uldenrai have lived under the same rules for the centuries they have lived, and most would rather further study and obey the reality of the Gods rather than ponder other possibilities.

Bows of Rhios
Armour is the same as the Enforcer's upgraded armour, and arrows are too small to have a graphical change.
Thoughts: Statistically, the Snipers are again weaker than Ulden Enforcers (and even Slaughterers), but their ability to shoot targets without having to engage in melee gives them a higher likelihood to win against melee troops. Thus, only when their range is taken advantage of can they be fully effective. Since this is a pretty easy thing to do, the units are more expensive than regular melee soldiers, but only slightly so. The range is easily countered by units who are both durable and fast enough to make it close to them in good enough condition to slay them.
Ulden Impalers"Elite troops equipped with spears to deal massive damage."
EE: These soldiers take from the old techniques of hunting beasts for food using heavily damaging spears, which is still a necessity for taking down large beasts. The Gods claim that the Uldenrai were primitive savages until they blessed the original Ulden people will the intelligence to produce better weapons and communicate. It is seen as a great gift, for it requires trust from the Gods that thnUldenrai will not use their higher intellect to rebel against them. The Impalers will hunt with the old methods until the gift of thought from the Gods enables them to invent a more efficient method of brutally killing heavy beasts.

Armour of Rhios: Increases Physical resistance by 50. (90 R and 10s with DMA at the Godforge.)
Thoughts: Slaughterers are to Enforcers what Impalers are to Snipers. These have a better DPS, but aren't automatically better. Firstly, they will leave many types of units with very low health after a hit or 2, overkilling them and ruining their otherwise superior DPS. Thus, they are best saved for late game situations, when you have strong, tanky units to distract enemies until the Impalers get into range to quickly deal massive damage to an enemy hero or structures. Dual Spears can be switched to when not in combat to allow them to simply deal more damage, and switch back to normal spear throwing to avoid the slow wait between each extremely powerful attack. They also have, unlike other Ulden infantry, only 2 upgrades rather than 3, to avoid making them so strong that they can kill any powerful unit that gets into range.
Ulden Galvanizer"A veteran who blows the horn of war to rally armies for intense battle."
EE: The Galvanizers bear older versions of battle armor, that only is worn by veterans such as themselves or the Slaughterers who have no need of heavier protection weighing them down. Their horns are decorated with slash marks, intentionally placed there to symbolise endurance and tenacity. All Ulden forces cheer with belligerent fury at the booming sound of a Galvanizer's horn, fuelling their desire to crush all who stand between them and servitude of the Gods. Blood will spill for the beloved Rhios.

For blood! For death! For honour! For the families at home and the Gods in the heavens, we will lay waste to the enemy!"
*Draws sword from baldric, activating another cheer*
"CHARGE!!!"
Thoughts: These are late game units designed to accompany other troops in battle. Their cost effectiveness is poor compared to other infantry, but when accompanied by other units to buff with their powers, it easily breaks even and can make an army unstoppable. Plus, they are harder to kill than a single unit from a battalion, meaning that the entire unit doesn't lose any damage power because there aren't any troops to be lost from a one-man battalion. The range of the horn is massive, and crates a loud, deep aound in 2 tones that each last for 2 seconds, with the second, deeper tone causing units to cheer. Upgrading it creates a third, deeper tone with all 3 tones lasting for 1 second each. An ideal situation is one where a larg army is gathered outside of the enemy base or in front of another army, and a Galvanizer blows the horn, signalling the start of a huge scale conflict. Multiple Galvanizers can't stack their powers, but one horn blow and one speech can stack for what's already an overkill of stat boosts.
Higher UldenraiThough not a specific unit, this is an upgrade that only applies to infantry units. Sending in Galvanisers, Impalers, Snipers, Slaughterers, or Enforcers to the Evolution Sepulchre, which is a building that trades resources for XP, levelling up units inside. Sending fully upgraded Lvl 5 infantry to a Lvl 3 E.S. gives the option of evolving them into Higher Uldenrai, with increased power.
Enforcer variant. All Ulden troops get the same armor and larger, stronger, evolved bodies and heads. Impalers keep the same spears, Snipers get unique bows, Slaughterers have special daggers, and Enforcers get those special shields from the picture. Galvanizers keep the same weaponry, but larger.

Ulden Assailants"Fast but disciplined beasts whose masters charge them into battle with aggressive enthusiasm."
EE: Aggression and eggression were the key traits of the Berens, the perfect breed for war. As always, these creatures were sent down by the Gods, who are believed to infuse them with the same passion of an Ulden warrior. This passion lacks focus, however, as Berens are known to attack fellow Ulden masters, making them enemies as quickly as they can befriend an Uldenran.

Unleash: Releases Beren from your control, making them permanently hostile to everyone but also increasing their speed, health, and damage by 50%. (Won't attack other Berens)
Thoughts: Cavalry are meant to counter archers, who rely on distance to kill. These units will rush straight toward archers with a trample mechanic that halves their speed for a second for each enemy they trample, which can be up to 3 until they stop moving for a second. Wild Charge makes them slower for 2 seconds and stops them just as long. They hit hard but attack slowly, so melee units who are tough enough to survive the initial trample will have the advantage over them anyways, hitting with better DPS and with more health, effectively countering the anti-archers. Most cavalry in the game stop there, but because the Uldenrai are intuitive with their technology, they make use of the beasts in other ways. With upgrades, you can mount an extra unit in the Beren, making them a transport unit, as well as adding baldrics to increase their combat damage. Players can also use the Evolution Spire to level up the Berens to 5, then send a good army of them into the enemy base to use Unleash, letting them wreak havoc as you build a new army with the freed up command points.
