More about the game
Players may find this game similar to WC 3 and SC but to think about it there are many different gameplay that other RTS doesn't have. Examples are the new One-Click-Research-System (OCR System) and Army Specialization (AS). I will first explain the OCR System, it simply caused a fast duration of research and upgrades so that you don't have to wait too long, its a very simple feature in the game but very useful. Another feature is the Army Specialization, each player is provided with 8 specializations, you may pick ONLY one and you cannot undo it, once you chose a specialization your Strategy Tower will upgrade, notice that OCR System is not apply when building and upgrading structures. After a duration of time, your new Strategy Tower possess a new global abilities as well as Specialization Boost, it provides a small bonus in your army depending on what specialization you chose, and it will provides you a new unit for your army which can be located on a designated production structure. And last thing to know that when you lost your Strategy Tower you lost all boost, global abilities, and it will also unable you to create new units, so keep your Strategy Tower alive and healthy. You can create many strategies in this game, so take your time to familiarize your self with the controls, there is always a dummy A.I. to practice with or you can always open the editor to tinker the map.

Playable Factions

• Peacekeepers
• Sons of Jil'neah
• Crimson Sigma
• Fallen Star

List of Tips:
1.) Defense Emplacement can also serve as walls for your base.
2.) Keep your Strategy Tower alive because it will provide you different specialization which can give you new units and special action skills. Theres no replacement when it is destroyed.
3.) Always protect your wingman! You too can gain advantage from his/her Strategy Tower.
4.) Each different specialization provides new units, try different tactical combos of actions skills.
5.) Matriarchs has doubled almost everything which means double the loot of crystals.
6.) Research and upgrades only take 1 or 3 second/s, this may not allow you to cancel it so think twice if you're going to research or upgrade
7.) In order to gain access to a new Crystal Cluster you must destroy infestation sack. ( Be warned that infestation sack are ALWAYS protected by Wretches )
8.) Its not build all unit classes, try building an army that can are relate to your specialization.
9.) All units have their own PROS and CONS, try learning them.
10.) Like the traditional WC 3 day and night system, in this game it also affect units' performances and sight vision.
11.) Buildings has a stable sight vision.
12.) If a building is under construction and you decide to cancel it, its okay, you will get the exact money back.
13.) Like most RTS, always scout. Pumas, Badgers and Charmers are excellent for scouting.
14.) Perrienal Bisons are extremely tough to kill.
15.) Any aerial units are no matched against the Hedgehogs.
16.) Keep your eyes out for Skullborbs, they are more annoying than they look.

Timeline:

Haven Wars:
The Haven Wars are fought by different underground factions/races, their primary goal is to rule the Underground Haven, numerous bloody battles were made but in the end. Wretches won the war, their domination were successful within 2 years only, they lead the Zal'gons to extinction and they enslaved the Black Widows, in the present Jil'neah, they serve as the aerial attacker for the Wretches. After the Wretches ruled the Underground Haven, Daggoth channels a mass Arcane energies that they gain from the crystals, the purpose of the channeling is to raise other clusters that are located deeper in the Haven. This resulted a success for the Wretches but this also cause other cluster to raised up to the surface of Jil'neah. This mark the Crystal Rush Era for the humans (see Megawealth Era)

Megawealth Era:
The first emergence of crystal clusters throughout the planet Jil'neah heightens the greed among the people who dwells in the planet. People were divided to find themselves these precious crystals, as a result.
A group of people established the the first faction known as Peacekeepers, they sworn to maintain peace and balance in the planet, but they took control Jil'neah and its people. After 1 year, people suffer from oppression of the Peacekeepers. Because of the abusive acts of the Peacekeepers, a rebellion called themselves the Sons of Jil'neah was established and they sworn to overthrow the Peacekeepers, they gained and stole Peacekeeper hightech weaponry to win the war between freedom and oppression.

Arcane Wars:
20 years of endless war between the two factions resulted the new discovery of Arcane energy. These energies can be channel from Blood Crystals. This discovery founded by a female scientist, she discovered that arcane energies are capable of creating new weapon arsenals as well as gives new combat specialization for soldiers. She began teaching arcane arts and created a new union for Arcane mages. It didn't took long, the Peacekeepers feared Arcane mages might fight for the rebellion that could be one of the best reasons to lose the war. So the made a solution, they threatened all arcane mages that they will slaughter them if they don't fight for the Peacekeepers. 2 months later, a small group of Peacekeepers defected and they established their own faction called Crimson Sigma since they disapprove on what the Peacekeepers doing, they protected the arcane fugitives during the Arcane Wars. It resulted another faction to participate the war, the Peacekeeper continued to end the war against the Sons of Jil'neah and the Crimson Sigma.

Rise of the Fallen Star:
It didn't took long, an infamous group was conducting inhumane experiments on both humans and animals. Since the 3 factions were killing each other, they send out different recon teams to infiltrate Peacekeepers', Sons of Jilneahs', and Crimson Sigmas' facility to gain new technology, but they found more than they need they found different top secret weapons, documents, and arcane relics that may prove very useful. As they steal these technology, they started to create a new faction called the Fallen Star, their participation has a great impact in the war which leaded to the current Faction Wars.

Faction Wars/Present Jil'neah:
Now the 4 faction clash into an endless, its up to you to choose side. Would you join the Peacekeepers, Sons of Jil'neah, Fallen Star, or the Crimson Sigma. Each different faction has different idealogies but only one will win the war. The fate of Jil'neah lies in your hands.

Underground Races:

Wretches - are the most dominant race in the Underground Haven. Their army of insect warriors is lead by Daggoth itself, an overgrowing brain-like creature, its lust for Arcane energies and flesh started the domination among other underground races, their domination is to consume everything on its path and to establish infestation nerves. Their domination were successful within 2 years only, they lead the Zal'gons to extinction and they enslaved the Black Widows, in the present Jil'neah, they serve as the aerial attacker for the Wretches. After the Wretches ruled the Underground Haven, Daggoth channels the Arcane energies that they gain from the crystal clusters, the purpose of the channeling is to raise other clusters that are located deeper in the Haven. This resulted a radical success for the Wretches but this also cause other clusters to raised up to the surface of Jil'neah. This mark the Crystal Rush Era for the humans (see Crystal Rush Era). After 6 months, the Wretches discovered the surface of Jil'neah. Daggoth send out his initial teams to the surface in order know what is the current condition of humanity. They learned that humanity is killing each other for the exact same purpose; to get direct possession of Crystal Clusters. Daggoth was patient, it is just waiting for the perfect moment to consume the surface.

Characteristics: Wretches are savage and genocidal creatures, Wretches are fast reproducing and growing species, each warrior carries a few amount of crystals in order for them to regenerate their health. Female Wretches are called Matriarchs, Matriarchs are more stronger than males they are capable secreting substance that may cause a cluster to be infested, players cannot gather from an infested cluster, it also creates a nervous connection with Daggoth, allowing it to gain the Arcane Energies from the crystals. Wretches feast upon other races including humans. Daggoth is a powerful arcane user that can twist the mind of the lesser beings and it is also said that it is immortal, like arcane users it can shoot unstable arcane energies.

Zal'gons - are big beetle-like creatures, their race also fought during the Haven War but they lost and they were lead into genocide by the Wretches.

Characteristics: Zal'gons are prideful and resistant creatures, their resistant mind isn't effected by the mind twisting of Daggoth, since Wretches has no use for prisoners they slaughter them all leaving nothing including the smallest grub. Unlike the Wretches, they are slow reproducing races, female zal'gons usually stays in their hive waiting for a mate and they rely protection from males. zal'gon grubs grow very slow; 8 human years is only equivalent to 1 zal'gon year, they only feed upon Perrenial Bison.

Black Widows - are flying webbed women that also fought during the Haven Wars but they lost and enslaved by the Wretches.

Characteristics: Widows are swift creatures, they are capable flying around unlike the Zal'gons and Wretches. Widows are unknowingly capable of reproducing among themselves and other species, even they are all women. They possessed weak minds twisted by Daggoth to serve the Wretches as a breeding tool to increase the population growth of their army and they also serve as flying unit during the Faction Wars.
