Kalran: Tales of the four nations

Alcradia: Sagas of battle is an rts made by ssbob90, based on their idea of a story called Alcradia: Saga of stone and steel. Set in the continent of Alcradia it follows the stories of six factions in the eighth age. The flexible United Columbia Alliance (UCA). guerilla fighting Navaheim. Tower defense like Kevros Federation. rapid assault forces of the Rokhari. The unending swarm of the Reclaimers. And the elite Aegis Defense Force (ADF).

Background
Our story takes place on Kalran, a planet with three moons and two suns, and four continents. But for this game we only focus on one.

Alcradia, which lies in the west, is a nation spilt by the fall of the fomorian empire in the 3rd age, by the Reclaimers. To the west lies the UCA, a superpower nation where ruled by the Fenrirs and their allies of Harpy, Goliath and Skarnops. To the east lay the Navaheims, which are lacking in technology, using bronze weapons when everyone uses steel, but compensates in stronger affinity for magic, particulary wind. The north lies Kevros federation, where pockets of Humans live in vaults beneath the mountains, masters of ai and laser technology but suffers from severely low birthrates. And at the centre lays the frontier, once the shining beacon of the fomorian empire. It has been reduced to ruin by hyperion bombardments, leaving scars of fallout that hangs at all but the outer edge and rifts that demons can go through. Where the only ones brave enough to still live there willingly are the Rokhari, nomadic warriors who are brave, or stupid depending on who you ask, enough to ride seraphons, giant lizards which are the only cavalry in this nation. And in the frontiers centre, where the old capital lies, the Reclaimers live underground, churning out thousand of clones each day so that they may one day retake the UCA.

Gameplay
In Alcradia: Sagas of battle is a science-fantasy rts, a fusion of command and conquer and company of heroes, featuring six factions with six different playstyle each with five unique commanders.


 * Classic: focus on enhancing their faction strength
 * Airforce: focus on fast and deadly but fragile airforce
 * Defence: focus on defense and siege
 * Infantry: focus on versatile but fragile infantry and unorthodox tactics
 * Armor: focus on armor assault and straight on attack

In battle there are two different resources the player must manage.
 * Supply: must be mined and refined. With patches of it around the map
 * Minerals: can only be produce by pumps that must be captures. Also forms a supply line. Required to build high tier units and upgrades

Mechanics
Morale: When infantry and vehicles suffers heavy damage in short amount of time, heavy suppression, heavy artillery, or terror weapon like toxins and fire their morale will take damage. And will suffer heavy debuffs to their damage, range, and suppression resistance but increase speed and defense once it's depleted. And if infantry morale stays deplete for too long, or suffer heavy morale damage like a bombardment, they will retreat off the map.

Suppression: When medium or light infantry are hit by a machine gun, rapid artillery bombardment, or a sniper, they will go into a suppressed state. Lowering the speed of medium infantry and immobilizing light infantry but briefly increases their defense, especially if in cover, slowly loses morale, and deal reduced damage. And if suppressed for a few ore seconds will become pinned, fully immobilizing infantry and briefly grant a large buff to defense but will take more damage afterwards and can't attack. Heavy infantry are immune to suppression effect but will take more damage and heavy artillery strikes will stun them.

Factions

 * United Columbia Alliance: Formed by the Fenrir remnants after the destruction of their old capital in the third age. They have risen up to the superpower of Alcradia in the modern time. The UCA are a flexible force of elite soldiers and airforce. Consisting of the Fenrirs and their allies of the Harpies, Skarnops, and Goliaths
 * Navaheim Tribes: Having escaped the hyperion bombing by the fleeing east. The Navaheim, the race closest to nature and magic, were forced to witness half the forest they had protected reduced to cinders, followed by the fallout. Since then they rebuilt and are now known as fearsome guerilla fighters
 * Kevros federation: When the hyperion fired the Humans had quickly hunkered down in the mountain vaults and survived. But despite surviving the blast the fallout had rendered many of them near infertile. With this revelation, and the fear of losing their bloodline memories when they die without children, they began focusing on ai. Becoming known as hardy mountain folks. Defending their homes with advance lasers and missile. While swarms of androids pushes forth with the support of mech pilots
 * Rokhari riders: When the hyperion came all the races had fled from the blast, following the rift that let the demons through and infest the frontier, all but the nomadic Rokhari. Who stubbornly stand by their only city Khan'toruk. Their lifestyle having made them hardy warriors who moves upon their giant walker base as riders and officer surge forth like an avalanche. Shattering foes who cower behind walls
 * Reclaimers: No one knows how the Reclaimers came to be, only that they surfaced in the 3rd age. But they are known as a monster who will stop at nothing to destroy Alcradia and are known as a army of million. Sending out millions of clones to die for a cause they don't know, fed honeyed lies of glory and heroics if they die for them but they'll be lucky if their names were mentioned in a footnote. As the true believers, mainly survivors in the frontier, destroys their targets.
 * Aegis Defense Force: A secret task force formed to fight the reclaimers. the ADF are the elite force of the UCA. Armed with the most advance weapons and equipment they will always be outnumbered but through equipment and teamwork they can surmount anything.

DLC

 * An age long gone: In this DLC we see the origin of the Reclaimers. Who once, under their pacifistic leader Doss, fought against a corrupted Fomorian empire, under it's leader and Doss former friend Mina, through hearts and mind and non-lethal weaponry. But slowly fell deeper into his inner demons and become the monster had swore to destroy, or would it be different this time? This DLC will introduce two new faction, the Reclaimer revolutionaries and the Fomorian empire, whose tech trees split midway, where the revolutionaries fall prey to violence and become the villain of the 8th age, or will they stand stalwart in the pacifist ideals. And will the empire realize their mistakes and begin atoning or stand firm in their belief it's their right to conquer the nations
