Kalran: Tales of the four nations

"He or she will controls the world, commands the ages. He or she commands the world, conquers the ages..."

- -An excerpt of a unknown deity of Kalran. Rumoured to either be its creator or the twins.

Kalran: Tales of the four nations is an science fantasy rts made by ssbob90 with additional contributions by Skyrish19. Set in the planet Kalran it follows the stories of four continents in the eighth age.

Background
Our story takes place on Kalran, a planet with three moons, two suns, and four continents.

From the beginning a creator, known by many names, created Kalran, which had two stars of light and dark acting as sun and moon, with the five elements, earth, wind, fire, water, and aether, before leaving his children, twins of light and dark whose name were forgotten, to oversee the development while he leaves to create other worlds, one of which is our earth. And during this period, known as the age of the avatars, the twins created the avatars, masters of the five elements and the precursors, and other animals and plants on the planet. During this time the world was in great harmony and peace. But later on the twins began to drift and argue, the god of light wanting to eternally bath Kalran in light while the goddess of dark wants to cover Kalran in eternal night, and started with the first and final clash. They were equal, unable to wound each other but shaving off bits of their power, but as their weapons clashed the planet shook, causing great earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and igniting heat waves that destroyed cities and damaged the planet they were told to protect, until the pieces began to form a new god.

Ragnarok. And when he was created he was confused, unintentionally created by the twins anger, but when he tried to stop the fighting he was struck, scarred twice, and from it he realised something.

That Kalran wasn't perfect and needed to be remade. And he began to destroy it. The twins then stopped, upon realising what they done, and rushed to stop him. But their constant fighting had weakened them and both could barely stall him. When the avatars, upon sensing the battle and seeing the destruction of their world, sacrificed themselves by pouring in their essence to power the twins. And with renewed might the twins pushed back Ragnarok, yet they couldn't beat him, and imprisoned him in the core of Kalran. But afterwards they realised the cost of the power. All the avatars souls were ripped asunder as they gave all of their essence. And the twins quickly try to repair them. Yet, with their weakened state, they couldn't fully revive them. Instead they gather whats left and made the firstborn. Four races that each embodied water, earth, wind, and fire, with aether divided between them. And afterwards, in grief of what their argument had caused and in failing to follow their oath to protect and lead Kalran, they left. Using what little power they can give to make four deity, gods of water and earth and goddesses of wind and fire, to overlook the new Kalran.

In the new age the Firstborn briefly prospered, under the guidance of their deities, but then disasters came. Small earthquakes began to shook Kalran while tsunamis struck coasts. And the animals, once docile and willing to die for the avatars and firstborn for their sustenance, began attacking and killing. And when the deities investigate they found a trapped god, Ragnarok, causing it and demand an explanation. And Ragnarok told them the truth. On how he was imprisoned because he wanted to change Kalran with the disasters being a way to call them. And ask to be released and help them shape Kalran. But the deities refused to release him, the twins having told them to never get help from others, in which Ragnarok told them to at least release him so that he could create his own planet. And the deities agreed. But Ragnarok lied. And upon released he attacked them, weakening them, and destroy Kalran. The deities quickly try to stop him. But he was too powerful as he was made from the pieces of the twins rather then the remnant, and in the end the Firstborn had to give their essence to help. And with the power the deities imprisoned Ragnarok again. But the transfer was irreversible and the Firstborn lost some of their power. With the Firstborn of water becoming human, having given the most essence and therefore losing their immortality and elemental control as the body of ice became skin and organs.

Afterwards the deities continued but arguments began flaring, the goddess of wind wanting more forest, the god of earth wanting mountains filled with ores of gold to iron, the goddess of fire wanted more harsher lands so that the Firstborn can defend themselves, and the god of water wanting more control as his people sacrificed the most, and the general argument of who freed Ragnarok. And, like before, the four fought. And like their creators before they were equal and locked in a stalemate, they clashes created disaster. But four times did their weapons struck at once. And four times Kalran split, forming four continents, upon which they finally heard the pleas of their people and realized what they have done. And in the end the four, in grief of their failure, used all their power to reinforce Ragnarok prisons and leave the Firstborn to their devices. And in the north lays Arkalion, to the west Alcradia, east Axio, and the south Askrian.

In this new age life continued, even though the Firstborn had to work without their gods guide. But one day a broken woman came, her name Lucia, who then heard a strange voice in her head that told her he could repair her life and give more. But only if she frees him and she agrees. The voice being Ragnarok. And she began to make a new church and amass followers, on the codes to free him and bring new creations. And bringing destruction as they make the ritual to break the seal while killing non-believers for the blood they need. But one man, Elomir, had disagreed with her and gained followers. And afterwards they fought. And the first war, of Firstborn killing Firstborn, began, with the making of the first weapons of glass spears and stone warhammers. And through Elomir strength he beats Lucia forces back. And Lucia calls Ragnarok for help. And he answered. Ragnarok then gave Lucia and her followers a piece of his power. And with it, they became the first Devils and turned the tide. But even so Elomir and his loyal followers stood strong and fought. When he suddenly hears a strange voice, no one knows if it's the creator or something else, that helped him. As the other followers who ran then gave their essence to help to him and his loyal soldiers and the strange voice gave him the remaining powers of the deities that left. Forming the first angels. And now with their power equaled another stalemate came. Until they struck too hard and destroyed the stars of light and dark.

And with horror Kalran began to die, slowly crumbling to ashes, and both sides then put a truce to repair the stars. But in the end they couldn't fully repair it, both having been made by the creator, and instead crafted two suns, both of which are two systems with Kalran revolving on the bigger one, and three moons, a white one with two smaller red and blue moons orbiting it, and saved Kalran. Upon which both of them then make a new dimension for themselves. Heaven and Hell. And afterward Elomir and Lucia signed a contract, the covenant, which means that both sides are forbidden to interact with Kalran, including releasing Ragnarok, and not fight, unless one breaks the previous rule. But their mark still echoes till today. As the other three Firstborn gave all their essence till they became mortal like humans. But evolve differently in each continent.

After the war the new deities began to oversee Kalran. During this time one deity wanted to make their own people, but it was never done before, and secretly made one behind heaven and the Firstborn pantheon gaze.

No one knew who created the fifth race, whether it started from Arkalion or Axio or if it was the Harpy in Alcradia or the Kolbolds of Askrian, but the fifth race was born. And yet they were like dolls, unable to think and only having basic emotions without their creator's order for they lack the fire of life the Firstborns have. The other deities, who were not of the Firstborn pantheon, began to argue, some outrage at such travesty, others envious of such bravery, and others more following in making a new race. And with it the Elomir saw and reprimanded the deity, outraged at disobeying his order, and demand that they destroy it. The deity obliged, crying at how they just wanted people which shared their passion yet understand thet they were breaking the rules, and readied to bring the killing blow. But when Elomir saw the look of the deities face, stricken with grief, and their children, cowering in fear or begging their creator not to do it, he realized that both sides loved each other and stopped the killing blow. Elomir, touched at such passion the deity put into his creation, then passed them the fire of life, but ordered them that they should only wake after a set amount of years pass. And the deity obliged, teary-eyed at such compassion. Elomir then told the others that they could make their own race. But they have a time limit when passed would ban the creation of new races. And so five more were made for a total of twenty-four Secondborn, six in each continent, which came into the second age.

During this time Lucia began to abuse the loopholes. She first created the demons, as the law states that no Devils are allowed to directly interfere or make a creature as strong or stronger than them, which lacked in power, weaker than all the races, but made up in numbers. Then the Daemons were made, upon finding that ingesting devils blood will make the drinker more powerful with only needing the blood as sustenance, at the cost that their body will decompose, as they are biologically dead, if they go without drinking it and, combine with its addictive property, make them loyal servants to complete their job. But then, now emboldened by such power, she invaded heaven. But it failed, the Angels having trained during that period and empowered by prayers, where at the last moment, with Elomir ready to deliver the killing blow, Lucia makes a deal. They will make eight weapons and in turn she will stay in hell. And, against his will, Elomir agreed, as the covenant says that they can't kill surrendering opponents, and the eight cardinal weapons were forged. And afterwards, he made two new laws. To show no mercy to the devil and servants of hell. And that the covenant can never be rewritten, as a safety to prevent the devils from changing the rule. Later on he regretted making the second rule.

(rest of lore be put at some point)

To the north lays Arkalion, a nation where the shadow of war looms, with hordes of demon and daemons in the south, their kingdom in the old south capital Salhaim, only contained by the citadel city of Byzalem.

To the west lays Alcradia, a pangaea split apart by the fall of the old Tuatha empire, with the east being a frontier, where monsters, beast, and demons roam, and beneath that wasteland are the Reclaimers, who desires to reforge the world through blood and ash with only the Aegis Defense Force task force slowing them.

To the east lays Axio, an archipelagos where the north is under the rule of the Ouroboros goverment, but in the south comes rumor's of a resistance call the Tenkos.

And to the south comes Askrian, a great desert where few truly safe havens exist, each guarded by magical pillars, with nearly the whole desert inhabited by wandering demons and the Cult of Asura, who are hellbent on covering the world in blight, with the Reclamation guilds working to make new havens and stop the cult.

In each nations magic exist in arcane, using chi, and divine, using mana, that uses the four elements, earth, wind, fire, and water, and four races, in each nation, known as the firstborn, blessed by one of the elements.

Gameplay
In Kalran: Tales of the four nations is a science-fantasy rts, a fusion of command and conquer, company of heroes, 8-bit armies/horde/invaders, dawn of war 1/2/3, ground control, starcraft 1/2, warcraft 1/2/3, and act of aggression/war with elements from Age of empires, anomaly: warzone earth, supreme commander, and kingdom rush. in that the player must invade a territory, construct a defensive base, acquire resources, build various combat, defensive and support units, and defeat enemies and take control the territory by and defend the territory from the enemy invaders. Various unit types can be trained, ranging from infantry to vehicles, aircraft and naval vessels. The player may control a total of 24 factions, six in each continent, each with five unique commanders, a total of 120 sub-commanders, each side has its unique characteristics and abilities.

Base building is depended on the faction you play as (The waterborn uses an base building mechanics through a builder unit similar to the one in Command & Conquer: Generals and the earthborn uses a Construction Yard like those from Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 and Tiberian Dawn)

There are to be multiple resources each faction relies on to sustain their game economies and to build up their forces: deposits of supplies, fuel, and minerals are scattered across the map, and requires scout units to find. Banks and prisoners of war can be captured for a supplementary source of income, and in some cases power up a protocol.

Commanders
Similar to c&c generals, Kane's wrath, and company of heroes. At the start of a round the player must pick one of five commanders of their faction, each providing a passive and active ability, two tech trees, exclusive units and protocols, and, most of all, their epic unit.

Said commanders are simplified into:


 * Classic (exaggerator): Focus on enhancing their faction strength
 * Airforce (cannons): Focus on fast using airforce to to attack or empower ground forces
 * Defense (balanced): Focus on defense and siege
 * Infantry (subversive): Focus on infantry and unorthodox tactics
 * Armor (powerhouse): Focus on armor assault and straight on attack
 * Naval: Introduced in The Clash at Sea DLC. These commanders focuses on naval and amphibious units/assaults

Controls
See here

POW
Once the appropriate upgrade is researched all basic infantry, and possibly other infantry, will now have a chance for their attacks to now cause the targeted infantry to surrender, or enter stasis mode in the case of androids and undead, instead of dying, with exception to the Horde, Reclaimers, Ouroboros, and Asura which instead knocks the infantry unconscious, after which they can be apprehended to power a special protocol or ability.

Protocol
Protocols are special abilities used by each faction and are split in four forms, national power, tech, structure, and commander.

The first are national power, a powerful protocol that represents the main power of each faction that can easily turn the tide of battle when used but is incredibly expensive, must be researched, and has a long cooldown between use.

The second are tech protocols, a tech tree forming the basic of each factions and useable by all faction commander which are unlocked as the game progresses, each building off their factions playstyle.

The third are structure protocols, which as implied only comes by building a structure and will be lost if said structure falls and provides support powers to aid their forces.

And the last are commander protocols, a combination of the first and second with tech tree which abilities can only be unlocked points earned in battle or a commander exclusive units/structures.

Each protocol are suited for the factions and commanders and can turn the tide of battle, from summoning special units to bombardment powers, that can be upgraded as the game progresses. But each of them have a cooldown and/or cost resources.

Superweapons
Many real-time strategy games employ a superweapon or tactical weapon, a very powerful, near if not limitless range, endgame weapon with large technological requirements and high costs. Popular examples of superweapons are the nuke and iron curtain from Command & Conquer and the nuclear missile from StarCraft.

In Kalran: Tales of the four nations, superweapons or tactical weapons are split between offensive, used to simple destroy the target, and support, built to support their forces and charges faster, can be technologically unlocked at the third or highest tier, and require high costs and amounts of funds.

Damage and armor types
Kalran: Tales of the four nations uses a simple equation with special tags

Tech Buildings
Like with the Command and Conquer games, Kalran: Tales of the Four nations also has neutral tech buildings that can be captured to gain new abilities or units that are not part of the main factions.

Tier system
As the battle goes the commander will have to tech up their bases to unlock more advance units, upgrades, and protocols to beat their opponents.

There are a total of three tiers each factions have a unique method for access to advanced units, structures, or upgrades, depending on their type:

Experience
As the battle goes on experience the commander units will gain experience, passively in small trickles and by their units killing enemies and taking damage. Experience is mainly used to purchase protocol but is also used to upgrade their units into veterans, depending on the faction.

Earthborn (Dwarves, Fenrir, Xiagui, Goliath), ADF, and Ouroboros: Individual units gains a rank as they gain experience, buffing their stats while granting them special bonuses. But ranks are given per individual, meaning its a long process to level every base unit to a veteran, and if a veteran unit dies they take that veterancy with them

Waterborn (Humans), Byzalem, and Asura: Only officer units gains veterancy, and any experience a unit gains will be transferred to the nearest officer. Said officer in turn grants an aura, territorial, or global buff to units and unlocks special passives. But officer units are more expensive then other units and, while produced instantly, are locked behind cooldown. Meaning that its hard to mass multiple officer units

Fireborn (Orcs, Rokhari, Salamander, Mukasura), Guilds, and Horde: Veterancy is purchased through their hq, costing both resources and experience, which is then applied to all new and existing units

Windborn (Elves, Navaheim, Nekomata, Faunus), Tenko, and Reclaimers: Their units can't gain veterency. Instead experience is used to purchase powerful upgrades, which cost a lot of experience but are done instantly, more powerful units, and to unlock and use more powerful protocols

Epic Units
An epic unit is defined as an incredibly powerful unit, often taking a long time to produce but can engage and defeat entire armies of ordinary units. They usually make use of experimental and/or classified technology, hence their considerable price and the need for the commander to reach rank 4 to be produced, along with the fact that only one epic unit can be made at a given time.

Silly mode
This setting gives units additional dialogues that are either references, memes, and or jokes that breaks immersion. Particularly when clicking a unit multiple times.
