Dev Diary #15: New Warlords and the Unknown Regions; Every Planned Faction (PART TWO)
X1's Empire, Prentioch's Dominion, the Elrood Sector and the CIutric Hegemony... no warlord is too obscure for inclusion in the mod!
The existing roster of warlords is already very, very varied, but future releases on the road to v2.0 are going to add even more playable warlords. So new factions, and new micro-scale GCs to show bitter grudge campaigns between tiny fiefdoms ruled by pompous Moffs, with the chance to play as a truly tiny warlord kingdom on a full-scale galactic map and see if you can climb the ladder of chaos and survive, or even thrive…
Imperial Warlords
Ciutric Hegemony
[Currently non-playable.] Admiral Delak Krennel is already in the game, appearing at the end of the Thrawn campaign if the Grand Admiral is defeated. Ciutric will have a conventional Imperial roster, with the added benefit of TIE Defenders to defend its small borders.
X1's Empire
[Planned.] This will be a truly unique gameplay experience, with a massive infusion of Separatist tech for a 50/50 Imperial/ex-CIS roster. You’ll get to use IG-100 MagnaGuards, B2 Super Battle Droids, and elite Imperial infantry like Royal Guards. To say nothing of X1 himself, and the weirder units in his control like deranged Wookiee clones.
Eriadu Authority
[In-game.] Delvardus’ warlord faction is canonically wiped out early on, but in future versions of Age Of Legends you will have the chance to play through massive era progressive campaigns; there’s every chance Delvardus can become emperor, and find his regime threatened by the Ssi-ruuvi to the east, the Yevetha in the Core, and the Yuuzhan Vong from the north.
Zsinj's Empire
[In-game.] Zsinj begins as an Imperial faction, but as his forces are attrited he relies on hired mercenary and pirate forces. He also gains the iconic TIE Raptor, and a range of elite Raptor troopers.
Prentioch's Dominion
[Planned.] Ruled by Moff Utoxx Prentioch, the Dominion pursues an aggressive policy of expansion despite its small size, and relies on bounty hunters, criminals, pirates and other scum to fill his ranks.
Maw Irregular Fleet
[In-game.] The strangest Imperial faction in the mod so far, this line-up of TIE Experimentals, Venators and Mandalorian mercenaries is a unique gameplay experience. Future releases will include many new opportunities to play as this faction, arguably the last extant Imperial warlord group - active beyond the Vong War.
Elrood Sector
[Planned.] A tiny warlord fiefdom under the control of Moff Villis Andal, the Elrood Sector Fleet is built around…
