First Faction: Confederate Domain

A refinement of the Confederate of the Steppe from the beta test. This is a faction based on the idea of using ranged weapons to decimate enemies well before they get close in. Sort of a combined arms sort of faction.

Base cost 23

Regulars cost 26

Most soldiers start out as a regular in some shape or form. In battle, these troops are expended to fire volley after volley from their position onto the enemy. Rifles and bayonets are preferred, giving the Regular an effective mix of ranged attack and close quarters defense. Some enterprising units carry sidearms in addition to their main weapon increasing fire output at the cost of range and reload time.

Regulars that have shown aptitude for close combat are inducted into the Shocktroopers. Issued body armor, these units are expected to march up to the enemy and storm positions.

More defensive minded, or blood thirsty squads will carry a rifle and bayonet for the added range and close combat capability.

Winged Hussars cost 67

Shocktroopers that show aptitude for movement tend to be inducted into the Hussars. Here, they are given training in the art of mounted combat. In combat, the hussars are generally used to charge enemy positions after the enemy has been softened up by volley fire. Once weakened, the Hussars charge forward with their lances. Should the enemy prove too much, the Hussars pull back and allow another volley to weaken their target before conducting another Charge. Some blood thirsty Hussars have been known to rundown enemy units as they escape the battlefield. In other instances, Hussars will ride into battle with their own sidearms to conduct their own volley fire before charge forth into the enemy.

After many battles, a hussar can eventually reach the rank of lord. After numerous charges, these officers know the optimal time to enter the fray. These officers are expected to be the tip of the spear that runs down the enemy. It is no wonder then, that mortality rates among such officers are high. Scientists are slowly working on mount to help lower these mortality rates. until then, the Hussar Lords do with what they have.

Commissar 165 Unique class

Commissars are a rather unique officer. Unlike the rest who rise through the ranks, Commissars begin their career with a commission already issued. In fact, outside of field marshals and certain political leaders, no one outranks a commissar. The idea is that these officers are a reminder to the troops that they are soldiers, not some band of bandits. Still, these officers are expected to lead by example, often charging into battle with their swords held high.

Basically this is a faction with a lot of troops and variety. My plans for a campaign would be to get a giant mounted wolf for hussars and hussar lords to take. As the ages go by, I want to look into getting tanks and APC like vehicles. In addition, get another unique class called the great slayer. This is the idea for that class.
