Last week we did describe you the Rebel forces. Brutal, variegated and badly organized, but nevertheless deadly. Well, let me say that those were just the real beginning of a painful experience for your army and defenses.
It is now time to talk about the Krovan Army. This time we talk about Organized and even far deadlier than the Rebels are. Why they’re on the field agains you, it’s not yet time to spoiler, but know that they will be a tough nut to crack! Without further ado, let’s present them!
Infantry
Krovan infantries might lack elegance and fancy armors, but represent one of the infantries every military leader would love to have under his command. Stoud, steady and reliable, these bearded guys know not the meaning of the world retreat. To victory or death. You’re envying the Krovans now, right?
Musketeer
Aye Sir, compared to the Krovan’s advances in technology, ours look fairly ridiculous. Take a look at their firearms, they shoot faster, farther and with a much higher impact strenght than ours. The training of the soldiers is even harder to compare, but maybe had the Capital given you some decent man, we would look less amateur in comparison to these guys.
Sapper
Genius and madness are needed to be hired in the Sapper Corps of the Krovan army. The survival rate is crazy low but repaid by hard work, digging, chopping, and the fun of planting explosive sticks of all kind. Their explosions make no distiction among friends and enemies, it only matters that the explosion is big and loud. They seem to survive without a scratch most of the explosions, but the final one.
- Blowing obstacles – The Sapper can blow up trunks, rocks and little mounds in order to open new paths for the enemies.
- Digging tunnels – The Sapper can dig an underground tunnel that other units can use to sneak hidden and protected past your defenses.
- Opening new paths – The Sapper can chop trees in order to get on new path open through a forest.
- Explosive death – The Sapper detonates himself upon death, causing fire area damage all around.
Glider
Designed by the valmassian inventor Leonardus Da Perdi, these gliders are the perfect choice if you couldn’t give any less importance to having a long and peaceful life. If getting yourself thrown in the air with a belt loaded with bombs doesn’t kill you, then what might? Mind, even after you kill the pilot they might be still of some danger for your defenses.
- Explosive death – Upon death, the glider continues moving along its current path until he crashes to the ground with an explosion that can damage castle, buildings and men in the area.
- Fiery rain – The Glider throws bombs from the sky upon your towers, defender and builders.
Steam Carriage
Louder than hell, absolutely not to be used in stealth missions, this steam carriage is a little jewel of military technology. Heavy armor, huge cannon and enough space to carry troops straight into the battlefield, what more could you ask for? Well, maybe that your army had it instead than the enemy, but those are just details.
- Troops transport – Every 20 seconds, the Steam Carriage deploys either an Infantry, Musketeer or a Sapper unit on its same path.
- Trample – A knight charge that clashes into the Steam tank will be immediately and brutally interrupted.
- Vehicle – Immune to Criticals, Nets, Caltrops and Poison
Skirmisher
The borderlands are no place for weaklings. Survival is a key feature of the strong ones. Rough men, trained in the art of war and camouflage, the Skirmishers are the scouting elite of the Krovan army. What they do best is approaching the enemy unseen and then mercilessly killing with axe and pistol. Very tough scoundrels these ones.
- Stealth – The Skirmisher can hide in plain sight and sneak unharmed through your defenses. Scouts, Rangers and Temples will be able to reveal his presence to all the towers around.
Field Medic
Trained by the Ordo Medika, these rutheless lady apothecaries roam the battlefield ready to administer healing, mercy and painful deaths upon the enemies. The Ordo ask for no oath of not harming people, and the field medic takes it literally. Those same darts they use to administer painkilling drugs to the allies, can deliver deadly poisons to their enemies.
- Heal Allies – The Medic can shoot injectors filled with painkiller drugs able to restore the health of her hurt allies.
- Drugged Darts – The Medic shoots your defenders and builders with poisoned darts causing 10 damage/sec. for 5 seconds.
Field Officer
The Field Officer is an icon of the iron discipline in the Krovan army. Ruthless and unweavering, the Officers are the fighting elite of the Wolf headed troops. Standing tall and leading the charge, they will drive their soldiers into suicidal-like rushes against your defenses.
- Call The Charge – Incites all the nearby allies and himself, providing a 25% bonus to movement and damage for 15 seconds.
Diver
Trained on the frozen depth of the Daikal lakes, this amphibian strike force is unique among the Young kingdoms armies. Able to move freely above and under water the Divers can reach through impassable defenses by taking advantage of the water bodies on the battlefield. A real force to be reckoned with.
- Amphibian Warfare – Can use both water and ground paths. When underwater can’t be attacked by archery towers.
Hussar
The Hussars are said to never stop and never look back. These fierce warriors ride across the battlefield on their armored steeds, stabbing and shooting their pistols without ever stopping to engage the defenders. When no target is in sight, their gallop becomes furious and fast.
- Charger – The Hussar never stops, not even when shooting your towers, or attacking your soldiers.
Zeppelin
Nay, it ain’t a flyin turd you see coming, Commander. It’s a Zeppelin, the shiniest new weapon from the Krovan arsenal. What does it do? Well, it flies, drops bombs on your head, and when it crashes on the ground it explodes as well.
- Explosive death – When destroyed, the Zep crashes to the ground with an explosion that can damage castle, buildings and men in the area.
- Fiery rain – The Zep throws bombs from the sky upon your towers, defender and builders.
That was for now, see you next week!
