stratusfear 说:WARRIOR OF ETERNITY
Warrior of Eternity is a total conversion fantasy mod which we are currently working on, and will hopefully be released for 0.89X.
Planned Features:
Six new playable factions:
- Human Empire
- Elven
- Dwarven
- Quelthasas (in my story they are huge demons... but in this mod they'll be human sized, but have massive strength.)
- Undead
- Naiyan (in my story they are linked to the quelthasas demons...)
Each race will have unique weapons, armour, buildings and mounts!
Descriptions:
Human Empire = An empire ruled by Arlos Goldenblade; humans will have good troops overall and extremely powerful cavalry.
The Human Empire has stood for many thousands of years; their impressive weaponry has only been augmented by the elves and dwarves with whom they trade extensively. They are a relatively peaceful race who have enjoyed the benefits of peace for a great many years. These proud men and women are stout of heart and strong of spirit. The fighters of the Human Empire are brave and loyal; their soldiers display exceptional valour on any battlefield. These soldiers are not ruled by fear; their leader is a benevolent man who has been ruling the empire justly for several years; his youth sometimes causes him to be a little too reckless, but his soul is one of a true leader.
Recently the Human Empire has been claimed to be the largest of the righteous civilisations of Nerr; their empire has been reduced by the raids and assaults of demons and undead, but they have continued to hold their remaining ground fiercely. Their powerful cavalry have enabled them to conduct many raids on the undead and demons and so both of the unrighteous 'empires' have been weakened slightly. Without a doubt the cavalry are excellent for defending human and allied territory as well; their speed means that they can assist besieged allies very quickly. The recent appearance of Angeliors among the human ranks must mean that Drol Eht has decided that the humans are in need of his warriors.
Elves = A society shrouded in mystery, said to be ruled by a council. Elves will have average infantry, extremely good archers and light cavalry.
The Elven Society is a mighty one stretching over much of Nerr. The forests are often home to the aptly named and often humourous forest elves, while the towering and graceful golden citadels are home to the proud and noble high elves. The forest elves are far more relaxed than their disciplined cousins, but their loyalty to their race is both ancient and strong. The high elves have a strong military tradition of melee combat, while their cousins are more suited to the use of the bow; a weapon they use for both hunting and combat. When asked who commands their mighty civilisation the answer is always the same: the Council. The Elven Council is rumoured to consist of members of both elven peoples and many believe that the eldest elves lead this council. Little else is known or even guessed of these mysterious folk.
The elves have recently lost small numbers of their ancestral forests and citadels to the unholy enemies and so their civilisation has been weakened somewhat, nonetheless the elven people are not to be underestimated; they have now called upon their elite warriors; the Avengers of Nature and the Champions of Nature to aid them and it is said that the elves are eager to reclaim their sacred lands from the wretched creatures which have defiled them.
Dwarven = The dwarven empire of Nerr is one of the only ones which rivals the mighty human empire in terms of size and power. The dwarves will have excellent infantry, decent missile troops and perhaps some tough mounted troops.
The mighty dwarves have long been friendly rivals of the elves; the two races often tease each other in a friendly nature and both are willing to work together. The dwarves admire elven delicacy and the elves admire dwarven strength and ingenuity. Both the dwarves and elves are ancient races who have existed on Nerr for years without number. The elves do live significantly longer, but the dwarven lifespan is still quite impressive to most humans; who ever would have believed that people who drink so much mead and ale could be so healthy? Elves live for some 6,000 years or more, while dwarves have been said to live as long as 4,000 or even 5,000 years in some cases.
While the dwarves are often jovial they do have a more belligerent side that is clear when they have exhausted more peaceful means. 'If a dwarf wants something then usually they ask for it with a friendly grin.' Of course some dwarves are more warlike than others; some revel in combat almost as much as the terrifying demons, while others are more peaceful and prefer a life devoid of warfare. Such is the way of most races.
The Dwarven Empire is still very powerful; their ancient strongholds in the mountains have remained firmly in their hands. Their extremely tough and resourceful soldiers have made them very difficult foes for the undead and demons to defeat. Without a doubt the dwarves are the toughest and most resiliant fighters of the four righteous races... though recently their outposts have come under attack by dark creatures...
Quelthasas = The quelthasas are fearsome adversaries and are far stronger than any of the races native to Nerr. They have heavy cavalry, incredibly tough infantry and their ranged soldiers are lethal.
The Quelthasas Legions are a fearsome fighting force; they are the original beings that were cursed by Drol Eht to become demons when they tried to overthrow the Naiyan society millenia ago. After many many years they returned and waged a horrific war on their Naiyan foes. Some Naiyans managed to flee during the War of the Immortals and fled to different realms and the Quelthasas Legions have recently managed to break the ancient and mighty seals and enchantments on the gateway to Nerr. They then poured quickly over the realm; pillaging and slaughtering all that they beheld. Soon they were driven back by the mighty forces of righteousness; their terrible hordes suffering massive casualties as they fled back to the gateway.Once they were forced to flee to the gateway they cunningly brought through a massive number of their brethren to ambush the righteous armies.
The Battle of the Gateway was the bloodiest battle that had ever taken place on Nerr; both the good and evil forces suffered huge casualties. Despite this the righteous forces still outnumbered the demons and so began to close in. Just as the demons were about to retreat through the Gateway a colossal number undead appeared. These unholy horrors wreaked havoc; the righteous forces were reduced to a few small bands of soldiers which fled back to their three homelands, bringing tales of the terrible undead and demon alliance that seemed to exist. While the righteous were fleeing the undead and demons were amalgamating their forces. The terrifying alliance was made on that bloody battlefield on that very day.
They were henceforth known as the Amalgamated Forces of Darkness.
Undead = Summoned by the wicked necromancers or by demons these horrific beings stalk the battlefield and seek to snuff out the life of their foe. Average units all around, but their troops won't require food. They will also have no morale.
These horrible beings were once humans, elves or dwarves. Dark and unholy magics twisted the original beings and transformed them into liches, vampires and spectres. Thus did the original undead come to be. These horrific beings soon realised that they were able to raise the corpses of the dead and that doing so increased their dark magical powers and provided them with soldiers that could fight for their twisted desires. As more of these spectres, liches and vampires were created the three mightiest nations of Nerr grew alarmed. The three races knew that these dark beings were a threat to the safety of the realm itself and so implored the mystical Naiyans and Grandmaster Sages of Arkandarr to confine the unholy creatures within a small area of Nerr.
The Naiyans, Grandmaster Sages and the powerful elven and dwarven spellcasters managed to create a mighty barrier of holy energy that would cause undead that went past it to rapidly perish. The barrier's power was immense; it took centuries for the undead to finally destroy it. The moment it was destroyed those who had created it knew exactly what had happened and quickly teleported themselves to the barrier. The barrier was gone, but the undead appeared to have simply gone back to ther unholy fortresses. This puzzled the magic-users greatly; why would the undead horrors destroy the barrier only to remain in their lands?
It was not until the undead joined the quelthasas that the magic-users realised that the undead had known of the demonic race's coming and had been waiting for them to aid them; to help them in their bid to destroy Nerr and construct a new and horrible empire of the undead and demons... and so the undead have gathered their most powerful beings and united with the demons. The battle lines have been drawn and good and evil are about to clash in the most immense war that Nerr has ever seen.
Naiyan = They are part of an ancient society which was consumed by war. They are immortal and were refugees from their realm. The Naiyans have very graceful and powerful troops. They are fewer in number than the quelthasas race, but they will have very strong cavalry, arhcers and infantry.
Once, long ago the Naiyans were a mighty and kind race; they had an empire that dwarfed any existing in Nerr or any other realm to this very day, but even in a mighty empire built on a foundation of goodness is not without evil. Caltan, the Emperor of the Naiyans was the one to feel the sting of betrayal worst because it was his own brother, Natlac who led a rebel army of Naiyans to destroy the Naiyan empire. Natlac was power-hungry and wanted to rule over an empire of his own. This would have been bad enough, but Natlac also despised his brother and his very way of llife; he wanted to see his brother's life and empire destroyed. So he attacked the Empire of the Naiyan Loyalists.
The war was bloody, but short; after only a few months the Naiyan upstarts had been defeated. The few surviving Naiyan rebels led by Natlac were banished and cursed to be demons for their evil. Natlac and his followers still retained their immortality, but grew even more wicked; they were evil incarnate by the time they were ready to attack Caltan's Empire again. The War of the Immortals was the worst war ever fought; the deaths were astronomically high. The final battle was a bloody one; Caltan, his general Courage and the mystical Empyrean Dragon known as the Aluus were those that the Naiyan Loyalists followed to that terrible battle against Natlac's forces and his four terrible generals; Ergor the Vile, Kirgaad the Cruel, Zergas the Unholy andTstana the Sly.
The Loyalists and most of Natlac's soldiers were all dead after only twenty minutes of battle. Courage was the one who slew the damned generals of Lehl. The Aluus was slaughtered by Natlac and after a short time of battle of Courage & Caltan against Natlac and his army the courageous general was killed by Natlac.
Caltan was the sole survivor of that terrible battle. Just as Natlac was about to slay him he vanished. The teleportation spell he had cast brought him to his palace. He immediately teleported the bodies of the Aluus, Courage and the dead loyalists into a White Void; the same place where he had teleported every other dead naiyan and quelthasas. He knew that eventually he would return to Nayo and invoke the powers of the White Void... one day... after all of this had happened he teleported himself to the gateway (to Nerr) of the Naiyan refugees who had fled during the chaos of the War of the Immortals. He then walked through and waited in Nerr... waited for 50,000,000 years...
