❤ Faction Diversity and Unique Playstyles

Players can choose from four highly distinct factions, each with 4 unique heroes, 9 specialized units, 9 custom spells, and a specialized technology tree. This allows for drastically different playstyles - the Undead swarm with cheap, numerous units, while the Steam faction focuses on long-range firepower. The faction asymmetry provides ample strategic variety.

❤ Hex-Based Combat and Tactical Depth

The hex grid combat system demands careful unit positioning, terrain exploitation, and ability coordination to outmaneuver opponents. Each unit and hero possesses a range of special skills and spells that add meaningful tactical depth. Players report the combat is challenging but immensely rewarding to master.

❤ Hero and Unit Progression

Heroes gain levels and unlock randomized talent trees, empowering players to customize them in unique ways each game. Regular units also upgrade and equip items, allowing for specialized unit builds. These RPG-like progression mechanics foster a sense of long-term development for one's forces.

❤ Research and Technology

The spiral-shaped, branching technology trees for economy, military, and magic grant flexibility in how players advance their faction's capabilities. Choosing which upgrades to prioritize introduces meaningful strategic choices.

❤ Procedurally Generated Maps

Randomly generated world maps ensure no two playthroughs are alike, as the layout of resources, neutral factions, and challenges constantly shifts. This increased replayability is a major draw.

❤ Random Events

Unexpected, often consequential random events occur as players explore, keeping each game dynamic and unpredictable. Navigating these events and their fallout is a core part of the gameplay loop.
