Intent on destroying the entire race of the Land of the Fathers through warfare are three fierce and unrelenting enemies: The Khonties, Barbarians and the Insular Empire.Each race possesses and can easily develop distinguishable technologies. Heavy armor, transport and aviation units unique to each race will all be represented on the battlefield.

A thick haze of exhaust will hang heavy over steel battle machines; the ground will becomes scorched and scarred by the trademarks of tanks and other heavy vehicles; artillery fire scratches, burns and breaches heavily armored units."
