Unit Description

Image	Unit	Abilities	Description
	Peasants		Most humans are peasants. They do most of the important work from farming to building and collecting resources. They provide support during battle. Although they are not officially trained in the art of war they know how to swing their axe when exposed to danger
	Warriors	Berserk - Veterans are able to go into a state of frenzy in times of war so that they can inflict more damage with their weapon. However, they tend to hurt themselves much more easily when they are in this battle frenzy.	Warrior units are trained at the barracks. They are equpped with basic armor and weapons and sent to the battlefield. Some veterans are even able to switch to Berserk mode. Although they are not as powerful as knights, warriors are he central force of any attack as they make up the majority of most armies. They are cheap and handy.
	Archers	Fire Arrow - Fire arrows are an invention of the dwarf smiths. The tips of the arrows are coated with a flammable substance so that they catch fire easily. They arrows are ignited just before they are shot.	The human archers make up a large proportion of most human nations' armies. In points of strategic defense, they act as watchmen at the guard posts. They have archery practice in the training ground and most are fairly well equipped. Well-equipped archers can even shoot arrows of fire.
	Elven Rangers		Elven Rangers are guardians of the forests. They are trained in the art of woodcraft and marksmanship. They can fire their arrows with deadly accuracy. However, they tend to take a bit more time taking aim.
	Knight Templars	Charge - Knight Templars can spur their horse to charge a short distance in any direction at high speed. However, this does not automatically allow the knight to attack anyone in his path. Divine Light - By summoning the divine energy in his body, the Knight Templar can shoot a ray of divine light in any direction. The divine light reveals any hidden or invisible units in its path. Holy Aura - After calling upon the divine light, the knight is temporarily surrounded by a holy aura that protects him from any harm. The aura absorbs a certain amount of harm before it disappears.	Knight Templars are knights of the priestly order. They are noble, honest and loyal servants to the God Amos. They are strong in physical combat and are protected by the holy aura of their God. They fight injustice in the name of Amos.
	Dwarven Cannon		Dwarves are very hard working, sturdy fellows who live in the Revants Mountains. They are particularly good blacksmiths and tinkerers. One of their most famous creations is the cannon. Each dwarf brings his own cannon on his back, loads the cannon balls and fires them on the battlefield. Of course, they still need to adjust the reloading speed, but its destructive power makes up for any shortcomings.
	Cleric	Lesser Healing - This spell restores some of the hit points of a friendly unit. Major Healing - The major healing spell also affects any friendly units positioned nearby. Turn Undead - The spell does moderate damage to an undead unit. Purification - The purification spell removes any adverse effects such as poison, blindness or infestation.	Clerics are loyal servants of Amos. They make up the majority of the priests in the Temple of Amos. Although they are not professional soldiers they still swing their mace and call upon their god to smite their enemy in times of crisis. Their priestly magic is a huge help in restoring the health of the wounded. By invoking the name of Amos, they are able to give undead creatures eternal rest.
	Mages	Create Mana orb - The ceremony consumes so much energy that no single mage is allowed to perform it alone. By channeling the mana flow from the earth, the mages are able to store the mana in a crystal orb for later use. Castle Portal - The spell opens a portal near the spell caster and teleports all nearby units back to a predetermined point, usually their main castle. Dome of Cancellation - The spell creates a dome-shaped anti-magic zone. It cancels the effect of any aggressive spells in the area. The area radiates a spherical protective energy while the spell is effective. Experienced mages can create an even larger dome. Astral Gate - Two astral gates have to be opened for the spell to work. Once two gates are open teleportation can occur between the two locations. Originally, this spell was developed to help communication between mages, but it is now used to transport soldiers. Invisibility - By the power of magic, you can become invisible. But sound and smell cannot be concealed, and so others may still be able to notice something lurking out there even if the mage is invisible. Haste - The spell allows for a living creature to move at unusually high speed. The spell also alters the flow of time within a person and thus ages him slightly.	The mages of Azilla form a scholarly order that concentrates on studying the arcane arts. Although they are not particularly good at war magic, they are experts in protective magic. More powerful mages are able to open portals for instant teleportation. If a few mages join forces they can channel the mana flow form the earth to those who need it most.
	Hodian Sorceresses	Fireball - This spells shoots a firey ball of death towards a target. The fireball explodes upon contact with and destroys the target. Improved Fireball - This spell does more damage than the inferior version. Summon Stone Golem - This spell summons a Stone Golem, which will then fight for the sorceress. Golems were originally designed to do mundane jobs for the sorceresses so that they could concentrate on their studies, but they now make good bodyguards and soldiers in war. Meteor Strike - Powerful sorceresses can summon a huge meteor from the sky, which then strikes their opponents. All those who are caught within the range of the meteor strike suffer immense physical harm such as burns. This dangerous spell can even harm the caster if she stands too close to the meteor strike.	The Coven of the Hodian Sorceresses was established by powerful sorceresses who survived the last war. They are particularly skilled in the art of war magic. Hod village, located at the top of the Revants Mountains, is where the sorceresses study forbidden arcane lore. The whole village is protected by a powerful ward that keeps intruders out. Only a few know of the existence of the Coven. For some unknown reason, the sorceresses only take on talented girls as apprentices. The ignorant people in the mountains usually refer to them as witches
	Scout Balloon	Unload Scout Balloon - Lands the units onboard to the ground at the selected point.	The scout balloon is one of the dwarves' most astonishing creations. It enables the army to transport units from one point to another even if a river or mountains are blocking the way. Equipped with an enchanted spyglass, scout balloons can detect distant units and invisible enemies.
	Storm Riders		Storm riders are made up of a human rider and a very well trained, huge bird called the Zephyr Condor. In combat they throw axes from up in the sky. Although they are not particularly strong in their attack, storm riders can easily overcome most obstacles on the ground.
	Bomber Wing		The bomber wing, invented after the air balloon, is another awesome creation from the dwarves. Although the machine is still in the early stages of development the dwarf king ordered the workshops to mass produce the flyers after realising their potential, in combat they drop bombs from above.

Dark Legion

The races of darkness have always been very strong and fearsome opponents for other races. Unfortunately, these characteristics resulted in disputes among the devils themselves. However, things changed when R entered The Ogres and Orcs swore allegiance to, and with Dark Elves and Wyverns, became his followers. Even the Vampires joined Rick Blood's army. Although this alliance seems formidable it can be broken down easily once the 'one' is gone.

	Fortress	Trains Gnomes		The Fortress is the nucleus of the army and the residence of the commander. Captured gnomes are trained as slaves to do all the mundane jobs in the fortress. As is the case with the human's keep, without the fortress the Dark Legions can no longer store resources. Orcs care less about their base than humans so rarely try to upgrade their fortress.
	Shelter			The shelter is the living quarters for most units. The food suppleis are also stored here. Sometimes the shelter is used as a defensive wall against invasions.
	War Camp	Trains Orc Fighters Trains Dark Elves - Requires Corrupt Woods Trains Ogres - Requires Ancient Candle		The main forces of the Dark Legion, the Orcs, Dark Elves and Ogres, are trained in the War Camp. These units are trained mainly in disciple rather than fighting strategies because their uncontrollable, jingoistic nature sometimes overrides orders given by the high-ranking officers.

	Spore Plant	Trains Swamp Mammoths Trains Dirigibles	Develop Mammoth Hide - Strengthens Swamp Mammoth's armor	The Sport Plant is another of the Dark Mages' achievements. Before the Sport Plant was invented, the Dark Legion faced the problem of where to breed Swamp Mammoths and Dirigibles. Now they have a solution. They use magic on a piece of land from the Swamp of No Return and make it float in the air. There the Dark Mages can breed the creatures with their own dark purpose in mind.
	Unholy Portal	Trains Liches Trains Vampires Summon Richter - Requires Boneyard (Skirmish mode only)		The Unholy Portal is the gateway through which the dark creatures enter this world. It can summon Liches, Vampires and dark heroes.

Human victims are placed on the altar and dark ceremonies are performed. After the human has died an agonizing death, the corpse is brought back to life as a Shadow Puppet under the total control of the Lich.

	Bone Yard	Animated Bone Dragon		The dark minions are sent to collect all the dragon bones they can find and bring them to this bone yard. The Liches then use them to make a Bone Dragon. The Bone Dragons still have the ability to breathe fire and fly in the sky.

Unit Description

Image	Unit	Abilities	Description
	Gnome Slaves		The gnomes are not part of the Dark Legion forces. They are peaceful creatures who like to play and joke below the western slopes of the Revants Mountains. Orcs one day invaded the town and began to use gnomes as slaves, and so gnome slaves now produce food, build structures and collect resoruces. They just want this war to end so that they can go back to their homes. But it is just a dream that cannot come true.
	Orc Fighters		Until recently, Orc soldiers were just ordinary residents of Hexter living within their own tribes. However, instinctively, they swore their loyalty towards Rick Blood when he promised them rich lands in Western Bersia. They do not require any special training because living in horrible conditions in Hexter is very hard training in itself. Of course, they might be weaker than well-equipped human soldiers, but as soon as they acquire shields they are on par with them.
	Dark Elves		Dark Elves are outcast elves. They now live underground below the Revants Mountains. They particularly despise their elf brethren and will nearly always attack them on sight. They are skilled in throwing clubs made from the corrupt woods. they joined the war against the Human Alliance so that they would have the pleasure of killing any elf they came across.
	Ogres	Blood lust - Ogres are more violent and cruel than any other creature in Bersia. They have a mad nature and thirst for blood. This blood lust that burns in the Ogres' body boosts the strength of their attack considerably for a very short period. Note that this ability is a health hazard and may have adverse effects if used repeatedly.	Ogres are the most powerful monsters in Hexter. Just like the Orcs, they decided to follow Rick Blood when he promised them land in Western Bersia. They fight just as well as the Knight Templar's
	Swamp Mammoths	Spore Egg - The swamp mammoth can make an egg filled with spres. The egg is normally stored inside the mammoth, but it can be released in times of danger. The spore egg explodes when it comes into contact with enemy units.	Originally, the swamp mammoths were a very gentle animal who lived in the Swamp of No Return. Now corrupted by dark energy of the Ancient Candles, they are now becoming more and more violent.
	Shadow Puppets	Burrow - One of the shdow puppets' outstanding features is their ability to burrow. They can burrow underground and re-emerge at any time to attack passing opponents.	The shadow puppets are the result of atrocious experiments performed by Liches. Liches turn captured humans into shadow puppets by killing them in a cermony on the desecrated alters and then reviiving their corpses. They can plant dark energy spores into theri body. These shadow puppets explode like a ball of blood as soon as they come into contact with an enemy. They can also burrow undergorund and approach the enemy unnoticed.
	Liches	Animate Corpse - Liches can disturb the peace of the dead and bring the bodies back to life as zombie.s The zombies re under the complete control of their creator and form a basis of the undead army. Animate Dead - A more powerful version of the animate corpse spell. It can even bring back to life bodies that been dead for sometime and produces more zombies. Black Plague - This spell inflicts a terrible plague on a unit, which then spreads to all those nearby. All those who catch the plague become carriers of the plague too. The plague slowly drains the hit points of the target until the unit dies or is purified. Evil Eye - The spell plants an evil eye on the target and allows the Lich to see through this eye as it it were its own. Pentagram - The spell channels energy form the earth and creates this unholy area where units within the area restore their hit points and mana. Apocalypse - The spell opens up the ground and allows Hellfire to burn from deep below. The whole area is consumed in flames.	Liches are wizards who sought to become an undead with the aim of furthering their dark pursuits. As long as the living do not interfere with them, Liches generally do not care very much about living creatures, except when they need a body of flesh to perform some kind of dark experiment. However, the powers of the Ancient Heart and the Ancient Candles have drawn them out of their evil abodes. They are probably the most powerful wizards among the known unread in Bersia. They can bring corpses back to life, turning them into zombies and create hellfire spells.
	Vampires	Cloak of Shadows - Vampires can hide form their enemies in their shadows. Cloaks of Darkness - Powerful vampires can also conceal those nearby in a cloak of darkness. Control Animal - Vampires can control any normal animal and place them under their command. Bat Form - Vampires cna transform themselves into a group of vamprie bats. The number of bats depends on the current state of the vampire's health. Terror - Vampires can put fear into the heart of enemy units. Scared units are unable to attack and are likely to run away form the vampires as quickly as possible. It is rumored that a concentrated mind can still function while under the influence of this fear. Memory Leech - Vampires are able to drain a skill or spell from a memory of a selected target. The skill or spell appears to be selected at random. The victim loses the ability to use this particular skill or spell forever while the vampire acquires all the knowledge required to the randomly selected targets spell. However, the vampire is only able to do this once in his lifetime..	Vampires are nobles of Vellond. Until now they did not interfere in other races' affairs. However, when Richter decided to join the war on the side of the Dark Legion, he brought along the empires of his clan. Rather than attack from the front line, they like to sneak into the opponents base and wreak havoc, causing fear and confusion among humans. If they are cornered and their life is in danger they can turn themselves into a bat in order to escape.
	Demons	Mana Drain - The spell briefly connects the underworld with the material plane on a selected target and drains their mana away. Mana Vortex - This is an advanced version of the mana drain ability. Anyone caught within the area of the mana drain will have their mana sucked into the underworld. Stinking Mist - Demons can release a stinking mist at a chosen point. Those caught within it find it so repulsive they are unable to stop crying. Although their tears temporarily impair their eyesight the effect wears off after a while. (Seriously, this is the description of the spell in the game manual. I don't know what this does.) Glimpse - The demon can take a glimpse of a small area using his demon's eye. He is able to gather all information about the area immediately, including the position of any hidden or invisible targets	These lesser demons were originally form the underworld. They were summoned to this world by powerful dark mages to wreak havoc. Most of them act as servants to the Liches. Although they cannot be trusted due to their unfaithful nature they obey the commands of their dark lord as long as they have a share in the work. They are able to conjure up a few spells.
	Black Wyverns		Black Wyverns are fierce flying creatures who live in the Eastern part of the Revants Mountain. They are notoriously fierce and cruel. They are captured and brought to the Foul Nest when they are still very young and trained as war tools. They form the Dark Legions main air force They descend at high speed and use their breath to attack their opponents before soaring high again. Some call them 'dark clouds' as they look like a dark cloud from far away when flocked together.
	Dirigibles	Make Transport Spore - Makes a spore to transport units. Drop Transport Spore - Drops the spore at a location and allows units to land safely. The spore cannot be re-used until a new one is made. Unload Transport Spore - Lands units safely without dropping the spore.	Dirigibles are natives to the Swamp of No Return. The Dark Legion is now breeding them to using the spore plant. The spore is made inside their body. Originally, these spores were used to raise babies safely, but now they are used for transportation. With their extremely acute sense, they can even detect invisible creatures.
	Bone Dragons	Firey Blast - Although it is not as strong as when it was alive, the dragon's hellish breath can still do immense damage.	Bone dragons are dragon skeletons that have been brought back to life. The Liches collect the deceased dragon's bones and take them to the bone yard. A Bone dragon remembers its past and so is still able to fly and breathe fire.
