age of wonders planetfall favorite factions

Their troopers look like kind of a boxier version of the Republic Troopers in SW:TOR, but they’re a hardy faction that incorporates both organic and robotic unit types. The vanguard are AOW:P’s generic space-humans. Hero Forge doesn’t even come close to having the necessary aesthetics to make them creepy enough. They’re a bunch of creepy, undead cyborgs, and even looking at them makes me uncomfortable. I decided that the Assembly are what the Borg would have looked like if they’d been designed by the Warhammer 40K team. Of the six factions, I felt they were the most original, in terms of world-building and appearance-which is probably why they were the most difficult to portray convincingly. They remind me of bulkier, broad-shouldered versions of the Volas from Mass Effect.

The Dvar are apparently some kind of diesel-punk space-dwarves.

The aesthetics are interesting, so I tried designing heroines from each of the six playable factions. I haven’t tired any of the DLCs yet, but I’ve definitely picked my favorite factions, and I’m enjoying the new empire-building campaign mode that came with the last patch. So for the most part I really enjoy Age of Wonders: Planetfall.
