Gameplay-wise, the Kir’Ko race are strengthened if units are close to each other. Now they’ve broken their chains and their goal is divided into two objectives: to take revenge for their enslavement and to get back to their hive queen. However, they were also enslaved by superior human species. Before the collapse, they were connected and unified by a single hive mind. Kir’Ko is the only faction comprised of Aliens while other races are humans or humanoids. The Dvar race makes use of Explosive and Kinetic as their main weapon groups. They can erect cover for their defense and have an array of lethal melee weapons and durable vehicles. Thanks to this specialization in machinery, they can withstand uncompromising terrains like Volcanic areas, and terraform mountains to make them flat. Thanks to their experience of working in harsh conditions in mines, they were able to develop strong armored suits post-collapse. Dvar Factionĭvar are the hardworking industrial-minded dwarves in Age of Wonders: Planetfall. Their primary weapon groups include Arc and Kinetic powered equipment. This is exemplified by Scavenger Units who use the bits of their enemies to heal themselves and Reverse Engineers who can revive their comrades in battle. They’ve taken up the task of repairing their fellow Cyborg units as a profession and duty. For this purpose, they harvest the useful organs and parts from their enemy corpses. Units in the Assembly represent Cyborgs who take a keen interest in tinkering with the modifications and technology responsible for sustaining life. Still having human minds but everything else crafted out of metallic bits, they started down the road of becoming the ultimate killing machines. The Assembly race started as computer-powered clones created by a company that was no more after the big event that shaped the universe of Age of Wonders: Planetfall. Their weapon technologies revolve primarily around the Biochemical and Laser damage channels. This faction is similar to how Hunters or Elves work in other fantasy mediums thanks to their bow skills, exploration techniques and closeness to nature and animals which they keep as their pets and assistants. They are an all-female faction that can control wildlife and the wilderness. In addition to creating laser-equipped Tyrannodon, they modified their existing soldier-warriors to have extraordinary abilities like those of pterodactyl scouts called Shrikes. The Amazon was deep into genetic research and modifications before the collapse of the Star Union. There are several other NPC factions which are responsible for other challenges and serve functions like handing out quests. Note, these are the only playable factions.

Moreover, each race has 8 Race Unit Mods attributed to them along with special Operations, Buildings and Social Doctrines. Each Race has 8 unique units along with 2 different Racial Ships and a common Colonizer.

In addition to the unique unit lineup and weapon groups (damage channels) for the factions, each race has their unique technology tree. This shared history or ultimate goal, as the developers’ state, is a unifying factor between the 6 factions. Now each one must find a new home in lieu of survival. All of the factions had to deal with the collapse of the Star Union, their one true kingdom. Though each of the factions in Age of Wonders is unique in how they view other races and plan their invasions, there is some common ground when it comes to their backstory.
