Space Race
. Ancient nomadic race.
. Survive on a mineral found in the atmosphere of game planet
. Air/Space focused
. They have no care for the underdeveloped species of the game planet
Features
. All Structures are built from SkyControl
. Structures can be Dropped, causing damage to land structures/units.
. Some units can be used on sky or land, but recieve a damage penalty
if used as a ground force
. Structures/Bases can also be landed, but cost/requirements for
these structures are increased.
. Buildings are built Japan-style from RA3 - when a structure is
placed a little droid thing comes out to actually build it once
it's paid for.
Structures
. Sky Control (construction yard)
. Wind Generator
. Atmosphere Condenser (provides resource 2)
. Robotics assembler (builds tech 1)
. Armour facilty or something (builds tech 2)
. Cannon deployment or something (builds tech 3)
. Assymetric warfare division (builds stealth units)
Defence
. Recon towers - big vision radius, detects stealth
. Basic tower - can fire against air, but not space/land/underground
. Barricade - creates wall of lasers/electricity, causes damage and
blocks path of space units
Basic scout units (tech 1)
. Roboscout - Air/space, very good melee damage against other light
units but no attack against structures. Detects stealth.
. Space suited jet marine guy - air/land, can attack all three with
good damage against armour and buildings but little armour
Armour (tech 2)
. Fighter - stalwart air/space unit against other air/space units
. Bomber - air/space, hits ground units (not from space)
. Seismic disruptor - ground unit that hits underground units only
Seige (tech 3)
. Big Bertha type cannon - slow moving, has to be deployed (can't
shoot while moving), seige against space, also later on a defense
against space
. Ground cannon - Slow moving air (or space?) unit, totally
annihilates everything directly below it
Stealth (stealth tech)
. Saboteur - instantly destroys heavy armour; has a few random extra
powers that do stuff like slow down groups of units

Land Race
. A Peasant like Cultist regime
. Derives all power from "The Gods"

involved in the cult, and converting people to their cause)
