Conflux
...I know I won't finish this. I know it's stupid. I don`'t care.
General infos
-this proposal is meant to be in the same setting and game as the factions from the former rounds.
-the setting is an entirely new one, neither the "old" setting up to H4, nor Ashan.
-there are several gameplay aspects that I have decided for myself, but will not detail here, unless someone asks me to. After all, this is about the faction, not a game proposal. Examples are: Battlefields, Diverse Terrain Features (Forests, High Grass, Shallow Water, Small Ceiling in Underground, deep Sand, slippery Ice etc.), Weather, Ambushes, Advanced Diplomacy, Governors, Quests.
-both world and gameplay I'll develop during the rounds (Which is the reason why I won't give relations for the yet unknown new factions)
-I follow a classic, choiceless 7-tier lineup with alternate upgrades for the units
-this, as my other proposals in the contest, draws inspiration from various other fictions. This is intentional and either meant to be a hommage, or a parody.
-I don't use pictures, cause they`re never mine.

Faction Relations
Conflux is all about balance and that also has an impact on faction relations
-Castle/Haven: Neutral
-Conflux: Peace to Alliance
-Cove: The pirates try hard not to anger the elementals, knowing full well that the Conflux`s power over water could damage all there goals. Neutral
-Dungeon: Truce
-Dwarf Fortress: Very shifting. Generally the Dwarves are friends with the Elementals - but sometimes they get too greedy. So, mostly Peace, sometimes alliance, sometimes war.
-Forge/Factory: Disrespecting the way the world is build, twisting the elements around, the forge/factory is a main enemy to conflux. War.
-Inferno: It is shifting, but the corrupting nature of Inferno brings them at odds with conflux more often than not. Truce to War
-Necropolis: The Undeads and conflux rarely interact with one another, as long as Necropolis doesn't shake the foundation of the lands they travel. Neutral
-Preserve: Alliance.
-Sanctuary: Peace to Alliance
-Stronghold: Neutral
-Swamp Fortress: Peace

Units
Common ability:
-Air/Earth/Fire/Water Body (Deals elemental damage with their attack, absorbs damage of their element, weak to damage of the opposing element.)
Tier 1: Essence Spirit (tba)
Small, minor spirits of elemental essence gather wherever an Element is strong. Thus they are plentiful in the Confluxes. Before upgrade, they are transparent and almost shapeless, as well as insanely weak in every stat expect initiative.)
Abilities:
-Hovering (Hovers close above the ground, allowing it to ignore some obstacles and can, slowly, even cross walls - but not enemy units.)
Upgrades:
-Clod of Earth (Merely what the name is, but animated. They have Earth body. They can fling themselves at enemies, crossing a lot of distance but taking damage for every tile crossed. They have excellent hitpoints and defense, but are really slow.)
-Flickering Flame (These flying flames have fire body. They detonate themselves to harm all adjacent units with fire damage. Their attack is high and speed reasonable, but their hitpoints are lousy.)
-Gust of Wind (Never seen, but often felt and heard, this Essence Spirits of Air have an everchanging, but kind nature. They have air body. They get Flying instead of hovering. Their attacks slightly lower their targets' initiative. They have a non-solid body and thus have a chance to avoid damage. Generally, their speed and initiative is excellent, but their attack and damage very weak.)
-Living Puddle (They have water body. They loose "hovering" and instead are "flowing", allowing for better movement on some terrain, and worse on others, as well as traveling through some obstacles with not so bad a penalty. When they move, they turn some terrains to mud and extinguish fire on terrain. In cold terrains, they gain defense, but are slower. They have low damage but good defense.)
Tier 2: Crafter (tba)
Strangely enough, Crafters of many species are found in the confluxes and even in their Armies. They learn to Shape the elements and with the elements, and in return, they defend them.
Abilities:
-
Upgrades:
-Shaper
Tier 3: Lizard (tba)
...
Abilities:
-tba
Upgrades:
-Fire Salamander
-Marine Iguana
-Blindworm

Tier 4 Air: Skybender (tba)
Sylphs, humanoids attuned to the air, are common in many a conflux. Those with huge magical potential become Skybenders, who use the air through which they fly. Unupgraded they are good in initiative, speed, defense and attack, but very weak on hitpoints and damage.)
Abilities:
-Air Body
-Casting (Air Resistance, Haste, Shield of Air)
-Evade Arrows (Some of enemy ranged hits might be dodged.)
-Flying
Upgrades:
-Moonbender (Skybenders who prefer the night have a special bond to water. They can cast some water spells, increase the speed of their Army on the AM when in a boat and, once per battle make water-based obstacles more or less effective. Moonbenders are more durable as well.)
-Sunbender (Skybenders who prefer the day have a special bond to fire. They can cast some fire spells, ensure that the weather in a battle is sunny and increase the sight radius on the AM. Sunbenders can deal more damage in battle.)
Tier 4 Earth: Geode (tba)
Gnomes are found in many towns but those in Conflux are very attuned to Earth. Some of them become mighty Geodes, wielding magic and hammer in battle. They are insanely durable, but slow and extremely weak in physical attacks.

Every faction has their own Tech Tree, offering benefits for all your heroes, armies, towns and AM-Structures.
The tech tree can be accessed on the Adventure map. Most Techs have requirements you must meet. If it is buildings, 1 town with them is enough.
Techs take time to research. The more towns you have, and the better built these towns are, the less time Techs take.
