Factory

Factory is a neutral alignment town with the mercenary and artificer hero classes set to be released in Horn of the Abyss version 1.7.0. Factory armies combine nature with an attempt to harness its power, featuring humans wielding technology such as guns and flamethrowers, and creatures enhanced by technological advancements.

Factory's native terrain is wasteland.

• Tier 1: Halfling –> Halfling Grenadier ("The basic version will fully replicate its predecessor from the original game, differing from it only in appearance; but the upgraded ones, Halfling Grenadiers, thanks to exploding projectiles created by talented artificers, will acquire the ability to ignore a certain percentage of the target's defense when attacking. This percentage will be flat, helping maintain the archetypal image of halflings as giant-killers.")

• Tier 2: Mechanic –> Engineer (They are said to both be able to repair mechanical units.)

• Tier 3: Armadillo –> Bellwether Armadillo (They are said to have an alternative walking animation: when having Haste cast, they will curl into a ball and roll instead of walking; this is purely a cosmetic feature.)

• Tier 4: Automaton –> Sentinel Automaton (No released graphics or information available other than the fact they are possibly fully robotic.)

• Tier 5: Sandworm –> Olgoi-Khorkhoi (Teleport, similar to Nymph, Devil, and etc. It is said that if they come out of the ground above a corpse, the stack automatically consumes it, and its next attack receives extra attacks (similar to the Crusader). Bonus strikes from multiple corpse consumes are accumulated. They are also said, when combating on ships, to not be able to use their burrowing (teleport) ability and will walk normally instead.)

• Tier 6: Gunslinger –> Bounty Hunter (Retaliate to one ranged attack per round with a Quick Shot.)

• Tier 7: Dreadnought –> Juggernaut (Both units have a special penetrating beam attack called Heat Stroke. The attack pattern is similar to that of the Cerberus, but it also affects units including those next to the targets, similar to a dragon's breath attack. The attack can only be used "when the beam goes live", and both units will perform normal melee attacks otherwise.)

• Tier 7: Couatl –> Crimson Couatl (Couatls can Meditate to become impervious to damage and skip their turn.)

NOTE: Both the Dreadnought and Couatl are set to be 7th tier units. Both dwellings may be built in the same town and both units may be recruited. They will NOT be alternative units like in Heroes of Might & Magic IV.

Ammo Cart is Factory's war machine.
