“While our drones battle at the command of our human controllers, there comes a time when a human is needed on the battlefield. Slowly and intricately assembled, the Alpha Fighter is the ultimate union of man and machine. Able to store inflicted damage and turn it against those who oppose it, the Alpha is the final voice in battle.” — MUM[1] |
The Alpha is the Human epic unit.
Background[]
With humans reaching near immortality, the idea of losing countless numbers in warfare became almost inconceivable. Thus, after the Armistice, it was decided the vast majority of Humanity's armies would be artificial.
However, when the situation is dire, a single human will be called in to pilot the devastating Alpha. It's not that the Alpha's weaponry can't be automated, that would be an easy task. In fact, no human trusts the awesome destructive capabilities of the Alpha to a machine.
Overview[]
In times of great peril, a single Human pilot will enter the battlefield. Protected inside their Alpha construct, they bring devastation to their enemies using high-powered beam weapons and reverse-gravitation emitters.
Requirements[]
- 1x Large Factory
- 1x Tank Attachment
- 1x Artillery Attachment
- 1x Air Attachment
- 1x Stealth Attachment
Note: Each tech attachments must be directly connected to one of the four connecting points at each end of the Large Factory. Building an Alpha takes all three factory slots for the five minute construction duration.
Tips[]
- The Alpha's primary ground attack deals damage to everything in a straight line, target units or structures at the back of the ranks do deal the most damage.
- An Alpha epic unit is able to attack ground and air targets independently.
- As an Alpha takes damage it stores up and releases a large AoE knockback attack, damaging all units in its immediate area and pushing them away.
