where the society can be described of being a blend of the Napoleonic Era and the Industrial Revolution with the technology level of the 1940s. Theia is home to many different landmasses, but Warlord focuses on Kathos, a frigid region to the northeast where winter is long and bitter. Kathos is generally divided into two large military powers and a handful of neutral countries. In the north is the Sovereign Republic of Rahmos, one of the two major powers possesses the world's most advanced and powerful airship fleet and a technologically advanced military. Their territory contains their home islands of Rahmos and Sedalia, with a number of satellite states on the mainland. The Confedration of Nallum, informally known as the Fahrong is the other major power. With uneven and mountainous terrain, the Fahrong employ mechanized walkers known as Armored Arachnids ("Arachs") along with the largest standing army. Central to the game is Atelia, a medium-sized country known for its abundant resources and many different ethnic groups. At the time of the game, Atelia is a country traditionally divided into city-states and nomadic groups. Its lands are contested by the two Kathos military powers and the remaining scraps of the country are ruled by Warlords.
[edit] Backstory

You play as one of the savagely independent Atelia warriors of Warlord Sahrab's army. Atelia has been invaded by the Confederation, a vast and ruthless army that has prepared the way for its invasion by sending in missionaries to convert the Atelians to the Fahrong cause. Atelia is rich in resources, and both the Confederation - led by the powerful Fahrong nation - and the Rahmos Protectorate know that Atelia would be a key conquest in their power struggles. Atelia itself is a fractured, anarchic country, with divided loyalties. It was Warlord Sahrab who realized that this large scale invasion cannot be resisted until the whole of Atelia unites, and so he engages in this deadly guerrilla warfare, designed to provoke the Confederation into bombarding entire cities. As a Warlord, you must use all of your skill to defend the city against the Confederate attacks. In an innovative blend of RTS and FPS genre's, advancing the "Art of Defense" gameplay, you will employ urban guerrilla tactics to fight off the hordes. You must protect your city at all costs, by building defense structures, setting traps, and taking the enemy on yourself.
