Mercenary Factions

A mercenary outpost that can be captured to allow hiring mercenary forces to aid you in the battle. A selection of mercenary infantry can be trained from the outpost itself, and further troops and vehicles can be called in as off-battlefield reinforcements.

A bunker-like construct for protecting infantry on the battlefield while defending a position. Maximum of five infantry can enter the Field Shelter at any given time to fire at passing enemies while taking cover.

Armored machine gunners, that true to their nickname can mow through infantry in a truly savage fashion using a high-caliber heavy machine gun. While they are capable of dealing even with large groups of infantry with ease as well as some of the more lightly armored vehicles, their firing range leaves lot to be desired.

Experts of hot-wiring and sabotaging enemy vehicles, Hijackers are able to capture both currently manned and unmanned vehicles for whoever is serving as their client. Hijackers are adept at avoiding death by getting crushed by the very enemy vehicles they are attempting to steal and also carry smoke bombs they can use to camouflage themselves for short periods of time to help avoid being gunned down by their enemies, but outside this they are unarmed and unable to protect themselves should they become targets to hostile forces.

A legendary sniper affiliated with the Fist of Titans, hailing from somewhere in the Europe, rumored to have been trained by an accomplished Winter War veteran from Finland in the art of marksmanship. In this age of conflict, the man known only as the Stalker is working as a mercenary, offering his skills to anyone willing to pay enough. Not only capable of killing infantry from a distance without revealing his position, he can kill pilots of less-protected vehicles, provided they have been damaged enough. In addition, his sniper rifle is fitted with a laser pointer to signal a partner of his operating an old Soviet Tupolev Tu-16 strategic bomber to drop an explosive payload on enemy structures.

Mercenary soldiers armed with various variants of the AK family of assault rifles, mostly capable of taking on enemy infantry forces and securing structures as garrisons.

Mercenary soldiers with portable anti-tank rocket launchers to deal with armored vehicles. Rocket Soldiers can also garrison structures for extra protection.

Heavily armored troops armed with flamethrowers to incinerate infantry. They can also fortify themselves in buildings to protect themselves from enemy fire while still being able to utilize their flamethrowers. In addition, the flamethrowers are able to clear out enemies from suitably unprotected garrisons, provided they get close enough without being killed first.

A fast, lightly armored vehicle with a makeshift missile launcher pieced together from the parts of various missile launcher systems, making it an excellent choice for hit-and-run attacks on enemy forces, especially on lightly armored vehicles and aircraft.

A main battle tank no longer in service of any national army, but still used by mercenary combatants. While the tank design, nicknamed Raccoon by the mercenaries is starting to show its age, it's still capable of dealing some punishment due to its agility as well as its armor-piercing shells.

Crocodile is a chassis of an armoured personnel carrier combined with a cannon, turret and loading mechanism of a tank. In addition, these hybrid constructs are capable of traversing over any bodies of water with an ease. Due to its already modular nature, upon destroying an enemy vehicle, the crew of the Crocodile can modify its weapon systems using parts salvaged from the debris of the destroyed vehicle. This results in Crocodile's weapon being augmented, until the parts are worn down again the crew is forced to revert to the old weapon systems.

An old Soviet military attack copter adopted by the mercenary forces predominantly in Europe, armed with dual gatling guns and guided anti-tank missiles. The Vulture, despite its aged design sports surprisingly heavy armor combined with decent maneuverability and heavy armament in form of a nose-mounted gatling gun and an array of guided missiles, allowing it to tackle enemy forces not protected by anti-aircraft weapons with deadly efficiency.

The Crimson Crown, not to mention both their benefactors and clients, have many secrets. Some of which have been stolen from others. Many of which are hidden deep in their data vaults. Breaking into one of these vaults and capturing it allows one to unlock additional technology - namely an experimental vehicle known as the Blackout, to utilize on the battlefield. In addition, it provides a limited access to rest of the Crimson Crown's arsenal through shady black market contracts and allows deployment of prototype Disruptor Towers as long as at least a single command center is present on the battlefield.

A processing facility for raw minerals and metals used by Crimson Crown. Capturing it allows any ore miners to deposit their collected materials at it, which will then be exchanged for funds. Unlike the ore refineries constructed by any of the other factions, these ones have additional countermeasures against espionage, not allowing for the theft of any materials or funds. Abandoned Ore Miners can often be found in vicinity of these facilities.

An automated gatling gun turret to secure Crimson Crown locations from potential enemy forces. Deadly versus infantry, although prolonged fire can tear through light vehicle armor as well.

A surface-to-air missile launcher system designated to protect Crimson Crown installations from hostile forces. It is capable of effectively destroying aircraft from a long range.

An ominous tower that emits a special signal that disrupts communications equipment, essentially creating a large blind spot in its vicinity, covering it from radars and other electronic battlefield surveillance equipment. In addition, it has been fitted with sophisticated sensor equipment to detect enemies concealed from naked eye.

Crimson Crown's own black-ops troops. The Regulators are equipped with modern battle gear, powerful assault rifles and anti-tank grenade launchers. They are able to deal with both infantry and lightly armored vehicles alike.

Western Defense Coalition has researched development of a flight-capable combat suit for soldiers to use in the battle. The gear worn by Crimson Crown's Furies is based on, of course, stolen blueprints of such a suit. They are equipped with two fairly potent laser guns, to fry hostile infantry on the ground or take enemy aircraft out from the skies.

Various types of combat exoskeletons, power suits and modern battle gear that muds the line between body armor and the former two have became quite prevalent on the battlefields in past few years, at least if either Western Coalition or Eurasian Dominion has been involved. The Crimson Crown Corrupters wear a battle suit that combines elements from those used by both Western Coalition and Eurasian Dominion. While the suit itself offers the person inside a significant degree of protection from damage and hazards, the truly curious aspect of their gear is the weapon. The namesake 'Corrupter Gun' appears to use some sort of electromagnetic pulse or related phenomena to tear apart metallic constructs, making it very good against vehicles and structures but rather ineffective against infantry targets. In addition, it has been seen momentarily immobilizing targets without proper countermeasures against electronic warfare weapons.

A mineral excavation and collecting vehicle commonly used by Crimson Crown and their clients. Due to the volatile state of the world where conflict and war is a routine, they often end up having to abandon their operations on a whim, and at times must leave their precious equipment behind. For this reason, completely functional Ore Miners can sometimes be found near abandoned mining sites, especially in vicinity of Ore Refineries, able to be put in good use by just a single engineer.

A fast, wheeled vehicle used by the Crimson Crown as an armored personnel carrier. A machine gun mounted on the top of the vehicle is able to provide cover fire, mostly against any hostile infantry.

An anti-aircraft missile system mounted on a light combat vehicle chassis. Despite being mostly useful in engaging airborne targets, the Reaper can use it's missiles to attack ground targets to a variable degrees of success depending on enemy armor strength.

An unorthodox weapon that would be forbidden under many international treaties, if such things would be cared about under current world climate. Liquidator sprays dual streams of a corrosive chemical agent on it's target, making a short of work of infantry as well as many construction materials. Vehicle armor designed to counter anti-armor weapons resists this particular chemical compound rather well, for some unknown reason.

A heavy duty main battle tank constructed based on designs for a next-generation main battle tank stolen from a prominent arms manufacturing company. While not particularly fast-moving, the Slayer makes up for that fact by the virtue of durable composite armor as well as a powerful armor-piercing cannon. The tank is also fitted with a laser target painter, which can be used to mark its target for more accurate fire for a short while.

While conventional artillery has been gradually replaced by various types of missile systems by many military forces, Crimson Crown continues to use self-propelled artillery. The Abolisher retains a lot of mobility due to it's peculiar chassis design while still being capable of wrecking buildings from a distance.

A curious device mounted on a large vehicle, the Nullifier is an experimental weapon based on a same signal-jamming technology used in Disruptor Towers. Nullifier's weapon focuses a beam on a single enemy combatant, which disables all of their weapon systems for as long as the beam is directed on them. While useful for support as well as scouting out unseen enemies using sensor systems mounted on the vehicle, the Nullifier is unable to actually harm any hostile forces by itself and the experimental nature of the vehicle renders it bulky and sluggish.

After emergence of Dominion Catastrophe Tanks on the battlefields, several arms manufacturers began contemplating on superheavy tanks of their own, something that previously had been thought to be infeasible in modern warfare. Crimson Crown, faithful to its modus operandi, has procured a set of blueprints for such a tank and with several modifications to the design, created a viable war machine henceforth known as the Obliterator. A tank of mammoth proportions, Obliterator sports two separate triple-cannon barrels with each capable of delivering a high-explosive payloads over long ranges, providing tremendous firepower. There's also a pair of anti-aircraft laser guns mounted on the tank's turret that are capable of providing cover fire against airborne threats, making Obliterator a nigh-unstoppable assault platform.

An advanced VTOL aircraft based on designs of an unknown origin, the Squall is designed to be a fast-moving gunship capable of dealing with both ground-based as well as airborne threats with a front-mounted heavy machine gun and volleys of heat-seeking anti-armor missiles.

A heavy-duty VTOL assault aircraft based on the same technology used for Squall. While nowhere near as mobile as its aforementioned lightweight counterpart, Tempest makes up for it with a considerably tougher armor plating, more powerful armament and a secret ace-in-the-hole. Tempest is armed with four high-velocity assault cannons and two high-output laser cannons that are able to deal with just about any target, be it on the ground or in air. What makes Tempest really stand apart from other gunship-type aircraft on the field is the fact that the craft has been outfitted with a jamming device similar in nature to the ones used by Nullifiers. Whereas Nullifier uses it to jam any weapons and targeting systems it can, the device on Tempest has been optimized for maximum range and output for disabling any anti-aircraft base defences within a wide area around itself.

Being the Crimson Crown's vision of an ultimate mobile electronic warfare weapon, the Blackout performs several different support functions. First and foremost, the signal inhibitor on board the vehicle will jam enemy radar systems as well as prevents enemy support powers and superweapons from being targeted near it. Secondly, it is capable of using a disruption signal emitter to disable all vehicles susceptible to electronic warfare weapons, robotic units as well as base defenses that are powered in the targeted area. In addition, it sports advanced sensor and detection systems to spot out any cloaked hostile targets that would otherwise go by unnoticed. The vehicle itself is very bulky to sustain all of the advanced equipment and their power needs, as well as heavily armored which results in a somewhat hindered mobility. Combined with the fact that it is not capable of directly harming anyone or anything, means that it requires support from other forces.
