Cloudspire: Shada – Faction Expansion (English)

Ankar is against you

The Shada is a powerful new element-based faction that takes advantage of terrain differences like no other faction ever has. Each shada minion has a specific type of terrain it can move on in addition to the path, forcing you and your opponents to view the map differently and take advantage of each unique layout.

In addition to unique terrain movement abilities, each minion has a special ability that they can take advantage of while on that terrain. Faction spiers also benefit from specific terrain placement, which increases their abilities and promotes strategic tile control and variety. Terrain bonuses become even deadlier with fortress upgrades that combine boosted CP and multi-terrain types with the arrow slot.

Combine your forces

The shada has a unique promotion system in which their four basic minion types (stone, wind, fire, and water) can combine with each other and form new, unique and powerful minions. Fire and water become vapor, and wind and stone become dust. These new minions have new abilities and terrain allocations, and their wide variety of combinations allows you to adapt your Strategy to each new opponent.

Upgrades to your fortress will also improve your combination abilities, allowing you new opportunities and Source rewards for combining units. The ambitious shada player can even grab the bioweapon die, allowing them to combine already promoted units for explosive results!
