Age of Wonder Planetfall - The Amazons

the amazons
An expedition of bio-engineers found themselves trapped on an untamed planet when the Star Union collapsed.

In order to survive, the terraformers resorted to their own experimental genetic alterations.

Now, generations later, they have resurfaces as The Amazons - an all-female species who have grown to master and exploit their surroundings.

With the re-emergence of interstellar travel, the Amazons have detected new threats to their symbiosis, and have mobilized to fight those enemies with their highly mobile and stealthy forces.

Accompanied by the genetically engineered alien lifeforms who carry out their will.

The Amazons Skills

  • Amazons thrive in forested sectors and can use the "Rapid Reforestation" technique to spread forest sectors and revitalize wastelands through terraforming.
  • Amazons move fast through such terrain, which most other enemies and factions do not.
  • They can also overgrow enemy colonies to reduce their food income by using "Entangling Overgrowth."
  • Their mastery of nature allows them to expand their colonies quickly, using doctrines like "Progressive Cultivation" and "Ecological Construction" to get extra food and extra production respectively, or "Selective Breeding" to produce cheaper animal and mounted units.
  • This growth can also be used to harm their enemies: "Introduce Predators" will spawn a nest of genetically modified beasts in target sectors.
  • In combat, the Amazons make use of "Field Plynons", immobile structures that can heal, buff, or call wildlife to come to battle their enemies.

The Amazon Units

They have a wide variety of units based on their mastery of nature, like:
  • The huntress, a camouflaged unit with an energy bow, equipped with two different arrowheads for more versatility on the battlefield.
  • The Shrike, an alien bird that acts as a scout, with a laser repeater cannon to keep other aerial units at bay.
  • The Arborian Sentinel, a genetically constructed plant-like creature that can entangle enemies.
  • The Biomancer, capable of scanning lifeforms for weaknesses.
  • The Tyrannodon - a massive alien monster with a roar terrifying enough to cause panic. Plus, the Amazons put a laser on its head.
With the Void storms subsiding and once again making interstellar travel possible, the biotech goddesses of the Amazon have set out to the blasted worlds of the Star Union to establish new natural paradises.

Try not to get in their way.
