Meglarak Regency

**Dev. Status** | Conceptual

(WIP)

Rolling upon giant land aircraft carriers/citadels known as Siege Engines. The Meglarak initially deploys cheap, fast, and hard hitting infantry and vehicles to capture territory and overwhelm light defenses in what is known as “Kalcutta”, which roughly translates to “lightning war”, better known as “blitzkrieg” thanks to the Germans. Before slowly shifting to slower, tougher forces as the enemy defences are reinforced as their blitzkrieg forces dig in and besiege the enemy, all while being supported by wings of hovering gunships and a few, but deadly, fixed wing jets launched directly from the Siege Engine.

## Gameplay

### Build Mechanic

The Meglarak entire army is built from the Siege Engine, a giant machine and literal moving fortress that serve as a self-contained base. Siege Engine initially starts out rather weak but can be upgraded that, when deployed and properly upgraded, is capable of producing any unit in the Meglarak arsenal. Basically, it’s a rolling base. When packed up, it has similar capabilities to the MCV, but can be upgraded with improved defensive and offensive power. Siege Engines can only be built via a protocol, and each will have to be individually upgraded. But if all Siege Engines are destroyed the Regency will cut their losses and retreat.

### Build Mechanic

Since all of the Meglarak productions are solely within the Siege Engine instead of structures. Their Field Generators are built to instead bring their defenses/siege emplacements up to full power. Compared to other powerplants the Field Generators are instantly built at extremely cheap price but, outside of its forcefield, much frailer as a result. And compared t other powerplants the Field Generator doesn't provide power but instead power up nearby defences.

### Defense

Rather than use the Siege Engine to create defenses. The Meglarak instead uses Besieger to plant down siege hubs which all of the Meglarak defenses are built on, which can be further upgraded to hold tier 2-4 defenses, though a Siege Engine must be an equal or higher tier before it can do so. Compared to how other faction builds their defenses this allows the Meglarak to build defences in seconds. But the time it takes for the defense to build on these hubs is rather long, where its easy to be shot apart, and without a nearby field generator the defence would either only work at half capacity (tier 1) or completely shut down (tier 2-4).

### Vehicles

All Meglarak vehicles are robots (living robots in the case of the Megatroids). Making them resistant to most morale effects but are more vulnerable to EMP.

## Behind the Scenes

Their army is based on Black Hole from Advanced Wars. And their species composing of evil aliens that are not from 80s to 90s movie like the Ecumene. What this means is that their alies are based on more modern work and video games, the main ones being the invaders from XCOM, the covenant from Halo, and the Decepticons from Transformers (in fact they are split off from the Autobots who forms their own heroic faction).
