Let's get closer, you'll see the process in more detail and see for yourself that our Baron is the wisest, and his ideas are the embodiment of perfection.

Continuing our journey through our domains, I will show you a few more key objects that reflect the power and grandeur of our House. Watch closely and don't blink in astonishment, for what you will see is not for mere mortals. This is our Refinery.

- Factions of the Barkhan World: Part 5, in Crimson Tone. Base arrangement - 28 June 2024
Rise and shine, maggot! Today is a glorious day when all your trials are completed, and our great lord, the Baron, has allowed me to give you an introductory tour. I will show you the main structures created by the best architects and engineers of our House. You are incredibly lucky - not everyone gets such an honor. Many of your predecessors did not live to see this day. You will witness the grandeur and power of our domains, so you can later tell your less intelligent friends about what you saw.

- Factions of the Barkhan World: Part 4, in Crimson Tone. Special - 23 June 2023
Today's review will focus on specialized military equipment designed to carry out special tasks on the battlefield. First on the list is the "Eradicator," a deadly artillery system that outstrips all competitors in its class in terms of firing range. This formidable machine was conceived before the onset of the conflict. Its development was frozen for a long time, but was revived due to the demands of wartime. The original concept was so successful that even years later, it did not become outdated. This allowed the "Eradicator" to integrate components from other, more modern technology, such as a powerful three thousand horsepower engine from a storm tank and a transmission from the "Behemoth" assault transport. The most challenging part was the development of ammunition. Modern warfare has pushed enemies in technological progress. The destructive power of obsolete shells was deemed ins…
- Powerful Factions of the Barkhan World: Part 3, in Crimson Tone. Defense - 9 June 2023
The security of your base plays a pivotal role in the gameplay, and neglecting this aspect would be unwise. In doing so, you expose yourself not only to the risk of unexpected attacks on vulnerable rear areas but also to the danger of enemy diversions capable of destroying key structures on your territory. Defensive structures, including walls and turrets, act as your reliable shield for defense and base development. When strategically positioned, they can effectively withstand even massive enemy attacks. The crowning achievement of this faction's defensive technologies is the Monument – an impressive combat complex with a powerful energy generator. This colossal structure is equally effective against ground and aerial threats, capable of inflicting devastating damage upon enemy forces. The Monument's mighty energy beam can reduce light targets to ashes and effortlessly burn through hea…
- Factions of the Barkhan World: Part 2, in Crimson Tone. Infantry - 2 June 2023
Today, we continue introducing you to the units of the faction we reviewed last time. Its infantry rightfully deserves the title of Elite. They are the most protected of all the infantry units across all factions. Only a few survive ruthless multi-year training on planets harsh for life, and they can continue specialization. Many die during this training, others go mad from harsh training programs. Only the chosen ones have the great honor of wearing special ultra-protected armor, made from the rarest materials found on remote planets. These are hardened warriors, fanatically loyal to their lord. With their self-preservation instinct reduced to a minimum, they become perfect fighters. These infantrymen unhesitatingly go into battle, crushing everything in their path. The rigorous training and expensive gear of this elite infantry impact its numbers. The infantry has various specializati…

Welcome, friends! Today we begin to introduce you to the warring factions of the world of "Barkhan". The first hero of our story is a faction that was introduced in the demo version of the game as an enemy. Many of you have already seen them in action and have experienced the full power of their heavy armored vehicles. So... The approaching rumble and clatter of mighty caterpillars instill fear and trembling in the enemy: Volcano: this is a fast and maneuverable combat vehicle equipped with a twin large-caliber machine gun. An excellent choice for quick attacks and supporting the main forces on the battlefield. Inferno: this tank is equipped with two heavy flamethrowers and powerful armor. It's a formidable foe for lightly armored forces, especially for infantry, which it can turn to ashes. Minotaur: a gigantic tank comparable in size to a small rock, tops the list of the largest ground…
