As development on CW has officially ended, we wanted to also take the opportunity to show all the memes the team has come up with during the development of the game, because we think it's funny enough to be worth sharing.

The Guard does not yield, nor does it flee! Imperial Guards are the elites of the Vastragian Empire's army, trained to work alongside steam vehicles and artillery. With black powder and bayonet, they stand ready to clear Royal troops!

The Kingdom adapts quickly. Attacks by melee troops has given rise to a new class of soldiers, the auxiliary sapper. Armed with shields, grenades and fire-spewing pistols, these more than make up for their lack of strength in close-quarter combat.

New enemies appear on the horizon, loyal to neither of the great two factions. These strange beasts slay Imperials and Royals alike, with few of them killed in turn. The troops have taken to simply calling them "kaitek."

The very last unit showcase as Cataclysm Wars' release is only two days away!
Royal Cannons are the strongest artillery available to the Kingdom. With the calculating mind and supreme strength of syrinx, their shells inflict harrowing damage to your units. Better stay on guard! #indiegame

This time showcasing the Pureblood Cavalry, fearsome war gryphs clad in thick steel and able to tear through Imperial lines. It will take great firepower to bring down one of these monsters!

Considered the very best, perhaps even amongst the Imperial army, your upgraded bodyguards are willing to lay down their lives to protect you in battle.
Through fire and steel, clad in the best of armors, they are both your protectors and the hammer to your troops' anvil.

Given even better shields and armor alongside another bodyguard, this command squad will take concerted efforts to reach, and more importantly, neutralize.

Hello all! As we get closer to release, we once again present another unit in Cataclysm Wars!
Auxiliaries possess their own artillery, able to be towed by their ostriches and providing accurate support to their own troops. Though lightweight, they are threatening all the same!

Syrinx Heavy Cavalry is composed of fearsome gryph, already able to tear a man apart limb from limb, upon which rides a lance-armed owl rider.

When your militia finally got access to Imperial torpedoes, there was more than enough ammunition, but not enough launchers.
As such, existing mortars were modified to fit the new projectiles, giving them range and explosive power almost at the level of the Army's own artillery

Despite teeming masses of auxiliaries and ever increasing syrinx units, artillery remains the great equalizer of the battlefield.
Shortening the old bombards and mounting them on new carriages alongside explosive shells promises to level the playing field against the Royal Army!

Forced to make do with leftover weaponry, your militia has taken to pressing back old bombards on improvised carriages into ad-hoc artillery.
Still more than able to kill, it is a precious unit that can make or break an offensive. Take good care of it on the battlefield!

The Kingdom never leaves even its weakest troops behind. Auxiliaries deployed to the front line are often given advanced armor, magazine-fed crossbows and pistols.
Though still diminutive, such equipment evens the field against even Imperial army troops, to their dismay.

Though auxiliaries form the bulk of the royal army, they are not to be underestimated. Mounting speedy two-legged animals barely seen by Imperials, they dart across difficult terrain as deftly as their riders would on foot.
Officers must remain wary of flanking attemps by them!

Gnolls are too powerful and useful to an overburdened militia to be left shackled. Armored as to shrug off most ranged fire and able to tear an owl to shreds, Freed Gnolls are perhaps your best option against the syrinx.
Your own soldiers, however, will surely be terrified by it
