Voltaire History
Voltaire, The City of Gates, is an ancient and thriving city nestled on the island of Corsica, west of the Italian Peninsula. Its founding is steeped in myth and legend, attributed to a visionary leader named Aeneas, who fled the catastrophic wars of Nemia to the east. Drawing upon hidden and mysterious magic, Aeneas and his followers forged a network of gates, portals capable of instantaneously bridging vast distances. This technological marvel swiftly propelled Voltaire into prominence as a dominant military and mercantile power in the Mediterranean.
Unlike other empires driven by conquest, Voltaire’s influence spreads through diplomacy and ingenuity. The city is renowned for its “Gate Truces,” agreements with neighboring powers that grant access to the gates. These arrangements have established Voltaire as an indispensable hub of commerce and culture, linking distant lands and fostering prosperity throughout the world. The gates of Voltaire stand not only as symbols of its unmatched innovation but also as the lifeblood of an interconnected world.
Voltaire Playstyle
Voltaire is a dominant economic force in the world of Terra Indomita, and its playstyle reflects this. Known as the City of Gates, Voltaire harnesses gate magic to achieve unparalleled mobility on the battlefield. Its standardized, cost-efficient legionaries form the backbone of its army, each fulfilling a slightly specialized role. These legions are bolstered by a diverse array of supporting units, from Gnomish auxiliaries to the devastating Mana Tank. Few can endure the precise and disciplined attacks of the Legions of Voltaire.
Legions and Auxiliaries
Legionaries and auxiliaries are well-balanced units designed to control the battle line with solid stats and abilities that influence movement.
Gnomes
Similar to dwarves, gnomes are slower than most units but compensate with higher stats per gold. These cost-efficient units are invaluable for gaining control early in the game.
Citizens
Citizens take an economic approach to warfare, with many of their abilities focused on bolstering the economy.
Gate Cultists
In Voltaire, few inspire more fear than the Gate Cult. As worshippers and zealous protectors of the arcane gate magic, they are a formidable force to be reckoned with.
