From the cannibalistic undying cyborgs of The Assembly scavenging for raw organic materials to the once enslaved insectoid Kir'Ko, liberated from galactic slavery at the cost of their hivemind. New factions have arisen from ashes of isolation as the galaxy's inhabitants were forced to evolve. But this is the dawning of a new and different era. Now, centuries later, as suddenly as it begun, the storm has passed and the pathways to the stars have opened once more. Then a mysterious cataclysm struck without warning, causing a storm of chaos that disabled all interstellar travel which left many colonies stranded on harsh worlds cut off from one another and leaving the Star Union in shambles. Once it was home to a vast empire of wealth and wonder, with the Star Union serving as the crown jewel for this era of expansion and exploration. Heritor: The ark is mineral, but the other units are all cyborgs so they benefit from Assembly unit mods.AGE OF WONDERS: PLANETFALL is set in a galaxy that's trying to rebuild. ALL cyborg units can take on Xenoplague unit mods. Echo walkers have assimilate, phase manipulator can be enhanced with arc weapon mods. Voidtech: Only the rift generator can't benefit from Assembly weapon mods. All cyborgs are integrated without requiring expenditure of a synthesis unit mod. On the plus side, all of the tech units benefit from Assembly weapon mods. Synthesis: Too much overlap with the arc weapon tree. The mechanical units can benefit from Assembly unit mods. All Assembly produced Psynumbra units generate a free unit upon death, which is fine provided the corpse remains and there's a reverse engineer and/or reassembly module in play. Get the strategic operations and all those 'free' colonists are going to be recycled using the Assembly reprocess colonist tech. The way I see it (and this is but a short summary of what there possibly is):Ĭelestian: Psionic and thermal damage channels. There's no 'best' tech, some combinations give obvious synergies while others bring utility which is otherwise not available. Voidtech as already mentioned is a good fit. If you have the DLC content Heritor is a good fit since the all but one of the tech units are cyborgs.
