In this post of the Dev Diary we’ll go a bit further on the details and talk about the Humans, one of the races inhabiting the world of Under Siege.

Human race

Although they are one of the youngest races, human technology has quickly surpassed that of several others, giving them an edge when it comes to weaponry and general warfare.

After several wars between the various clans, most humans united under the flag of the Utgard Citadel, established as an impenetrable stronghold in the middle of the Ullar Mountains. Even so, several resistance movements determined to maintain independence still breed constant fighting and humans are often seen as an overly ambitious and honor-less species by the other races.

The Units

 Name: Soldier
Description: Soldiers are the main force of the Citadel army, covered in plate armor and carrying both a sword and a shield, they are prepared to engage any kind of enemy. Soldiers are capable of taunting enemies forcing them to attack and also of blocking melee and ranged attacks using their shields.

 Name: Archer
Description: Human archers are trained since childhood to form the backbone of the Citadel’s defense. Although they wear only a light chain mail under their coats, they excel in showering their enemies in arrows and eliminating them before they can get close enough to use a sword.

Name: Heavy Cannon
Description: Cannon handlers forge their own weapons and treat them as a part of themselves, they are as important to them as an arm or a leg. Respected above all other members of the army because of their great strength, they carry their cannon throughout the battlefield and fire it without ever setting it down, killing several enemies in a single blast.

    it would be great if in a more advanced stage of development you guys let portuguese players be beta testers =)

    i dont think we can see many RTT games nowadays, most of games of this genre are RTS… base idea is good and i bet the game is even better =D

    continuem o bom trabalho, compra certinha!

    Excellent artwork and concept art! The archer and heavy cannon models look great. I think the soldier appearance is a little awkward and different from the game concept though.

    Keep up the awesome work. Waiting for gameplay videos.
