Atre: Dominance Wars is a new 4X real-time strategy (RTS) game currently under development in Croatia. Inspired by classics like Heroes of Might and Magic and Age of Wonders, it seeks to revive nostalgic strategy elements while introducing a dynamic world, unique races, and deep strategic gameplay. This title will be available for PC via Steam.

One of the unique races in the game is the Menar, a faction from the magical world of Men. Their world is green and lush, surrounded by dense forests, but a dark secret lies beneath this beauty. To avoid extinction, the Menar corrupted their souls with magic, drawing fury from the dimension of Haad. These warriors are fearless and willing to do anything to ensure their survival.

Menar Military Units

• Menar Um – These melee fighters are infused with the essence of the mother root. Though they lost their natural connection, they gained resistance to fear, making them exceptionally durable warriors.
• Menar Ka – Powerful cavalry armored in dark plate, magically fused with wraith energy, making them deadly and nearly indestructible in combat.
• Un Menar Ka – Death cavalry whose armor is infused with spiritual energy, while their souls are bound by Tars Muna wraiths. Their powerful charge crushes enemies with sheer force.

Players can explore and use powerful transformation spells to enhance their units and gain additional abilities:

• Um – Consciousness – Grants resistance to Terror and Assassins by absorbing the essence of the mother root.
• Un – Terror – Inflicts Terror on all enemy units by binding the warrior’s soul to a Tars Muna wraith.
• Ka – Weapons Master – Infuses weapons and armor with spiritual essence, creating unparalleled melee fighters.

Menar Settlements and Regional Specialization

Menar settlements have four upgrade levels, allowing players to expand their population, unlock new specializations, and build defensive walls around their regions. Each region offers different buildings that impact warfare, economy, or magic:

• Barracks – Increases unit production, allowing for faster creation of larger armies.
• Abode – Encourages population growth, creating more followers and increasing the faction’s power.
• Temple – Increases mana generation speed, enabling players to cast more powerful spells.

One of the most exciting features of Atre: Dominance Wars is the Level Editor, which will be available at launch. This tool will allow players to create their own maps and share them with the community, ensuring endless gameplay and creativity. More details about the Level Editor will be revealed as development progresses.
