Saradominist Kingdoms Unit Preview
This is the first faction unit preview. These previews will not contain the spellcasters though as I will probably add them much later when I have learned how to make animations. The units shown in this article will be playable for the alpha (with maybe an exception for the lions because they do seem to make the game crash quite a lot).
The armies of Saradomin are composed of 4 races: The Icyene, Humans, Centaurs and Dwarves. Saradomin's army finds its strenght in a fast selection of both infantry and cavalry. At the end of the article there is a video with how all the units look in game. It also includes the heroes that are available for the alpha.
Infantry:
Saradominist Spearmen
Humans are Saradomin's most numerous followers making up a big part of the army. They can be recruited from almost any corner of the kingdoms that worship Saradomin. These humans are equipped with spear and shield.
Saradominist Swordsmen
Humans are Saradomin's most numerous followers making up a big part of the army. They can be recruited from almost any corner of the kingdoms that worship Saradomin. These humans are equipped with sword and shield.
Knights of Saradomin
Humans are Saradomin's most numerous followers making up a big part of the army. They can be recruited from almost any corner of the kingdoms that worship Saradomin. The Knights of Saradomin are unlike most of their kin a far more reliable unit to strike the enemies of Saradomin.
Templars of Saradomin
Humans are Saradomin's most numerous followers making up a big part of the army. They can be recruited from almost any corner of the kingdoms that worship Saradomin. Unlike the knight the templars focus on defense making them an excellent choice for Saradomin's vanguard.
Temple Knights
The Temple Knights are an order established by Saradomin himself of some of the most devout Saradominists who defend the first temple of Saradomin of Gielinor.
Justiciars
Hallowland is well known for the might of its Icyene population but the strenght of its human inhabitants should not be underestimated as they have produced an elite militairy unit: the justiciars. These enforcers of Saradomin's will are the finest warrior produced by the humans of Hallowland.
Imcando Warriors
The dwarf race was cursed by Zamorak to serve him if they were to use their magic, some however were saved from this curse by Saradomin allowing them to use their magic without being corrupted. These Imcando Dwarfs are some of the sturdiest followers of Saradomin.
Imcando Axeman
The dwarf race was cursed by Zamorak to serve him if they were to use their magic, some however were saved from this curse by Saradomin allowing them to use their magic without being corrupted. The lords of these Imcando Dwarves are able to make some of the strongest weapons with their magic, using a big axe to break their enemies.
Icyene Champions
Icyene are the most powerfull followers of Saradomin, brought by him to Gielinor from their homeworld of New Domina. The Icyene Queen Efaritay Hallow rules Hallowland from the capital Halowvale. The Champions of the Icyene are the strongest infantry the Saradomin can deploy.
Missile:

The Icyene Sentinels are the Saradiominists' finest archer using their deadly magic bow to rain death upon their enemies.
Cavalry:
Justiciars Paladins
Hallowland is well known for the might of its Icyene population but the strenght of its human inhabitants should not be underestimated as they have produced an elite militairy unit: the justiciars. The justiciar Paladins can easily break enemy lions mounted on their unicorns.
Lions of Saradomin
The lions of Saradomin can easily devour most of their enemies, the most loyal animal to Saradomin

Centaurs are originally from the Enchanted Valley but were brought to Gielinor by Saradomin. These fine warriors form the backbone of Saradomin's cavalry.

Champions of Saradomin
The champions of Saradomin are the most elite of the centaurs who are both capable of firing deadly shots and breaching enemy lines with their lances.
Beautiful faction and units. So cute. I can prove that these awesome lions were a serious technological breaktrough.
They lions sure are! and thanks :)
It's like guest from our childhood. Charming visuals!
I am glad you enjoy it, more nostalgia is to come soon :)
Loving the looks of this faction, and I've watched all three videos now.
This faction had the best looking units i think.
The old graphics have a certain charm.
Thanks^^, I am adding some extra subtle textures similair to how runescape looked like in 08-11. I think then it will all look perfect together.
So interesting! Coming soon?
There's both very good (alpha release) and some bad news. I'll do an announcement in one of the coming days. It won't take that long for the alpha to be released :)
