Taronan Retribution Demo Scenario is out!

Its a (somewhat) short scenario map that showcases some of the new units/heroes and give you a taste of how scenarios will look, feel and play in the final release of Taronan Retribution.

Lazzio is one of the most prominent officers of the Condottieri Militia of Corbanile, as his battle experience is second to none among their ranks. During the Great War, he, under the command of the fearless General Battaglion, fought the Doge and his puppets, traversing almost the entire Vinci lands in the process and raising the Mianan flag on the rubble of Doge's capital. Later, he would be amidst the few Vinci soldiers continuing Giacomo's struggle across the heated sands of the Kalahese desert. His records there are said to be enormous. as he not only endured the harshest tests of Aio's nature but also took part in the final battle between Giacomo and the Doge at the ancient city of Mezekesh, where, ultimately, he lost his right hand and decided to return back to Corbanile, bidding farewell to the shredded remains of his unit.

His supposed retirement at home, however, did not happen. Corbanile was in the middle of extremely rapid industrialization, and Leopoldo, the new magistrate of state, was in charge of it. However, Leopoldo's efforts required vast amounts of cheap working hands, which was quite hard to achieve in a province with small population concentrated in just a few mining cities. In order to fix that, Leopoldo enforced strict policies upon the local Condottieri bandits, driving these war-torn raiders and brigands into imprisonment and forced labour. Yet, Leopoldo's goal in mind wasn't just cleansing the land of crime, but more so removing the Condottieri in order to have undoubtful military power in the entire region.

Soon enough even the veterans of the Great War were getting forced intro prisons, as Corbanilian land turned into one gigantic factory in control of a man with unknown yet surely dubious motivs. Not wanting to give up nor his former brothers in arms, not his state, Lazzio decided to organize an open revolt, forming the new Corbanilian Condottieri Militia and taking up arms against Leopoldo and his rule.

Lazzio, Condottieri Brigadier

A well known Condottieri officer from Corbanile. His military records are quite formidable, but he wishes not to talk about his life during the Great War.

Before the war between Venucci and Miana broke out, Roberto was the best diplomat and one of the closest friends of Dante, the previous Viscount of Tarona. Being a loyal patriot of his homeland and reluctant to see Tarona become a vassal of Miana, he acted swiftly after the death of Petruzzo, advising Dante to declare Tarona independent. However, this attempt turned out to be a complete failure, as Giacomo, new Mianan lord, not only suppressed the Tarona military forces, but also killed Dante, taking the city under complete Mianan control. That said, Roberto was able to escape execution and secretly stay in Tarona, coming up with plans and gathering loyal people to seize the rule of Tarona. And that day has finally come. After Giacomo captured Venucci, the Doge was able to escape and reach Miana first, destroying the city with the giant siege cannon - so called "Doge's Hammer". As soon as Giacomo began chasing the Doge deep into the desert, Roberto ordered his militia to march on Tarona, smashing the city's scattered garrison and proudly declaring Tarona independent again. Since after the fall of Miana the Vinci lands plunged into chaos again, Tarona was almost ignored by Pirata and remaining Mianans forces, which benefited Roberto, since he was able to begin the restoration of Tarona's industry and army. He declared himself the new Viscount of Tarona, promising his people to keep Tarona independent and safe. However, after the death of Giacomo and Lenora's return to Pirata, it became clear that this shaky peace would no longer last.

Roberto, Viscount of Tarona

* His last ability is "Inspiration Flag", which creates a big flag that buffs all friendly units (attack, speed, health and range buffs if to be specific) around it for a big amount of time.
