• Unit of the Week: Flying Fortress •

13 October 2008

Dragons are squishy. They bleed, they get tired, and they occasionally mistake one of their smaller allies for a tasty snack. Who needs 'em? The Machine faction has enlisted its brightest engineers to invent an impregnable fortress far tougher than any organic creature- and yes, it can fly.

The dwarves have crafted this machine to withstand almost anything; it has a base HP of 4400 and a DR of 36, the highest of any unit in the game. The flying fortress's special also allows it to offer additional support by deploying dwarven ground troops. Other nations are free to try that sort of thing with their dragons, but it's unlikely to end well.

If you're itching to get your hands on one of these steel beauties, there's good news: from now on, all Unit of the Week cards are twice as likely to drop during the first week of release. Be on the look-out for the flying fortress this Wednesday.

Minor footnote: For this next week, the Dark Elf Assassin will also drop double, since the unit was introduced last week at a normal drop rate.
