Order of Zelevas

Rogue Kin who trade fortifications for conquest — expansion itself is their power.

Rogue faction

Rogue variant of Kin of Sheredyn

Free with 1.0 release

Overview

The Order broke away from the Kin of Sheredyn under the leadership of Imperator Vecc. They remain loyal to the United Empire and Emperor Zelevas, and seek to conquer all of Saiadha to bring it under imperial control.

Playstyle

A more aggressive, expansionist take on the Kin of Sheredyn. Where the parent faction develops and fortifies, the Order expands: territory itself unlocks their powers, and at the highest tier their city cap is removed entirely — a late-game snowball that ignores traditional expansion pacing.

Strengths and weaknesses

Strengths

  • Faction affinity unlocks powers through territory expansion instead of capital fortifications
  • Highest unlock tier completely removes the city cap
  • Unique infrastructures give bonuses for each city center and ministry
  • Free cavalry unit whenever they construct a Keep
  • Recruit all units instantly with Dust
  • Cavalry-focused combat that throws itself into the enemy and weathers counterattacks with shields

Weaknesses

  • Give up the Kin's fortification game and level 3 districts
  • Power curve depends on constant expansion — stalled borders mean stalled affinity

Unique mechanics

Territory-driven affinity

Instead of unlocking new abilities through stronger fortifications in their capital, the Order gains them from expanding their territory — with different bonuses for each unlock, culminating in the complete removal of their city cap.

Centers of power

Many of their unique infrastructures give bonuses for each city center and ministry you own. They have no access to the level 3 districts of their kin — but their districts level up easily when placed near their centers of power.

Shock cavalry

The Kin's focus on tight defensive formations is replaced with cavalry that throw themselves into the enemy. The Order gains a free cavalry unit any time they construct a Keep, and recruits all units instantly with Dust.
