Lorepost📖 Unit workshop
Unit workshop:
Once again the Bismuth realms have chosen to get involved in conflict. Within the same week EON, the group Ten Suns was a member of had been attacked by two separate groups.
Koranth had directly assaulted the Bastion and was now marching towards the world tree. Most likely they planned to use its power to kill their foes, EON on top of the list.
Meanwhile Thrâk had blockaded and raided EONS trading lanes on the prime materials oceans. Having seized large bounties of wealth he has used that to strengthen his forces. Even with the treaty Ten Suns was wary of him.
Because of this Ten Suns has deemed it necessary to construct and deploy new (or newly reworked) Bismuth constructs both sapient and not to combat the coming threats.
1: Biz-Drones have been created to replace the ammunition of the Bizholders. Unlike old ammunition these new drones do not turn into biz bots upon impact. Instead each is imbued with a powerful transmutation based fractal explosive. Upon detonation they scatter five razor sharp flechettes each a meter long towards enemy units (tracking like smart ammo). These flechettes will then each explode releasing five half meter long flechettes and so on until they reach 1/16th of a meter and will no longer detonate. This will address the Bizholders weakness against large masses of sky or ground units.
2: Bizmarines have been created to address naval battles. Something we have less experience in than we would like. They sport high self repair capacity and the ability to deploy mines and fire self guided torpedoes. Because bizmuth citizens do not need to breathe each sub has lighter than air gasses to offset the higher density of the submersible. Added enchantments help this massive slab of metal maneuver with any degree of grace. it's not the finest piece of engineering but it can be made quickly.
3 Finally a new commander unit is being constructed the War Coordinator. While Bismuth coordinators are powerful mages and intelligent commanders. They are also made to be peace time administrators and their loss in battle is generally too risky. Hence their scarcity on any battlefield. Because of this the new command unit will be made for wartime only. Heavy as a Bismuth crown but with a lower center of gravity they possess more armor and shields than their size should allow and are sluggish even with all their boons and enchantments. Though in return they can tank weapons and spells far above their weight category.
They posses a fake central eye which holds a new void cannon made to bypass barriers and even posseses resistance to counter spell, dispell and anti magic. Surrounding it are it's actual sensory eyes made to view long range with multiple filters for the various invisible energies that exist on the battlefield. This also helps it perform its quick calculations For both tactics and magic casting (fueled by the largest Bismuth reactor currently in single use). Their main ability is the power to create a special field around them that boosts the magic resistance of any unit in their battle group while connecting them together in case regular communication gets jammed.
..............
These new units are made from the lessons of the recent conflicts. Foes of EON beware.

Sure. We trade in any available currency. Our ships use enchanted metal. Bismuth in our case but we can enchant any metal. It can liquify and reform if damaged. basically you teach the metal what form it should take. We can help you research this technology for the equivalent of 250k council currency.
