The Warp-Beasts

The Warp-Beasts are a playable faction in War for Uzunda. The Warp-Beasts are a zealous horde of mutants that have embraced the mutative properties of the Warp, coming to worship it and expose themselves to it purposefully. United under a cultist hierarchy, the Warp-Beasts seek to spread this "gift" to all peoples of Uzunda and slay those who would oppose the Warp.

Gameplay & Mechanics

 * The Warp-Beasts are a primitive people, having little reliance on technology to thrive due to their mutant strength and endurance.
 * Research of technology is not a priority of theirs but can unlock access to powerful Warp Magic, including the ability to predict or control the movement of the Warp.
 * The Warp-Beasts can be reliant upon the presence of the Warp to properly mutate and augment their forces. The weather patterns of the Warp can thus cripple or reinforce a Warp-Beast army, often forcing the Beasts to attack specific locations or in specific patterns.
 * The Beasts are resistant to the harmful effects of the Warp due to decades of exposure. However, they are very susceptible to mutation, and sometimes reliant on this process to grow and strengthen their soldiers without proper technology.
 * The Warp-Beasts have little grasp of architecture, and possess some of the worst buildings in the game. Rarely more complicated than shacks and tents, Warp-Beast settlements are typically poorly reinforced if often blanketed in harmful Warp energies.
 * The Warp-Beasts utilize three resources: Metal, Food and Warp.
 * Metal is used to construct structures and train certain units.
 * Food is used to increase population and train units.
 * Warp is used to train all units and
