Today we’re taking a look at our first faction, Global Risk. Get to know their play-style and maybe see what kind of commander you will become.
Global Risk
Global Risk is a mercenary organization commissioned by world governments to settle global cases and disputes while maintaining their control over the planet's resources. They style themselves as the “good guys”/counter-terrorist faction that stands in opposition to the forces of Black List (We’ll explore them in the next DevBlog).
Global Risk was founded by former members of special operations forces to end meaningless war and bring justice. With these objectives always in mind, Global Risk is legitimized by larger states, but are not limited by their clients' inefficiencies. Relying on their military expertise and corporate dominance, Global Risk is rich in funds and technology that they use to further solidify their status as the keepers of global order.
Global Risk’s combat strategy relies on maintaining distance from their opponent. They have a wide range of specialized units which, when used together in combined arms, can be a deadly combo to deal with. Using their numbers and relentlessness, Global Risk often finds that by the time one wave has nearly fallen in battle, a second has arrived and is ready to provide support.
Bringing their own twist to the doctrines of Global Risk, you will choose from these three commanders.
Global Risk Commanders:
Cardinal
is the “fixer”, the commander to turn to when all seems lost. A veteran, who rallies troops to fight more effectively. He knows not to let emotions get in the way of the mission, but struggles to keep his calm.
Fire At Will Ability: Launches an artillery barrage into the target area. The rounds deal massive damage to any enemies or structures caught in the blast radius.
Rally Ability: Targeted area grants a temporary rate-of-fire bonus and heals friendly units.
Eclipse
is Cardinal’s XO. She grows more pragmatic about the difference she can make in the world, but believes in Cardinal’s ability to lead Global Risk to victory. She specializes in quickly maneuvering her troops to capture key objectives or set up ambushes.
Mobilize Ability: Target unit gains an aura that gives it and friendly units a temporary speed bonus. The boost is increased when the unit(s) are out of combat.
Suppressive Bombardment Ability: Calls down a precision bombing run on the target area, dealing massive damage to enemy ground units.
Warden
initially took the reins of Global Risk, he’s defensive specialist who can quickly deploy fortifications to protect his troops.
Forward Operating Base Ability: Deploys an artillery base to the target location. This self-destructs when its energy runs out. Nearby Field Defensive fortifications deploy a turret while the base is present.
Field Defense Ability: Deploys a fortification that reduces incoming damage to nearby allies. The fortification is temporarily upgraded with a weapon when a Forward Operations Base is nearby.

That’s all for now, but don’t forget the roadmap of what’s to come. We’re ploughing our way towards Early Access in the Spring of 2022.
We’ll be back with a look at Black List on Tuesday January 27th. Until then, stay tuned to our social spaces, get to know the community and prepare yourself and your friends for the battles of tomorrow. Remember, hesitation is your first enemy and your choices will decide the outcome before the 1st shot is even fired.
