Story
= = = = = = = = = =
This section tells the story for each race featured in the game.
- - - - -
Tha' Roon
- - - - -
The Tha'Roon have always been in charge. The Eaggra have always been
their slaves and the Obblinox have always been their allies. And they
want to keep it that way. They will kill anyone who gets in their way
so long as they can maintain absolute power over the planet.
- - - - -
Obblinox
- - - - -
The Obblinox are the brute force behind the Tha'Roon. They are the
warriors that have kept the Tha'Roon alive and prosperous. However now
they wish to be free, even if it means destroying their allies.
- - - -
Eaggra
- - - -
The Eaggra are the alien equivalent of the original Native Americans.
They live off the land and wish only to be left to themselves. But the
Tha'Roon began to enslave the Eaggra and now they are fighting back.
They will fight as long as it takes to be free once again.
- - - - - -
Shama' Li
- - - - - -
The Shama' Li want nothing more but to keep the peace and unite the
four races. While they will use force when necessary they are usually
kind and peaceful. While they have the hardest quest of all the Shama'
Li also have the most unique and interesting one as well.

This section covers the advantages, disadvantages and of the various
races.
- - - - -
Tha' Roon
- - - - -
Building Power: Above Average
Fighting Power: Average
Magic Power: Below Average
Unit Diversity: Average
Speed: Average
Difficulty: Easy
Other notes: The Tha'Roon are the best choice for your first time
playing through War Wind. Their missions are straightforward and fairly
easy.
- - - - -
Obblinox
- - - - -
Building Power: Poor
Fighting Power: Excellent
Magic Power: Slightly Below Average
Unit Diversity: Below Average
Speed: Below Average
Difficulty: Medium
Other Notes: While their stats might make it seem otherwise the
Obblinox also have fairly easy quests. Slightly more difficult than the
Tha'Roon and a nice alternative if you're familiar with strategy games
but are new to War Wind.
- - - - - -
Eaggra
- - - - - -
Building Power: Excellent
Fighting Power: Below Average
Magic Power: Above Average
Speed: Poor
Difficulty: Hard
Other Notes: The 2nd hardest race to play as. They're fighters are
fairly powerful but their slowness makes it hard to completely take
advantage of them. They're the best builders. I recommend their quest
for people who have beaten it with the Obblinox and/or Tha'Roon once or
twice.
- - - - -
Shama' Li
- - - - -
Building Power: Below Average
Fighting Power: Above Average
Magic Power: Above Average
Speed: Average
Unit Diversity: Excellent
Difficulty: Extremely Hard
Other Notes: While they do not excel in any particular area the Shama'
Li are average or above average in almost all areas. However because of
this they are also given the most difficult quests. In fact in some
quests you will have all three other races against you.
- - - - - -
Wild Life
- - - - - -
There are various animals running around in the world of Yavaun. Here's
some info on them.
Bonca- The rhinoceros-esque gray horned creature. They tend to be
peaceful but can put up quite a fight if you annoy them.
Bonca Fledgling- A heard of rodent-like creatures. They are much more
aggressive than their parents, but they are easier to dispose of.
Slink Weed- Eaggra Weeds ride these. They are very ferocious.
Snipethorn- A long snooted anteater like creature. Also very ferocious
with great long range capabilities.
Rubble Fiend- While this monster originally appears as a mere rock, get
too close and he'll transform into a giant rock monster. Although a
group can kill one with ease you're best off running when flying solo.

will raise morale.
Prime Minister of Death- The leader of the Tha' Roon who appears only
in the 7th and final scenario, and only if you're doing well. He is all
around one of the best characters in the game, if not _the_ best.

taken from Obblinox mythology. She uses a laser rifle that works much
like a gatling gun. She is available in the last Obblinox scenario
only, and will support whoever the under dog is.

disposal, along with killer hand to hand combat skills.
Eva the Old (Obblinox)- Don't let her appearance fool you, she is
extremely strong, albeit extremely slow as well, and her presence will

and the ability to mine 3 times faster than your best resource
gatherer.

influence and prestige

Ranger who uses an organic dart launcher for combat.

cost to upgrade units while in your clan.

you're in deep trouble, and will work for free.
