History VideoGame / ForgedBattalion

''Forged Battalion'' is a RealTimeStrategy game by VideoGame/CommandAndConquer makers, former Creator/WestwoodStudios company Petroglyph Games and published by Creator/Team17. It's main selling point is players ability to fully customize their faction to suit their needs.

The story is loosely based on the canceled VideoGame/EndOfNations. Towards the end of 21st century, global climate change causes governments across the world to collapse. However, an inventor named Milos Thymos develops Modular Manufacturing Plant (MMP) technology, which offers near limitlessness resources, energy and manufacturing capacity. He offers to give this technology for free... [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse as long as everyone makes him their new ruler]]. Most of the people take the offer, but few communities refuse. Milos is not however unreasonable. He gives ret of the world 20 years to decide. After that, he will make decision for them.

20 years have now passed and The Collective, Milos faction, has begun to close in on the remaining independent communities. However, resistance is starting to form, with the capture of one of the MMP control centers

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Game takes place at the end of 21st century

* ArmorIsUseless: Averted very much. Different types of weapons deal different damage values against certain types of armor, so you want to make sure you got troops that can deal with whatever the opponent is throwing at you.
* ArtificialBrilliance: When attacking AI base, it's allies will send troops to attack your troops in the back creating a pincer formation. AI will also target large groups of units with superweapons and even hold back if it can't find worthy target.
* BossInMookClothing: Collective generals follow this suit, driving a larger sized unit equipped with their preferred weapon.
* CommandAndConquerEconomy: What did you expect people who ''made'' VideoGame/CommandAndConquer?
* ColourCodedArmies: Due to all factions sharing shame aesthetic, this is main way to identify who the unit belongs to.
* DeadlyGas: Toxic weapons operate on this, either firing clouds of gas or lobbing shells that create poisonous clouds. Aberthany of Snake Collective is also very fond of these.
* DesignItYourselfEquipment: Major draw of the game, players can design their own units and choose their super weapons and buffs.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Dallas]] decides that [[spoiler: he]] has had enough of you and defects to the Collective
* FunWithAcronyms: Joint Strategic Operations Network (JSON). Which doubles as reference to real work computer technology known as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON JSON]].
* FogOfWar: Player can see terrain from the start, but can not see any unit or buildings that might be outside their visual range.

** Irradiated land: Units that are not radiation shielded take consistent damage
** Mud: Heavy vehicles slow down unless they are hovercraft

* LaResistance: Players faction in the campaign.
* LibertyOverProsperity: [[spoiler: Dallas]] argues against this, noting that freedom from Collective means very little if you are starving in the winter.

* MiniMecha: Infantry wears what looks to be [[{{Film/Avatar}} AMP suits]]
* PuzzleBoss: Aberthany has her base covered in a toxic cloud that damages player units, even if they are equiped with hazmat gear. In order to attack the base, player needs to locate Aberthany who is hiding one of the gas clouds dotted around the map and kill her.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: The Collective has red-and-black color scheme, in contrast of the blue color scheme of the resistance.
* SlapOnTheWristNuke: Nuclear missile has 'very'' small radius and doesn't even leave behind irradiated land. It is, however, very effective in the small area it does hit.
* TechTree: Winning battles gives technology points that players can use to unlock new techologies, that they can then use when designing their units
* ThemeNaming: Each region that the Collective controls is named after a totem pole animal

[[index]]

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Game takes place at the end of 21t century

* BossInMookClothing: General Carter drives an oversized armored tank, but has a lot more health and firepower.

** Mud: Heavy vehicles slow down

* LaResistance: Players faction in the campaing.

* CosmeticallyDifferentSides: Zigzagged. Player factions and enemy have access to the same tech tree and weapons, but can only bring limited amount (4 of each unit type + superweapon) to the battlefield. While aesthetic might not change between factions, the unit loadout does... except when two ides use same units.

* MiniMecha: Infantry wears what looks to be [[Film/Avatar AMP suits]]
