Unit Descriptions

  • Blood Bats are so named because of their ruddy hue, which some mark as a symbol of their preferred diet. These creatures are fast and can drain the blood of those they attack, thereby gaining some of the health lost by their victims.
    • 'Vespertiliones Sanguinis ita nominant ob formas rubras, quae nonnulli ut signum cibi deliciae designant. Bestiae celerem sunt et sanguinem eis oppugnatus expotare potuant, quibus partem salutis adipiscantur, quae hostia amiserunt.'
  • The most vicious, predatory, and successful of the Blood Bats become Dread Bats, gaining the ability to drain not merely the blood but the very life energy of their victims.
    • 'Saevissimus, pradatorissimus et prosperissimus Sanguinum Vespertilionum Formidines Vespertiliones existent, percepentes potestatem bibentium non solum sanguinem sed etiam veram animam hostiarum.'
  • Propelled by oars or small sails, boats are used to travel short distances and in shallows where large ships cannot navigate.
    • 'Rates, remis aut veis guberntes, usui hominibus sunt causa haud procul et in brevi ire, ubi naves magnae navigare non potuant.'
  • Galleons are blue-water ships built for trade and transport.
    • 'Navis Mercaturae naves pelagi sunt, quae pro mercatura et advectus aedificiatur.'
