These characters will be in the game to reflect their outlook, as well as to provide some interesting gameplay tactics and abilities.Ĭharacters Neutral Commander Eclipse Ī hardened warrior, a compassionate leader, or whatever you want her to be, Eclipse is easily the most versatile character in the game, a reflection of the player themselves. They will replace your army no more than the standard named characters, and will be heavily involved in the story if purchased, providing a unique and sometimes outlandish perspective to events in the story.



The mercenary characters will be special characters, the exception being that they are paid for by either side, and, as a result, much more diverse as well as neutrally split on the war. With a versatile cast of colorful characters on either side whose lives will be affected by your every choice, both sides will have the possibility of multiple endings, as well as some alternate paths that don’t confine to either side at all (you can even change sides partway through the game if you play your cards right). The player’s fate will be decided not through clear, binary choices, but through a natural and realistic progression of tough, real decisions. The game takes cues from titles such as Fire Emblem, Valkyria Chronicles, and Final Fantasy Tactics, with a heavy emphasis on story. What sites the game will be distributed on will be decided closer to release. The game will be free to download on various distribution sites with open source code available if possible when the game is complete.

Political tensions rise, and eventually Luna flees to the Crystal Empire to form the New Lunar Republic, slowly but surely plunging Equestria into civil war… Princess Celestia, having protected her nation for over a thousand years without the need of military force, dissents against this notion, not wishing her nation to become a bloodthirsty empire. After an attack on the Grand Galloping Gala nearly puts Princess Luna’s life in danger, she makes a call to arms across the nation, asking every willing and able pony to form an organized militia and strengthen Equestria’s borders. Between the rise of Princess Twilight Sparkle and the changeling invasion (the first true invasion of Equestria in a millennium), political balance in the nation is beginning to grow tenuous. Players take the role of Eclipse, an influential officer in Equestria’s military.
