Age of Wonders: Planetfall Dev Diary 39 - Unveiling the Mysterious Dvar

In our ongoing series of dev diaries for Age of Wonders: Planetfall, we're excited to dive deeper into the intricate world of the Dvar, one of the four playable factions in the game. Today, we'll explore their unique societal structure, which has shaped their culture and behavior.

At the heart of Dvar society lies an Oligarchy, ruled by the wealthiest families. This upper class elite leads the Consortiums, organizations comprising individual Dvars who work together to ensure the survival and prosperity of their group. This cooperative environment has fostered a bunker-dwelling species that views nature with suspicion and distrust.

The harsh conditions on their home world have only reinforced this mindset. The planet's elliptical orbit causes scorching summers and eternal winters, making it difficult for life to thrive. The Dvar were marooned here after the collapse of their previous civilization, forcing them to adapt to a fragile environment.

Their experiences as mining consortia sent to strip worlds of their natural resources have also shaped their character. The Dvar take great pride in being some of the hardest survivors in the galaxy, with a strong emphasis on self-reliance and resourcefulness.

In Age of Wonders: Planetfall, you'll get to experience the Dvar's unique culture firsthand as you explore their faction and playstyle. With their focus on industry and adaptation, they offer a distinct approach to building your empire and navigating the dangers of the planet. Stay tuned for more insights into the world of Age of Wonders: Planetfall!
