Kingdom of Ikana (Total War)

The Kingdom of Ikana is a playable faction in Hyrule: Total War and Termina: Total War.

Description
The ancient Kingdom of Ikana is a large mystery to all of Hyrule. At one point in history they controlled a vast empire of glory and prosperity. Then one day, a sudden civil war broke out among their people. Within a few short days, their entire Kingdom vanished. All their people and cities completely gone from the face of Hyrule with no explanation. Many centuries passed and their existence became a myth, though many claim to see their cities vanish in and out of existence over the years. Now in recent times their cities have begun to reappear at large in their barren homeland to the south. It is a mystery what had happened to them all these years, but now the Ikanians have returned, and to them all the inhabitants of Hyrule cannot be trusted. Neither living nor dead, the Ikanians are cursed with the appearance of skeletal warriors, though it is unknown if it is only a magical facade or if they truly have become such monstrosities. Regardless, their numbers grow and their army prepares to destroy those who would betray them. The army of Ikana is a fairly balanced one, armed with professional grade weaponry and armor. The undead appearance of the Ikanians also gives them a certain psychological edge in a fight. Despite their masterwork weapons, armor, and training, the resources in Ikana's homeland are nearly run dry, and they have a poor economy to field troops. As such, soldiers are rather expensive and costly to lose in a fight. Whatever high price their soldiers may desire, the money is well worth the effort of assembling a mighty army worthy of the name Ikana.

Tech Tree
The Kingdom of Ikana have a very focused techtree with a lot of building prerequisites and population marks to be reached. Their barren landscape and quality units are reflected with poor economy buildings and expensive costs. Their techtree is also dual in nature: Players can continue to worship Majora in return for power and his favor, or they can seek repentance from the Goddesses to repair the damage to their land. Both options lead to very different settlement types as well as giving Ikana four different Upgrade levels.



Hamlet

 * Crack into Termina: A small crack in the earth from which the dead of Termina can march into Hyrule.
 * Civilian Sector: Once served as a large housing district for all the civilian population of Ikana.
 * Favor of Majora: Orders the inhabitants of Ikana to create idols of Majora in his name. As the population of a city increases, you can order further idols be displayed. Increases the chance that Majora will lend support to your efforts and increases the law of the city.
 * Repentance for the Goddesses: Orders the inhabitants of Ikana to create idols of the Goddesses in their name. As the population of a city increases, you can order further idols be displayed. Decreases the chance of Majora lending his support and creates unrest within host city. If enough idols are present the city will convert to Strict Goddess Worship, eliminating the negative effects of the idols and allowing you to train living units.
 * Ikanian Farms: Simple farmland devoted to cultivating crops for Ikana. Can only be constructed if no Termina Fissure is present and Majora Worship is abolished. Upgrades to a larger size as population increases.
