{{Historical}}

Project Ragnarok will be a mod which uses no copyrighted material so it can be distributed for free and will not require you to own a copy of TA to play. This game will not just be a free rebuild of TA. 

==Features==
* 2 unique factions with completely unique gameplay styles (2 more will be added after the first version of the mod is released.) The two starting factions will be The United Tribes and The Machinations of Fenris.
* High poly models. This mod is designed to look beautiful and take advantage of the often under-utilized power of the spring engine. 2000+polys per unit on average, with an emphases on smaller, more tactical battles.
* New tree models and maps will be utilized for this mod. The model scale will be increased from the TA Spring standard: models, trees, and features will be up to 50% larger.
* Smaller numbers of units. The action will take place in small concentrated battles, as opposed to large, chaotic battles as seen in most other mods.

==Factions==
===The United Tribes===
In the distant future of our planet, after wars have torn the world to pieces time after time, man had begun to digress to the social patterns of a simpler time, when mighty nations had no place on this world. The Tribes of Earth were formed by the Asatru Caste, the spiritual leaders of humanity, so that they could rule without fear of another world conflict destroying humanity forever. The loosely knit group of tribes cooexisted for hundreds of years before conflicts started once more, but this time from somewhere completely unexpected.

====Info====
The United Tribes will start the game with a Mobile Command Center, which is a massive flying complex which constructs units and structures. All United Tribes structures are mobile and can be moved by flying transport units.

===The Machinations of Fenris===
While the machines which came from the sky have no name for themselves, the Asatru have all but confirmed that they can only be the servants of Fenris himself, come to bring about Ragnarok and end all things. Indeed, the machines seem set on dismantling the world itself, harvesting all that lies before them for some unknown end. Their towering warmachines seem to touch the sky, and when they begin to sing, everything turns to ash.

====Info====
The Machinations main combat unit is called the Monolith, and it builds more of itself. It has been described as a [[Wikipedia:Clanking replicator|Von Neuman Machine]].

==Sample Units==
===Hel Caste Warrior===
The Hel Caste is the elite fighting force of the United Tribes. The Asatru have geneticly engineered the ideal warrior, creating men who stand over ten feet tall and have the strength of many. When enclosed in their powered body armor, they are a force of vast destruction, capable of jump-jetting for miles and raining death upon any they cross. Their legendary rapid-fire rockets can pepper an area with their deadly wrath.
===The Monolith===
This towering machination moves very slowely across the face of the world, singlehandedly laying waste to entire regions. Armed with an ungodly array of energy weapons, they can destroy most anything they can hit. They appear to have some sort of personnal shield generator which can stop projectiles dead in their tracks. They have even been known to reproduce themselves on the battlefield. Given their extraordinary strength, can some weakness be found in time to end their dread march before all is gone?
