KKn D Series - Armies

Armies

In KKnD and KKnD Xtreme, the player can choose from either the "Survivors", humans with access to technology, or the "Evolved", mutant survivors of the nuclear blasts. In KKnD 2: Krossfire, an army of technologically advanced robots are also available, the "Series 9". Each army has a selection of units and vehicles, though they fall into equivalent groups. Every army has its own perks so to speak: The Evolved may sacrifice infantry at a structure known as "The altar of the Scourge" to summon forth demons and Series 9 infantry cannot be overrun with any vehicles, granting them more advantages over enemy vehicles and beasts.

Like mentioned above, the Survivors rely on technology, pre-war like machines to do war with while the Evolved mostly use tamed mutated fauna to do their bidding, such as gigantic insects, crabs and mastodons. The Evolved still relied on some machinery such as motorcycles, monster trucks and other automobile machinery in their war for the surface in 2141. After that, in KKnD 2: Krossfire, the Evolved rely solely on fauna, from resource gathering to doing war, taming more different beasts for their armies.

A number of special units are also appearing in all KKnD games, usually scattered in few maps waiting for the player to activate them. They are located in "tech bunkers" and whoever gets to the bunker first, receives a special pre-war robot that has superb strength in both durability and firepower, usually defeating any single enemy unit of any army in combat. These units cannot be repaired however which makes these units more high valued and prestige. In KKnD 2: Krossfire, the selection of units are increased from ground units to two special aerial units; a flying saucer with ability to attack ground targets and an extremely fast and mobile dropship.
