The Daeloth are an attempt at designing a very different type of faction. Their economy generally trades Research points for resources, and gives them important economic structures to build on infernal gates and excavation sites, which will cause them to overall research slower if they attempt to juice their economy. In combat, their units deal a bit less damage than other factions, but also tend to debuff their targets, reducing their resists, power, and sometimes dealing damage over time.
The Daeloth also use a special version of the normal upgrade system. Only a few of their units can upgrade, but most of them instead have Transformation (side-grades) that cost mana instead of gold. For example their basic ranged unit, the Hem Glo, can transform into a winged scout for 30 mana (and after flying around can change back into its more combat ready version). These transformations allow some customization of their fighting force, and allows them to spend mana on things other than. Their capital starts with a mana trap, hellish den, and Sustenenance Effigy, and their units primarily cost food and mana to upkeep.
They can build temples to Helia, Grumgog, Krypta, and Fervus.
