Crimson Dominion



The Crimson Dominion is the main antagonist in Iron Rage. The Crimson Dominion began when the forces of the Old Reich overthrew the Old Monarchy, a state bordering the old Iron Empire. In an attempt to find the secret of eternal life, the Chancellor developed the Occult Monolith and started the Church of the Dark Gods. However, the movement worshipping the Dark Gods gained its own power under the Hierarch, and eventually overthrew the Chancellor. Using the occult power of the Dark Gods, the Dominion then moved against the Iron Empire, rapidly defeating the forces of the Empire and placing it under its cruel rule. Now, you must lead the resistance to rebuild the Iron Empire and drive back the Dominion.

In battle, the Dominion troops are typically as follows:
 * infantry: Dominion infantryman
 * stormtroopers: Devastator
 * heavy infantry: Dominion reaper
 * specials: Liquidator
 * vehicles: "Fear" walking machine
 * support: Artillery bombardment, Landing Dominion, Mustard gas, Discharge

In some early missions, you will also see Dominion patrolman and Dominion guardsman units as infantry and stormtroopers; these are just weaker versions of the regular Dominion infantryman and devastator. The Dominion troops are generally slightly better than your troops at the same level, so take this into account when planning.

In some missions, you will encounter the more occult forces of the Dominion, such as bloody adept or possessed squads. These are extremely dangerous, especially to low-level players. Some missions also see the Dominion forces fighting alongside marauders or Old Reich forces.
