Saipher
[FtD Version : v4.2.5 ~ ]
Welcome to the water world of Saipher, where four factions are battling for power and control. You are the leader of a new faction that has arrived on the planet with a singular purpose: revenge against TwillightShadows that destroyed your homeland in the past.
To achieve your goal, you must navigate the treacherous political landscape, build up your forces, and strike at the heart of your enemy. The fate of this water world hangs in the balance. Will you exact your revenge or be crushed in the attempt?
―Conquer the Saipher

Details
Map size : 13×13
The Melancholy of TE :
– Fog of war is enabled.
– Use relationship matrix (one enemy faction and one allied faction)
– Much easier than Conquer the Saipher and maybe good for campaign beginners.
Conquer the Saipher :
– The main campaign of the planet.
– Fog of war is enabled.
– Use council meetings for diplomacy
– Playing Easy is recommended. The higher difficulties can result in wars with multiple factions or end-game factions. (That will make this campaign more challenging than Neter.)
Bossrush!! :
– Mission-like special campaign.
– No fog of war.
– Use relationship matrix (only one enemy faction)
– Recommended for experienced players only.
Effulgence before eclipse :
– The story mission of TwilightShadows.
– If you design and use appropriate vehicles, you can complete the mission in a short time.
