    • Hea focus precursers.png Legacy of Scripture
 Gets event Pilgrims Cometh. Pilgrims have travelled to our lands, whether intentionally or unintentionally, for the better part of several decades. For these people, churches and shrines have been built, yet one has always been more popular than the other!

    • Hea focus pilgrims.png Pilgrims Cometh

Evolution of the Guard Branch

Focus Prerequisites Effects Description
Hea focus evolution of the guard.png Evolution of the Guard Heaven's Gate
  • Requires the following:
    • Hea focus innocence lost.png Innocence Lost
 1x 50% Research bonus for: Land Doctrine.
1x 50% Cost reduction for: Air Doctrine. 		For the better part of a hundred years, Heaven's Gate has been protected by the Guard, an unofficial alignment of disjointed militia and mercenaries who have little to no formal interaction with one another, beyond a unified goal of protecting the gate. Evolving this organization into a true military shall be no simple task.
Hea focus race to heaven.png The Race to Heaven Heaven's Gate
  • Requires the following:
    • Hea focus evolution of the guard.png Evolution of the Guard
 Air Experience: +20.
1x 50% Research bonus for: Air Equipment Technology. 		The Race to Heaven is something of a misleading name for a cultural phenomenon that was established thirty years ago by an elderly preacher named Darren Shaw, who challenged the young minds of the Gate to reach for the heavens from his deathbed. While this was undoubtedly a philosophical statement, many young engineers believed it a challenge, and invitation to rebuild the flying machines of old.
Hea focus blessing of the angels.png Blessing of the Angels Heaven's Gate
  • Requires the following:
    • Hea focus race to heaven.png The Race to Heaven
  • File:ExclusiveM.png Mutually exclusive with:
    • Hea focus wings of the angels.png Wings of the Angels
 Add Flying Orders, which grants (Air Accidents Chance: -20.0%, Air superiority agility: +20.00%, Bad Weather Penalty: -20.00%). It is said that those who fly, and have flown, only do so because the angels, and by extension, god allow them too. If such is true, than it can be said that all of those among us who take to the skies do so with the blessing of those angels, and the blessing of a beloved god. Let those who dare to soar do so with the confidence that such faith can inspire.
Hea focus wings of the angels.png Wings of the Angels Heaven's Gate

    • Hea focus race to heaven.png The Race to Heaven
  • File:ExclusiveM.png Mutually exclusive with:
    • Hea focus blessing of the angels.png Blessing of the Angels

To truly soar, one must embrace the experience, be free in mind and soul, spirit and body. To this end, those who fly and wish to soar must know that the wings that carry them are not made from metal, fibre, nor are they powered by fuel or reactor. The wings of the angels carry those who soar, and those who know this will know no fear.

  • Requires one of the following:
    • Hea focus blessing of the angels.png Blessing of the Angels
    • Hea focus wings of the angels.png Wings of the Angels
 1x 50% Cost reduction for: Air Doctrine. Those who fly on our behalf fear not the fall, nor the rise, for they know in their heart of hearts that their soul has already risen. Their bodies are but vessels for the will of the lord, as they are the few who have risen high enough to see with the naked eye that which was the world god created, the ruined beauty of that which we squandered. Death is a mercy, and death in his name? An honour.

  • Requires the following:
    • Hea focus evolution of the guard.png Evolution of the Guard
 Army Experience: +20.
1x 50% Research bonus for: Land Doctrine. 		The greatest among our warriors have always been the clergy and preachers, those who go out into this barren and dangerous world with a small book and a proper big iron, dedicated to bringing god's mercy to those in need, and god's wrath upon those who deserve it. Allowing these men to teach and arm the clergy shall be the first step to a proper fighting force.

Among the citizenry, there is often little to no desire to go forth and fight, to go forth and kill, yet it is the duty of any good Christian to protect their home, their family, and those who can't protect themselves. Mandatory service is a means to an end, a method through which we shall fill out the ranks on our holy mission, but more than that, it is the will of our god.

They shall fight and pray for Heaven's Gate.

  • Requires one of the following:

    • Hea focus arming the clergy.png Crusader Armies

This knowledge, above all other things, gives us an advantage in times of strife and regrettable violence.
Hea focus cleric generals.png Cleric Generals Heaven's Gate
  • Requires the following:
    • Hea focus armed pilgrims.png Armed Pilgrims
 Add School of Mobility, which grants (Divisions speed: +10.00%). There are few things in the world that can motivate a man or woman to move quicker than the a short hymn for the grace of a powerful verse. The Cleric Generals do not only lead our armies, they guide them through what remains of the world, ensuring that both spirit and body remain strong all the while.

In time, what will this fear become?
