General

The ruler of the Masari, Altea is the name given to every queen when she ascends to power. The current Altea en during Masari early years on Earth and the conflict againt hierarchy in 2012. Altea has been a wise and benevolent ruler, inspiring much faith amongst the Masari.

Story

The current Altea has been the ruler of the Masari for some time, taking over from the previous queen during their early years on Earth(3), before Atlantea to be submerged. As the Masari mingled amongst the people of Earth, Altea fell in love with a human, taking him as her consort. Although this caused a stir amongst the Masari.

In the year 2012 the Hierarchy lands on Earth, while the Hierarchy commander Orlok was diverting Novus so The Purifier can be deployed, he unwittingly tripped an ancient alarm in the Egyptian pyramids, and the Masari, asleep beneath the Earth's oceans, begin to waken. Though the Masari mothership initially creates a signal that prevents the Purifier from being used, the Hierarchy bomb the ship, board it, and prepare to use the Purifier.Orlok tries to make an alliance with the Masari queen, but instead finds her son, Prince Zessus. The prince and his forces join Orlok as he tries to capture a communication center to contact the others who want to separate from the Hierarchy. But Kamal Re'x appears with a massive force of troops, and Orlok almost defeats him, but Nufai shows up and helps Kamal destroy Orlok, revealing that he was working for Kamal the entire time.

Prince Zessus is captured but is freed by a soldier who managed to escape the Masari Queen is concerned about her son and the fate of the planet. The Masari are furious when they awoke only to find their enemy, the Hierarchy, present on Earth and their mothership destroyed. Novus approaches the queen and offers another allegiance, which the queen accepts. The two armies then assault all the Hierarchy bases on Earth. When they arrive in South America, they find Zessus, who announces that he has befriended the humans. Finally, the combined armies of the Masari, Novus and the humans attack and destroy the Purifier. Kamal Re'x is outraged and attempts to destroy them by himself, which instantly fails.

The armies argue over what to do with him, with the humans and Novus wanting to kill him for the damage he caused to the galaxy and Earth. But the Masari queen says that death is not the answer. She then apparently gives Kamal the power of a god which he uses to destroy them all, at least in his eyes. The queen is revealed to have actually trapped Kamal inside his own mind where he visualizes someone conquering the galaxy, but is never able to accomplish it himself. He was locked in the prison of his own mind, forever.

skill

In battle, Altea is both completely harmless... and incredibly powerful. She has no direct attack capability, but can channel very powerful forces via her special abilities [3]. The Queen Altea, Masari leader, is a prudent heroine, who prefer to use good manners, that use the steel fists. Although peaceful and contrary to arms, the queen is possessed of great power. she can stop all violence with a look, disintegrate matter, with a gesture and its mere presence is a blessing for wounded allies as they heal just by being near her.[2].

Altea generates an aura around her at all times that slowly heals and cleanses all Masari army of any negative effects. She herself is immune to many enemy effects including radiation, mind-control, burning energy, slowing, etc.(3)

Drawing directly from the reality Altea calls on the energies of Atlatea (the Masari city-ship) to forcibly re-write reality, bending it to her will. This power does just unmakes objects erasing them from reality. Objects that are being unmade are frozen, unable to attack or move as they are woven out of time, constantly damaged until they simply disappear. Some objects have enough healt to escape complete deletion, but even they will emerge heavily damaged from the attack. Because this power partially bends reality, the material of objects being erased is slowly refunded to the enemy … as if those objects were never purchased or built in the first place[3]. Altea can force peace eradicates all projectiles and weapon fire in the immediate area around her[3].

Altea telepathic abilities were so powerful that Kamal rex was imprisoned by her in a comatose dream[1]

Gameplay

Queen Altea is the Support hero of the Masari, unlocked by the Dark Matter Branch. She cannot attack. She radiates a beneficial aura with a 135 radius. The aura heals friendly units and structures (3 + 1.4% per second). It removes radiation effects from friendly units and structures. It removes and blocks application of viruses, mind control, and phasing from friendly units and structures. It improves construction speed and upgrade speed of friendly structures by 20%.

Tips

-It can be difficult to select units within the Peace effect. It may be helpful to have given them orders or assigned them to a control group before activating this ability.
-Unmake applies its damage to objects in the target area at the time of activation. Units that enter the area later are not affected, and units that leave the area continue to be affected.
-Unmake at maximum duration reduces an Architect with 100% health and 100% Dark Matter Armor to 0% health, which it survives. It will kill any unit weaker than this, making it deadly against crowds of infantry but mild against vehicles and structures.
-Unmake's area is somewhat larger than the targeting circle.

-An interesting bugg with Unmake is that if used on enemies, the user gains ~50% of the resources that the enemy is supposed to get, and if used on rubble, the player will get 100% of the destroyed resources.
