Neuroshima Hex 3.0 – What’s it all about?

For those of you who are new to the Neuroshima Hex universe, this article will help you understand a bit more about what the game is about and the storyline behind it. Neuroshima HEX is a game of tactics, where armies wage continuous battles against each other. The world of Neuroshima Hex is that of a post-apocalyptic world torn apart by a war between humans and machines. The remains of humanity took shelter in the ruins of cities and organized in small communities, gangs and armies. Conflicts between such groups are not uncommon and the reasons of such are numerous: territory, food or equipment. Machines sent from the north constantly patrol the ruined cities. That is where a vast cybernetic entity, called MOLOCH, appeared. Great wastelands that surround what was left of the greatest cities are home to another enemy - BORGO - a charismatic leader who controls an army of gruesome mutants. One of humanity’s last hopes is the OUTPOST, a perfectly organized army that wages a guerrilla war against MOLOCH. Nevertheless, most human settlements, including the HEGEMONY, are not concerned with war until it comes banging at their door… OUTPOST The last regular standing army of humankind, the Outpost wages war against Moloch at its very borders. After several years of guerrilla warfare, humans invented numerous effective ways of fighting the dreadful machines. Their hit-and-run tactics are crucial while standing against a stronger opponent. The Outpost is never in one place, always on the move slipping away from ambushes and traps as one mobile city. Thanks to many victories against Moloch’s forces, the Outpost has taken over some modern technology and uses it against the machines themselves. MOLOCH The Moloch is a half-mechanical, half-electronic entity, which spreads across an area as large as several states. It was Moloch that brought about the fall of humankind in 2020. Now, thirty years later, its army is even bigger and more powerful. Hordes of machines search through the desolate lands in pursuit of what’s left of humans to destroy them. All orders are transmitted from within Moloch’s ‘body’, which consists of several interconnected artificial brains that scheme on the latest plans for the ultimate conquest. Despite its military and technological advantages, Moloch’s forces lack the natural intelligence and flexibility of humans. BORGO Since the beginning of the war, the Moloch has created numerous generations of mutants. Enhanced growth rate, genetic engineering and high combat skills are the essence of a mutant’s abilities. Their various breeds roam the barren lands fighting over every inch of it, quite often against one another. The scattered groups have finally become united by the charismatic cyber-mutant Borgo, who leads the horde against humanity under his defiling banner of Biohazard. HEGEMONY The Hegemony is a land ruled by gangs waging constant war for domination. The gangs set off to loot and kill are spreading terror far beyond the borders of the Hegemony. Strength and physical prowess are highly valued among the gang members, their favorite pastime being violent gladiator-inspired games. Also know that Neuroshima Hex 3.0 is fully compatible with all the expansions that have been released for the Neuroshima Hex universe. Well there you have it! That was a look into the world of Neuroshima Hex 3.0!
