Units of the Alin
The units of the Alin army combine the might of fire, glass, and sand. New units are called forth through the magic of powerful summoning circles, each of which is capable of producing units of its given type. The units of the Alin are relatively inexpensive as compared to those of the Vinci or Cuotl, but are not as tough. The Alin prefer to overwhelm their opponent through superior numbers.
