T4 Story - Part of the suggestion for a Spiral City

Please place comments at this thread
NB: This is a suggestion part of the link above
The Story (T4):
After finally defeating all the enemies' empires (hopefully in the last few missions), the Spiral Empire was born. But there was a problem, which meant the adventure was far from over. All of the Spiral Empire, apart from The Haven, belonged to other empires. This meant that there were fierce, hostile uprisings. Some previously conquered empires, and also the undefeated swarm, allied together, creating hybrids of the original monster races, and many new damage types and status effects. Too add to the massive problem, due to the Spiral Empire covering a vast amount of space, other Empires want to conquer the Spiral Empire. It is up to you to prevent any harm to the Spiral Empire.
NB: The entrance for this place is discussed at this thread
New Monster Hybrids:

New Damage Types:

The problem is that the augmentation in power of equipment is based on the influence due to the proximity to the Core. Shadow Lairs justify themselves because they use the influence of the Swarm.
So, unless there is some new power or something, "Tier 4" wouldn't feature "more powerful" enemies or influence our equipments to be stronger/weaker.
If it ever happens in the game, I'll be sure to love it! Your ideas are GREAT, PERFECT, and AWESOME!!
