INTRODUCTION

A Turn based strategy adventure game fuses strategic decision making, tactical combat, kingdom management.

FEATURES

• Adventure Awaits
  Explore a wide variety of maps with diverse enemies and valuable loot. Delve into contrasting biomes with unique factions, environments and battlefields.
  
  Build an Empire
  Manage resources, research new advancements and expand your kingdom. Plan your towns to match your playstyle – Will you enlist every archer you can to rain death from their bows, or will the eternal legions of Aurelia march to war beneath your banners?
  
  Wage War
  Dive into a deep combat system using troop abilities and powerful magic. Combine troops to maximize available spells and damage potential. March into epic siege battles and determine which faction matches your playstyle and strategy. There are many ways to conquer!
  
  Play Your Way
  Handcrafted maps for the curious adventurer, or randomized maps for endless replayability. Conquest maps allow head-to-head battles, while Challenge maps offer strategic puzzles to hone your tactical thinking. Find a plethora of maps created by the Lavapotion team as well as our mod community.
  
  Alone or Together
  Venture into the world of Aerbor on your own, team up with a friend, or enlist AI allies and enemies – the choice is yours. The majority of maps are playable in single player, co-op, or multiplayer through local hotseat or online.
  
  Four Factions
  Four factions are locked in an epic conflict. Arleon, knights of old battling each other for dominance. Rana, ancient tribes fighting for survival in the swamp. Loth, necromancers raising the dead to create a glorious future. Barya, bold mercenaries and inventors dedicated to coin, gunpowder and independence.
  
  Four Choral Campaigns
  Listen to the bards as they celebrate your path to victory. Each campaign comes with a unique song that tells the tale of your rise and ruin. Unlock new verses as you complete missions, enjoying the full track at the end of the journey.
  
  In-game Map Editor
  The in-game map editor allows you to create your own adventures using the same tools the developers use to create campaign and skirmish maps. Script in-game events, control the soundtrack, write dialogue and share your creations with others!

FAN ART

Art style is pretty and detailed and feels alive.

Story is fun and very interesting

Units/Enemies are great as alot of variety to them and all have own stats and look and own attacks to learn in order to use them correctly and to avoid certain attacks.

Spells are great as alot of variety to them and all own uses such as planting mines that can be set of by anyone so be careful but great as can place them around a enemy to damage them as soon as they move and so much more is great.

Campaigns are great as all offer own story and own areas and own units and heroes to use all with own feel.

Difficulty options are great as offer alot of choice and can be adjusted to suit own style.

Artifacts are great as can equip them giving you bonuses for damage and and so many more options and all have own stats and feel to them.

Skills are great as can adjust to suit own style when you level up and make own build personally always try increase army size as more units means more attacks per turn and more amount of each types of units.

Alot of content and easy to pick up as just so much in the game and so many options.

Can be daunting as alot to learn.
