GAMEPLAY
At the beginning of a scenario, a player is given a number of towns and heroes. Different maps have different objectives, typically, defeating enemy towns or slaying a particular monster. Soldiers are trained and upgraded in the town, where the hero picks them up to add to their army. Objects on the map that the hero can interact with fall into five basic categories:
Heroes have a certain amount of movement points that allow them to travel in one turn. This can be increased with artifacts or by visiting stables or such locations. Heroes may also buy or summon a boat to travel over water to reach new areas. When all of a hero's movement is spent, and no more buildings can be constructed, the player's turn is essentially over. Only one building per town may be built a turn, and aside from movement and construction, a player can only recruit new heroes (at cost) or recruit more soldiers, if available.
When a new day (turn) begins, money is earned based on your level of town hall, and any other sources that are owned. After a week (seven turns), your number of soldiers that can be recruited is replenished. Each type of unit that can be trained in a town can be upgraded once (e.g. archer to marksman) at the cost of a new building and more gold per unit. There are seven different types of units per town, plus their upgraded versions, as well as many other monsters that must be found at special monster dwellings on the map.
TOWNS
Each town comes with a dozen or so different heroes that are aligned with that town. Any hero can be recruited to work for you through the tavern during gameplay, but your starting hero must be aligned with your town. Each town has different specialties, such as magic proficiency or town defence. Several buildings are common to each type of town.
COMBAT
When a monster or enemy hero is encountered on the map, combat is started. Weaker monsters may attempt to flee before battle begins. When a battle begins, a field appears, with the player's armies on opposite sides. Heroes themselves do not take part in the battle, besides casting spells. A battle ends when all of a hero's soldiers are killed. Aside from various pre-battle actions, the unit with the highest speed stat may take action first. The basic commands for each unit are move, attack, defend and wait.
The other option during battle is to use magic, which is done by the hero. The spellbook is divided into the four elements of spells, or can display all spells at once, in order of rank (weakest to strongest). Weaker spells usually have a lower mana cost, and have more fundamental uses, like increasing speed or armor. The higher level spells cost more, and are usually attack spells or advanced buff spells to enhance your soldiers. Mana cannot be recovered in battle naturally.

BASIC TERMS- Hero: The unit you control on the map that contains your armies. You can have several heroes active at once, each with up to seven different soldier types.
- Town: A base where soldiers and heroes are recruited. Buildings basically either train soldiers or generate resources, but can provide other benefits as well. One building can be constructed (or upgraded) per turn, and soldier stocks are replenished once per week.
- Day: Scenarios' timelines are organized into a simple day, week, month system. When a new turn begins, it's a new day. When seven turns are completed, a new week begins. After 4 weks, a new month begins. Every week, a particular unit will have increased production, and each month, double production.
GAMEPLAY
At the beginning of a scenario, a player is given a number of towns and heroes. Different maps have different objectives, typically, defeating enemy towns or slaying a particular monster. Soldiers are trained and upgraded in the town, where the hero picks them up to add to their army. Objects on the map that the hero can interact with fall into five basic categories:
- Resources: A small amount of a particular resource that will be picked up and immediately added to your stockpile.
- Artifacts: Equipment for your hero that provides stat improvements for your soldiers or spells for your spellbook.
- Locations: Visiting various locations will provide benefits such as resources, experience, spells or quests.
- Towns: You can enter your own town, or invade enemy / neutral towns from the map.
- Monsters / Heroes: Groups of monsters stay in one place on the map until beaten. Battle begins when coming into contact with them.
Heroes have a certain amount of movement points that allow them to travel in one turn. This can be increased with artifacts or by visiting stables or such locations. Heroes may also buy or summon a boat to travel over water to reach new areas. When all of a hero's movement is spent, and no more buildings can be constructed, the player's turn is essentially over. Only one building per town may be built a turn, and aside from movement and construction, a player can only recruit new heroes (at cost) or recruit more soldiers, if available.
When a new day (turn) begins, money is earned based on your level of town hall, and any other sources that are owned. After a week (seven turns), your number of soldiers that can be recruited is replenished. Each type of unit that can be trained in a town can be upgraded once (e.g. archer to marksman) at the cost of a new building and more gold per unit. There are seven different types of units per town, plus their upgraded versions, as well as many other monsters that must be found at special monster dwellings on the map.
TOWNS
Each town comes with a dozen or so different heroes that are aligned with that town. Any hero can be recruited to work for you through the tavern during gameplay, but your starting hero must be aligned with your town. Each town has different specialties, such as magic proficiency or town defence. Several buildings are common to each type of town.
- Town Hall - Every town starts with a town hall. It provides 500 gold per day, and entering it shows you what buildings can be constructed. It can be upgraded three times, increasing the amount of money generated each day.
- Fort - Determines a town's defence capabilities during a siege, as well as soldier growth. Each upgrade provides a defence measure for the town (moats, arrow towers) and doubles creature growth. Can be upgraded twice.
- Tavern - Recruit new heroes, check status on other players.
- Blacksmith - Provides a hero with either a First Aid Tent (heals a friendly soldier once per round in battle), Ballista (attacks an enemy unit once per round in battle), Ammo Cart (ranged units won't run out of ammunition) or a Catapult (attack an enemy wall one per turn during a siege). Each type of town has a certain one available.
- Marketplace - Exchange a resource for another (e.g. 5 ore = 1 crystal). Exchange rates improve with each marketplace you own (one per town).
- Mage Guild - Can be upgraded 3-5 times, depending on the town. Each rank brings higher level spells into your heroe's inventory when they visit.
- Shipyard - If the town is on a coastline, this building may be available (depending on town). Ships can be purchased here.
- Creature Dwellings- There will be seven different levels, each may be upgraded once.
COMBAT
When a monster or enemy hero is encountered on the map, combat is started. Weaker monsters may attempt to flee before battle begins. When a battle begins, a field appears, with the player's armies on opposite sides. Heroes themselves do not take part in the battle, besides casting spells. A battle ends when all of a hero's soldiers are killed. Aside from various pre-battle actions, the unit with the highest speed stat may take action first. The basic commands for each unit are move, attack, defend and wait.
- Moving - Each unit may move a certain number of spaces based on their speed stat. An option can be turned on to show their move distance with shadowed ground. Battles often have natural obstacles (trees, rocks etc.) that units will need to move around. Certain units can fly over obstacles, however.
- Attacking - There are two types of attacking, melee and ranged. Melee attackers must be next to their target, while ranged attackers can be any distance away, though their damage will be reduced if too far from their target. If an enemy unit is directly adjacent to a ranged unit, the unit may not shoot, only use their melee attack.
- Defend - Increases the unit's defense stat for one turn. The unit doesn't take any other action.
- Wait - The unit takes no action whatsoever, but it's turn will come again at the end of the round.
The other option during battle is to use magic, which is done by the hero. The spellbook is divided into the four elements of spells, or can display all spells at once, in order of rank (weakest to strongest). Weaker spells usually have a lower mana cost, and have more fundamental uses, like increasing speed or armor. The higher level spells cost more, and are usually attack spells or advanced buff spells to enhance your soldiers. Mana cannot be recovered in battle naturally.
