Embark on a thrilling journey through time with an army set on ruling the world 1,000 years ahead of their time. However, they're in for a surprise when they encounter fierce resistance from the so-called "primitive" counterparts of the past. As a leader, you'll rally hundreds of warriors from diverse cultures across the globe. You can choose to immerse yourself in the boots of a single fighter or step back to command an entire army at your fingertips. This game seamlessly blends world-dominating strategy with fully interactive battles, delivering an unparalleled gaming experience. And just when you think you've conquered history, be prepared for it to repeat itself in unexpected ways!
UPGRADES
The game is primarily free to play, but you can enhance your experience by upgrading. Choose which side you want to be on and how much territory you wish to start with. Unleash your creativity in fantasy battles between any two cultures, with as many warriors as your device can manage. Additionally, you have the power to edit every character in the game, though be aware that the game features up to 1,000 characters that are regularly updated.
CONTROLS
When you're in control of a specific character, you can choose between the "Classic" one-handed control system or "Dual Wield," where each hand is controlled independently. If you're new to these controls from previous games in the series, you can pause the action at any time by hitting the dateline and consult the "Controls" guide. Keep an eye out for in-game hints from scrolls or books you can read.
You can switch the character you're controlling at any time by tapping their health meter or pointing directly at them on the battlefield. By tapping the arrows at the bottom of the screen, you can enter "Commander" mode, stepping back to direct any active team member by swiping from their location to another. Whether you're directing them to relocate, engage an enemy, or pick up an object, they'll interpret your commands, though they may act according to their own priorities!
Regardless of your device or chosen control method, you can always zoom in or out by pinching at the center of the screen.
MAP
In the main "Campaign" game mode, your goal is to expand your territory by moving units from one area to any connected one. You can either "fortify" an existing territory or attempt to seize a rival's land. Keep in mind that only 50% of the units in a territory are available to travel, making invasion more challenging than defense.
The population of any inhabited territory may grow after each round, emphasizing the importance of controlling as many territories as possible. Units will also gradually heal over time, so it's strategic to manage different locations each turn.
PERFORMANCE
This game is the largest scale I've developed yet, and may require a high-end device to run at optimal performance. To improve performance, consider setting the "Population" to a lower number to reduce the characters on screen, or adjust other features in the "Display" options.
There's much more to this game than I could possibly explain here, so I hope you enjoy discovering its depths for yourself!
