Flow and outline of combat ============================== The overview and flow of combat is introduced here. 'Resource' which lies scattered on the MAP is mined. 'Barracks' are constructed with the collected resources. 'Soldier' is drafted by the barracks from the barracks when enough resources have been collected. The enemy is defeated by drafting soldiers and sending them into fight. The player wins when the 'Victory condition'is fulfilled. Efficiently using resources is the key to victory. Using the leader in the appropriate place and time is very important for winning the game. The 'Victory condition' changes with each mission. You can review the 'Victory Conditions' from the 'Victory Condition' menu option. ============================== 8. Knack of combat ============================== - Acquire a lot of resources. The speed of mining resources and the amount mined is directly proportional to the number of mining rigs constructed. Build as many mining rigs as possible throughout the battlefield. - The fight is won by numbers Overwhelming numbers is basically advantageous in a fight. Therefore, draft a lot of soldiers, and fight with superior numbers. - Get the leader on the battlefield frequently The leader is an important soldier who can construct buildings and draft new soldiers. However, a fighting force can only move about with a leader. Using the leader in battle increases the leader's experience and allows that leader to control more soldiers. - Use the landscape to your advantage Use cliffs and rivers to your advantage since bows and magic can be used from a cliff or across a river without getting attacked in returned. Learn how the landscape can be your ally. - Soldier's compatibility Different types of soldiers are better at fighting certain other types of soldiers. For example, Infantry is good against cavalry. Cavalry is good against wizards and wizards are good against infantry. - Learn the weaknesses and strengths so even if you don't have the advantage of numbers, you might have the advantage of strength. - Soldier's characteristic The soldier has the following features. Let's regard the soldier who operates it by understanding this well. < basic arm > - 'Infantryman' / attack power and physical defensive power are high and strong in the fight. However, the magic defense power is low and weak against magic. - 'Cavalryman' / movement speed is fast, and the magic defense is high. However, when the infantryman and movement are done, their speed can cause them to overshoot their mark. - Wizards can attack from a distance. However, their physical defense is weak. - Archers can attack from afar with the bow. However, both physical and magical defense are weak. < class arm > - Has physical defense power, attack power, and HP 'golem' / marvelous, and it is the strongest tactic. However, the magic defense power is low and weak to magic. - Wide-ranging magic from 'Artilleryman' / distance is attacked, and it is the strongest in the distance war. However, it is not possible to attack it when the physical defense power is weak, and it is adjacent. - It is possible to move regardless geographical features, and one force can be transported quickly. It is not possible to attack it. < unique > - Soldier who can draft only '(*zahn*)'of 'Flying cavalryman' / repository camp. It is possible to move regardless of the cliff or the river, etc. *** The explanation is omitted can the use of a unique unit of another camp in this demo. ============================== 9.FAQ ============================== Q.
