Battles of Norghan
In this game, you manage a clan consisting of members and mercenaries of many different fantasy races and classes you recruited from the mercenary camp on an auction basis by offering one of the five types of contracts with a better pay than what the competing clans have bid for the unit if they have. You buy them equipment, spells, train them, and prepare for the next battle while viewing various ranking tables and statistics. Those battles are mostly between clans in the same division or cup and sometimes even challenge battles.
Battles are based on turn-based strategy and you and your enemy take turns to issue commands to the units. In battles you move the creatures with a mouse or hotkeys, attack enemy creatures with one of the ranged or melee attacks and use spells to aid your own units, summon creatures or to kill or weaken enemy units. Your members and mercenaries will learn to fight better as they improve their skills in battles and in the training camp.
The maps are randomly generated with realistic algorithms and they contain all sizes and shapes of rocks, flowers, plants, bushes, trees, rivers, ponds, lakes and bridges. This means that every time you have a battle, you will battle it out in different terrain (”map”). There are four very different terrain themes; grass, lush grass, dirt and desert.
