recruitment) and also trees, and mountains, rivers, sea and other parts of
landscape.

3. Characters
• Playing characters are shared by
Heroes (who explores the map) and
battle figures (who fights against
enemy’s armies). At the start of the
game we have (usually, depends of
mission) a castle, which we can
upgrade by buying/improving
buildings, by one of each turn, and
also recruit heroes, and new members
to our armies.
There’s no NPC characters in this game.

5 and 6 also contain 3D perspective.
• Third-person perspective.

5. Gameplay
• Goals: In the most of campaigns and free scenarios, the player wins
when eliminate villain’s heroes and capture his castles. Other additional
goal is to find and possess ‘ultimate artifact’ (I-II), grail (III-IV) or Tear
of Asha (V).
• Rules: The game is based on turns, in which the players have limited
amount of movements.
• Challenges:
• Difficulty: Usually the player is able to choose the scenario’s difficulty
and the time (or timeless) of a single turn.
• Balance: Established order during he game.
• Rewards: After each battle and from the map, heroes obtain experience
points and reach next levels, due to which they can gets new abilities
(such as logistic, luck etc.) or improve already owned, and be able to
learn more advanced spells.

6. Gameplay (cont.)
• Story: Every main title adventures take place in the same
universe, different dynasties through different worlds and
continents.
• Sounds: very climatic, give that atmosphere of fantasy, board
games etc.
• Feedback: After winning a scenario, there’s a triumphal music,
and the narrator tells what happens next. In contrast when
player lose, is a sad melody and like in the other games, the
scenario must be don from a beining again (if not saved before
defeat). Similar with each single battle with an opponent, when
you win, there’s a victorious song and the picture with proud
hero on his horse, or a castle, depends on place.
