ways to take a fortress — or keep it from being taken
01

The sieges you dreamed of

Walls and towers with garrisons, staked ditches, moats of water and lava, wolf pits, caltrops, oil and fire, drawbridges, tunnels under the walls. Build an impregnable fortress — then find a way to break someone else's: ladders, rams, fascines, catapults.

02

Battle order decides everything

Shield wall, tortoise, wedge, hedgehog, loose order — every formation has its strength and its price. Shields in front, spears in the second rank, archers behind, horse on the wings. Bind your squads to keys and wage war like a general.

03

An impact you can hear

Cavalry charges, crush in the ranks, the rout of the shaken, morale and fear, fatigue, high ground and fords. Templars in a wedge tear through a line of the dead — unless the spears meet them first.

04

The fallen never vanish

Bodies stay on the field, rot and turn to bones. The Order burns the fallen for Faith. The Cursed Court raises them into its ranks. The clans strip them for trophies. The Abyss devours their souls.

05

The rear wins the war

In Realism mode, peasants build and gather everything: fields, farms, mines on ore veins. The army eats bread, every town keeps its own stores, and guarded caravans carry them where the fighting is.

06

Become one of them

Take control of any soldier — a spearman, an archer, a hero — and fight in third person in the middle of your own army. And when you just want to watch, switch on Cinema mode and the battle becomes a film.

07

Powers that reshape the field

Rain of Fire and Wrath of Heaven, Army of the Dead and Hand of the Crypt, Call of the Pack and Earthquake, Meteor and Call of the Titan. Six powers for every faction — unlocked as the battle goes on.
