Shields of Loyalty
Set in a world where the dead do not stay buried and malevolent forces consume the living, Shields of Loyalty challenges players to assemble and lead an army across a sprawling world shaped by strategic choices and grim victories. From the gloomy reaches of the Darkwoods to the frozen expanse of the Eternal Ice, every battle unfolds on carefully designed hex maps where terrain, formations, and precise tactics decide the victor. The Empire faction fields disciplined ranks of armored knights and stalwart infantry, while the Warlords embrace raw brutality, unleashing beasts and berserkers in overwhelming assaults. The Highpriest Faction balances mysticism and martial prowess, blending ancient rituals with elite desert warriors and arcane champions.
From flying units whose mobility can break enemy lines to stealth specialists striking at critical targets, each unit offers unique abilities for tacticians to deploy against the undead. Some excel at ranged or elemental attacks, others sow chaos by lowering morale, and many possess passive abilities that reward precise timing. Experimentation with unit combinations keeps every encounter fresh, and mastery demands understanding each unit and faction. It is up to the player to weave these elements into cohesive strategies across every hex. Commanders further shape how every campaign unfolds, each representing a distinct path through Mantaria with unique strategy, challenges, and narrative flavor. Aglovan the Noble leads a disciplined campaign of cavalry maneuvers and tactical precision, while Warlord Karnoth drives a brutal conquest rooted in sheer force.
