At the tactical level the player must position their armies to take advantage of terrain and make use of the best formations, to ensure victory.

- We have followed this project from its start and are happy to now fully commit to its completion. The game play is astonishing and we will upgrade some technical aspects which further enhances the quality of the game. This deal will strengthen our product portfolio and confirm our position as a leading provider of strategy games, says Fredrik Malmberg of Paradox Entertainment.
