Key features
Tactical digital board game in the world of Dark
Ages!
- Six factions with unique generals and squads: the nimble
nomads of the Horde, the well-armored and disciplined Imperial
soldiers, the mad Normanna clad in furs, the League’s guilds
wielding gunpowder, the proud knights of the Order, and the exotic
cults of the Mesopotamia.
- Over 50 types of squads based on real historical troops.
No armored bikinis or spiked pauldrons here!
- By surviving battles, your squads gain experience and develop
their skills. Fresh recruits have nothing on a seasoned
veteran.
- Generals are the linchpin of a squad, and their skills and
abilities can drastically change the outcome of a battle. Each
general has a unique personality generated at the beginning of each
game. Each has their own appearance, character traits, and
abilities. It’s impossible to predict who will appear the next go
‘round: a brave but simple knight, a talented but greedy tactical
genius, or a bloodthirsty barbarian who instills fear in friend and
foe alike.
- A pantheon of chosen generals: put your greatest leaders
here to re-use them from campaign to campaign, or hire legendary
figures feared and revered throughout history, such as Joan of Arc
and Genghis Khan.
- The numerous scenarios offer a huge variety of different
challenges: win a civil war, fight off nomads, deal with
pirates raiding the coast, save a kingdom ravaged by plague, or
crush a peasant uprising.
- Battle formations: effective positioning of your troops
is half the battle. Tactical tricks, feints, and ambushes are at
your disposal. Win your battles through quality, not quantity.
- Terrain and weather: even the perfect army may lose in
unfavorable conditions. It’s generally a good idea to lure enemy
cavalry into a bog, under your arrows – but remember that rain and
fog make your archers useless.
- Upgrade your soldiers’ weapons and armor at the royal
forge.
Dark Ages is a turn-based strategy game set in the violent world
of an alternate Middle Ages. Vikings against war elephants,
musketeers against the Mongol cavalry, ancient phalanx legions
against crusaders; the deadliest armies in history clashing in
bloody war.
An army without leadership is merely a mob. In Dark Ages, troops
follow the lead of their commanders: unique leaders with their own
virtues, vices, talents, and weaknesses.
Take the throne of a small kingdom being torn apart by feuds and
threatened by militant neighbors, and try to survive the Dark
Ages.
