A couple of missions down the line and you’d be able to recruit troll units (monster infantry) that can become artillery units or monstrous shock infantry.Īdditional noteworthy mechanics would be “wounds” and “kills.” When units take damage, they’d suffer “wounds” which can be replenished if you take a turn to rest. Meanwhile, your Maidens (female early-game infantry) could become Stag Chargers (shock cavalry), Wind Riders (magic ranged cavalry), Winged Maidens (valkyries), Shield Maidens, as well as a Wolf Mother (support unit that can summon wolves).
Your Younglings (male early-game infantry) can become Berserkers, Werebeasts, Axemen, Skirmishers, or even a Thane hero. Certain spells include the means to reveal a section of the map, shroud yourself in mist, terraform an area into a forest, as well as summons. Naturally, no fantasy-themed game would be complete without magic-based units and spells, and Fantasy General 2 has several of them. Units have one movement point and one action point (attacks or spells), and some have a free action such as razing a settlement on the tactical map. You’ve got your usual hex-based unit placement, one-tile melee attacks, ranged attacks from two to three hexes away, and you’d even spot some siege units that can obliterate opponents from further away. The game’s mechanics are fairly easy to learn. It’s one of Slitherine’s published titles, after all, and they’re masters at their craft. The meat and potatoes of Fantasy General 2 will be its turn-based battles. Later on, you’d meet a troll hero character and you can mention rescuing his buddies from the previous mission. If you side with the trolls, you’ll earn their respect. For instance, during one of the earlier missions, Falirson witnesses a fight between trolls and humans. There are times when you’re presented with various decisions - whether it’s your choice of which mission to take (causing the other options to be locked out) or a dialogue that’d lead to a certain result. In terms of the role-playing aspect, you’ll follow Fantasy General 2‘s narrative as you progress through over 30 scenarios/missions. Again, given the fantasy themes, you’re bound to encounter humongous trolls, magic-casting shaman, shapeshifting werekin, valkyries, and more. Your father has given you an unenviable responsibility: to lead your people to greatness and defeat the forces of the (very generic named) Empire.Īlong the way, you’ll meet new friends and foes. In the game’s “Invasion” campaign, you play as Falirson, a young barbarian warrior who grows up to become the king of his own tribe. Fantasy General 2 combines the age-old concepts from the classic Panzer General series, wrapped up in a bundle of fantasy and RPG themes.
