changedDemo release date2 Conquest Maps against either bots or other players in couch coop
changedConquest ModeThe main goal of Conquest is to secure the majority of objective points on the map to gradually reduce their remaining supply points, but you'll need to make sure to capture enough spawn points to dominate the battlefield and maintain control. You can play against bots and/or your friends in local multiplayer.
changedSiege ModeIn Siege maps you must defend your castle by securing its spawn points and selecting and positioning your troops carefully before the enemy attacks from waves of siege towers trying to take over the fortification. Victory against armies will unlock harder versions of those armies so test your skill and see how long you can last!
changedCampaign ModeThe Campaign takes all 10 conquest maps and bundles them into an overworld hex grid that the 5 factions fight for control over. Any map tiles you control provide manpower and additional troop types to your battles while you control them to spread over the map and conquer the world as your own! More will be shown as the game approaches full release.
