Build and manage your economy by constructing specialized buildings that recruit legendary creatures and provide hero bonuses.

Choose from seven distinct factions, including Haven , Academy , Necropolis , Stronghold , Sylvan , Dungeon , and Fortress (included in the Trial by Fire expansion).

Always try to move your melee units behind the enemy; the flanking bonus can turn the tide against higher-tier creatures.

Battles take place on a chess-like grid where unit positioning and flanking (attacking from the side or back) provide significant damage bonuses.

In the early game, prioritize building resource-generating structures in your town to sustain a larger army later.
