Battles of terrinoth
Armies of soldiers and fantasy creatures in epic battles on Terrinoth - the dark Baron Waiquar and his armies of Undead versus the warriors and golems of the Lords of Daqan. Over maximum eight rounds, both sides want to eliminate the biggest possible part of the opposing army. If, however, you manage to destroy all opposing units, you win instantly.
Each of the eight rounds in a battle comprises several phases: 1- Command phase - determine strategy and select units for deployment - each unit has varying abilities; the deployment and use for the round selected by setting the action wheel and the modifier wheel accordingly; actions are move & maneuver, new formation, attack in near or far range; assemble and ability There are modifiers for movement, improvement, bonus action and defense. 2. Activation - units are activated in order of their initiative; the settings of the command board are revealed and the select action and modifier are resolved, including movement and attack. 3. End phase - you throw the marker from the Mana stock; they represent five kinds of magic, in instable, stable and natural form; the value of a type of magic is equal to the number of active runes in Mana stock.
Additional rules for a regular, non-introductory battle relate to deployment and target cards - they determine prerequisites and goals for a battle, one card of each type is chosen at the start - as well as for use of terrain, assembling of armies and calculation of victory points.
Harmonious, opulent and very attractive components provide an epic battle experience with a well-balanced mix of strategy, tactic and luck of dice.
