Warlord Battle Mechanics







Warlord Pairings and striking order
If a group of Warlords from the attacking Realm meets another group of Warlords from the defending Realm, the Warlord pairings are defined by the total fighting strength of the Warlords.

Warlords & Troops





Who are the Warlords?
Warlords are the chiefs of your armies. You command your Warlords and lead them to battle, together with their troops. No Warlord is like another. They all differ a lot from each other.

The Items of Arkheim


No Warlord should go to battle naked. You can equip them with items that give your Warlord bonuses of different kinds.

Equip your Warlords wisely. A bow increasing the strength of…

In a world where you can't know what other Realms are up to, it's important to have allies who can cover your back and help you fight mutual enemies. You…

A Realm is like an organic cell.
Its inner life is dynamic and in constant movement.
It has a core from where everything is controlled.

Time to retreat and relocate
In a situation where one Realm is clearly weaker than another Realm, the game can get hopeless for the weaker Realm. A defeated team that has lost most of its supplies, troops, and towers will have a very hard time recovering if it keeps being located next to one or more mighty Realms. The features “Retreat” and…

Some Realms like their supplies medium, others prefer them rare.


What are Supplies?
Supplies are fields on the map that can be conquered and claimed by a Realm. Once they are in the Realm's possession, they constantly deliver a particular amount of resources or troops to each member of the Realm.
There are 3 different status-types for a supply field:

Soul Energy & Soul Forge
When sending your troop to battle, the souls of your defeated foes will be transformed into Soul Energy and recycled in an eco-friendly way. The Soul Energy will be gained in PvP battles and you will be able to convert the Soul Energy to different kinds of benefits at the Soul Forge building.

Sooner or later you will get to the point where you have to leave your comfort zone and attack or conquer an enemy’s tower to fight your way to the top.
