What is RuneQuest: Warlords?
RuneQuest: Warlords is a turn-based tactics game set in the enchanting world of RuneQuest, steeped in the culture of the Bronze Age where gods and mortals intertwine through magic.
Warlords gameplay features
Turn-based combat
Engage in skirmish battles where players command their armies on grid-based maps. Players can maneuver their forces with precision, launching calculated attacks on enemy troops. Each move and decision can turn the tide of battle, making every encounter a test of wits.
Army rosters
Assemble diverse and formidable armies by selecting units from your chosen faction to create a roster that matches your strategic vision. Each unit is equipped with unique weapons and magical abilities, offering a rich tapestry of options. Some units also provide different loadout choices, adding depth to your strategy.
Momentum mechanics
Momentum adds a dynamic layer to the battlefield. This unique currency is earned through actions in battle or by following faction traits. When a unit reaches its Momentum cap, it unlocks powerful advantages: gaining an extra action point or activating empowered abilities. This system rewards tactical play and encourages continuous engagement, making each battle thrilling and immersive.
Faction trait bonuses
Each faction is designed with unique bonuses that enhance its playstyle. As units accumulate Momentum, these bonuses grow stronger, rewarding players for aligning with their faction's strategic flow. Talastar excels in active movement, gaining power and agility. The Lunar Empire thrives in formations, enhancing resilience and precision. Chaos grows fiercer with losses, harnessing unstable power through sacrifice.
