Each area you encounter is a land in ruins, occupied by the Skelmars, steeped in chaos and scarred by war. The Skelmars have seized and fortified every stronghold and landmark, while other locations lie in ruins, unusable until you drive out the invaders.Liberate each barony by targeting and defeating the stronghold at its heart, bringing life back to the land. Local allies will emerge from hiding to recognize your efforts, and destroyed locations can be rebuilt by investing materials, restoring them to full functionality and strengthening the war effort.

In liberated areas, local factions can be recruited to the cause. Each location can either produce valuable resources or offer unique benefits, such as increased supplies from farms or military support from watchtowers.

Manpower, to enlist support from skillful local combatants in battle. Construction materials, used to rebuild destroyed landmarks and key infrastructure. Supplies, to keep your forces well fed and equipped. Prepare for intense Stronghold sieges, where each battle can unfold in up to two thrilling phases. As you gather your forces outside the fortress and face the enemy defenders stationed in front of the wall, your allies may already be engaged in battle. Breach the defenses by destroying the door, creating an opening for your troops to surge forward.Once fallen, the door reveals the heart of the fortress. Navigate the interior, confront the enemy forces and claim victory by eliminating their leader.
