----

* WeCannotGoOnWithoutYou: In all campaign missions, the PlayerCharacter must survive.

* Unicorn: Elves use unicorns as their cavalry troops. They hit hard, especially after a charge, but aren't particularly tough.

* NoCampaignForTheWicked: Averted. The four playable races get campaigns of their own, and each one presents their side as the "good guys".

While units differ from race to race, the basic types are militia (cheap and weak), infantry (strong melee troops), missile (e.g. crossbowmen, archers, riflemen), artillery (e.g. catapults, ballistae, cannons), pikemen (anti-cavalry), cavalry (more damage after a certain number of hexes traveled in a straight line), and mages. Greenskins lack any artillery or cavalry. Human crossbowmen are unique among missile troops in that they can't move and attack on the same turn. Humans have only one artillery unit (catapult), elves have two (ballista and scorpion), and dwarves have three (cannon, hellfire, and mortar).

* AnAxeToGrind: Thuvrid's weapon of choice. He can switch between a large axe for melee combat or smaller axes to throw.

* DemBones: Skeletons (either warriors or archers) can be summoned using scrolls. They are also the primary troops of the final bad guy of the human campaign.

* HealingFactor: Some heroes have this as an optional ability. It can be purchased and enhanced in the castle. It can prove invaluable, especially for non-elves, since they lack healers.

* NoCampaignForTheWicked: Averted. The four playable races get campaigns of their own.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Dwarves are the most technologically-advanced race. Their missile units are armed with rifles (albeit shorter-ranged than archers of other races), and their artillery is likewise gunpowder-based.

* PlayerCharacter: Each campaign has player be represented as a specific hero unit, who can be upgraded in-between missions.

* GlassCannon: All artillery units fit the trope. They are easy to destroy but also pack a hell of a punch. The elven campaign has two artisans argue about which is better: ballistae or scorpions. Ballistae have greater range but also can't shoot at anything right next to them. Scorpions can, but their overall range is shorter (they also deal more damage, but the artisans don't mention it). The ballista artisan points out that being able to attack someone right next to it is pointless for a scorpion, as the unit is most likely dead at that point (most artillery are {{Glass Cannon}}s). It's rare for a unit to get close enough to dead melee damage to a scorpion but not kill it in a single turn.

* GlassCannon: All artillery units fit the trope. They are easy to destroy but also pack a hell of a punch.

* GeoEffects: Missile and artillery troops get a bonus to range and damage if they have the high ground (either a hill or on a castle wall or tower). Trees provide cover from damage (except against magic attacks) but slow down anyone who isn't an elf. Trees are also impassable to cavalry. Roads increase movement.

* HealingHands: Elves are the only ones who have a healing unit. Heroes can use healing potions on themselves or friendly units, but those are limited, while a healer can heal someone (including themselves) every turn. Note: this only applies to those in a squad still alive. If 4 archers out of 9 in the squad have been killed, they won't be brought back to life.

** Greenskins have 2: a dragon named Ildus and a goblin knife-thrower named Vulpis.

** Dwarves have Thurvid, axeman.

As the name implies, the player controls units on a map divided into hexagons. During a player's turn, they can move their units and attack. When all moves have been made, the player can end the turn, which allows the next player to move. The game has a single-player campaign and multiplayer mode. The player can select one of four races: humans, elves, dwarves, and goblins/orcs.

The human story focuses on a knight named Percival Kent, who is suddenly forced to deal with a goblin invasion. He learns of a powerful orc chief who is rallying the tribes against the Empire. Meanwhile, the Empire has other enemies, who take advantage of the situation and attack, like the elves and the dwarves. At least the dwarves quickly agree to a truce and a temporary alliance, since they hate the elves.

In the former, the story is played out from the perspective of the human Empire, although some levels allow you to control dwarven and elven units.
