Following the emperor's death, the Hesperian Empire collapses, and four factions battle for control. Players can choose to lead the Giants, Mages, Druids, or Pygmies, each with a unique campaign of 20 missions. The objectives typically involve either destroying or defending key targets. Units possess special abilities and an inventory for storing items such as potions, gold, or spells collected from fallen foes. They can be enhanced by moving them to the correct structures, like a blacksmith, and using resources. Traditional base-building is not a feature of the game.
