Summary

War of the Lance is displayed from a top-down perspective. In single-player mode, the player takes control of the Whitestone faction to battle the evil forces of the Highlord (controlled by the AI). In two-player mode, the second player assumes command of the Highlord's forces. This is a turn-based strategy game where the player manages various units and heroes of an army to fight against enemy troops. There are two ways to win the game. The player can win by capturing the enemy capitals (the Highlord's capital is Neraka, while the Whitestone capitals include the four Knightly countries—Solanthus, Caergoth, Gunthar, and Northern Ergoth—plus the Clerist Tower near Palanthas). If neither side has captured the enemy capitals by the end of the game (which occurs at the end of Mar/Apr 354), the side with the most points—based on the size of their remaining forces—wins. Each game year consists of five turns.
