| |
|
| ==People==
| |
| First and foremost, Battlemaster is a social game. It is a game about people, the noble troop leaders who fight for their realm.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Family===
| | * [[/Characters|Characters and Family]] |
| You control the destiny of one, '''and only one''', [[family]].
| | * [[/Realms and Regions|Realms and Regions]] |
| | * [[/War|Troops and Combat]] |
| | * [[/Economy|Economy, Trading and Buildings]] |
|
| |
|
| ===Troop Leaders===
| |
| You control one or more [[troop leader]]s. Each of them should have her own wants and personality. She can be happy or depressed, a loyal follower or a power-hungry rebel. The choice is hers, as are the consequences.
| |
|
| |
| ===Character Attributes===
| |
| Every noble must have a [[class]] and will have a [[rank]]. He will also gain [[attributes#Prestige|prestige]], [[attributes#Honour|honour]] and other [[attributes]].
| |
|
| |
| ===The Ruling Class===
| |
| These are the people who fill the [[Government Position]]s. Every realm will need to have a ruler, general, judge and a banker. They are each responsible for overseeing an aspect of the realm.
| |
|
| |
| ==Places==
| |
| The Battlemaster world is composed of several [[Island Descriptions|Islands]], each of which is a world unto itself. Each island is made up of competing [[realm]]s. Each of these realms composed of various [[region]]s.
| |
|
| |
| ===Realm Types===
| |
|
| |
| Your Realm might be governed by any one of a number of [[Government System]]s. It might be a Democracy, Republic, Theocracy, Monarchy, or a Tyranny.
| |
|
| |
| ==Economy==
| |
| Of course, your realm will not last very long unless it receives enough [[food]] to feed its people. It might grow its food in rural regions, or it might [[trade]] or [[loot]] the food. Of course, in order to loot the other realms, and defend your own realm from your enemies, you will need [[unit|troops]]. To recruit troops, you will need [[gold]], which is most easily acquired by exchanging the [[bonds]] you get from [[taxes]] at a [[bank]].
| |
|
| |
| ==War==
| |
| No realm will be able to avoid spilling blood every so often. To fight a war, you will need a [[unit]]. You have a large variety of choice when it comes to [[recruit]]ing your unit. You might opt for infantry, archers, or mixed infantry. [[Prestige]]ous nobles might even command a unit of cavalry, or enigmatic special forces.
| |
|
| |
| Of course, war is not just battles. For one thing you must [[travel]] in order to find your enemy. Or through the skilled use of [[diplomacy]], a wise [[ruler]] can render war unnecessary. In between wars, why not spend your time at a [[tournament]].
