===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===
+
*For the old manual visit: [[/Old|Old Manual]]
−
 
+
*There is a Spanish version of the old manual found: [[/es|Spanish Manual]]
−
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]].
