Armageddon Empires Demo (2)

As befits a game in which skillfully utilizing a deck of cards is key to victory, the combat screen in Armageddon Empires both looks and plays a lot like a Magic The Gathering duel, expect with dice (many of which can be loaded).

You begin by positioning combat units in the first or second row (for frontline fighters and support/long-range units respectively), choose targets and then determine whether you hit or not by rolling dice. If you're not happy with the outcome, you also have the option of using Tactics cards to influence the final result or take advantage of a commanding Hero unit's "Fate" points to enable rethrows of the dice.

Needless to say, combat in Armageddon Empires has just as much potential for depth and complexity as the rest of the game...

Magnificent game with a complex and rewarding structure: incredible amount of exploration (at least 12 by 9 hexes map), clever resource choices (that are mainly used to 1.start turn before opponents 2.deploy heroes or troops 3.build bases 4.unleash air attacks), wonderful stealth mechanics to spy enemies movement on the board and last but not the least cutthroat battles.

The influence of luck can be reduced by creating large or varied armies.

This and Solium Infermun are two pearls of PC gaming

The game is good, however, be prepared to smack your keyboard regularly.

Like all real board or card games its based on dices/luck (i fucking hate it), however those computer dices are everything but random, and they wiill screw you on a regular basis with your units scoring hits far lower then the enemys .
