Why We Picked Takeover
Squads rather than single units make positioning a group problem, and each nation brings its own five squad types, three strongholds, and one large spell. Gold mines and farms pay for troops while obelisks pay for magic, so the economy has two currencies to balance before the first fight starts. Eight levels per nation is a real campaign rather than a demo, and there are three nations before the necromancers get a turn.
How to Play
Three things decide whether a run here goes well:
- Pick a nation, then build gold mines and farms for squads, obelisks for mana.
- Protect your strongholds while seizing enemy buildings, which is how a map is won.
- Keep squads grouped and cast the grand spell when the enemy commits to a fight.
Editor’s Note
Three nations plus a necromancer faction give it replay value beyond a single campaign, which is more than the artwork suggests. The interface is plain, the tutorial is thin, and the first match will involve some guessing.
